Notes
Birth
Known by the original Wampanoag inhabitants as "Nobnocket", this area was first referred to by the colonial settlers as "Homes Hole"; "Homes" from a Wampanoag term for "old man," and "Hole" meaning a sheltered inlet. By the 19th century it was more commonly spelled "Holmes Hole" after the descendants of John Holmes (1730�?812) who had settled in the village during the second half of the 18th century. In 1871 the village officially changed its name to "Vineyard Haven".Or born in Fairhaven, Bristol County, Massachusetts
