Biography of ABIEL HOLMES

 
HOLMES, Abiel, clergyman, born in Woodstock, Connecticut, 24 December 1763; died in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 4 June 1837. Abiel was graduated at Yale in 1783, became a tutor there, and at the same time studied theology. In 1785 he was settled as a pastor in Midway, Georgia, but six years later he resigned, and in 1792 he was settled over the first parish in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he was pastor till September, 1832. In 1817 he delivered a course of lectures on ecclesiastical history, with special reference to New England. He had married for his first wife, in 1790, a daughter of Ezra Stiles, president of Yale college, became his literary executor, and published his life (Boston, 1798). His second wife was a daughter of Oliver Wendell. The examination of Dr. Stiles's manuscripts drew his attention to the subject of early American history, and he wrote "Annals of America" (2 vols., Cambridge, 1805; new ed., brought down to 1820,1829), which became a standard authority. He was a frequent contributor to the collections of the Massachusetts historical society, the 27th volume of which contains a list of his writings. His home was in Cambridge.
