Sarah Bowne, the daughter of John and Lydiah Holmes Bowne, married Richard Salter, a lawyer, judge, and colonial legislator. Hannah, the daughter of Richard and Sarah Bowne Salter, was born about 1692 (possibly in Freehold, Monmouth Co., NJ). Sometime before Sept. 14, 1714 (in Monmouth Co., NJ?), Hannah Salter married Mordecai Lincoln (an iron founder) and moved to Chester Co., PA. Hannah Salter Lincoln was the mother of "Virginia" John Lincoln. "Virginia" John Lincoln was the father of the Abraham Lincoln who settled in Kentucky and was killed by Indians there in the 1780s. This Abraham Lincoln was the grandfather of Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States. Therefore, the Rev. Obadiah and Katherine Hyde Holmes were the fifth great grandparents of Abraham Lincoln. In addition, Hannah Bowne Salter's son, Edwin Salter, lived in New Jersey. Edwin Salter wrote the Early Dutch Settlers and wrote an article on Rev.
Obadiah Holmes which was printed in the Monmouth Democrat newspaper of September 6, 1888. The American ancestry of Abraham Lincoln, including his line to Obadiah and Katherine (Hyde) Holmes is documented in Ancestors of American Presidents, Gary Boyd Roberts, published in cooperation with the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, Mass., 1995, pp. 33-36, 149-150. This book provides the lineage of each president, including their royal and Mayflower lines and other notable connections and is still in print.
