Solaman Holman divided among his sons, Edward, Thomas, and Solomon lands in Sutton, now known as Millbury. From 1726 Solomon's estate in village of West Millbury. From there is seen the site of Fort or Block-house of Indian days of Sutton.
Soloman Holman was one of the early settlers in the west parish of Newbury. He was born in England, served 7 years on board a man of war, ran away in Bermuda, when sent after milk, secreted himself in the barn till the vessel sailed, and lived by milking the cows. He was discovered by the owner of the barn, who befriended him, and gave him employment. He afterward married his employers daughter Mary, came to Newbury, built him a bark and then a log house on land of which he bought 13 acres for a fat heifer. Mr Holman died may 7, 1753, in his 82nd. year. This land is now owned by Mr. Jonathan Lisley, from whom I obtained this account.
