Excerpt from Chapter I
Jacob Hole and Barbara his wife sailed from Plymouth, England, in
1740 and landed after a tedious voyage of many weeks, in
Philadelphia.
Just where these founders of the Hole family in America came from
has never been known to their descendants. And it was not until the
summer of 1900, when the writer was sent to Europe to procure data,
search records and write a family history, that we so much as knew
their nationality.
It had been a tradition in the family that Jacob Hole was German
and came to America from Germany; yet no proof whatever had ever
been produced to substantiate the claim or prove the theory. The
various intermarriages into the best English families of
Pennsylvania and Virginia seemed to indicate that the Holes were of
English origin. A thorough search of English records and
genealogies has clearly shown that the name is English, though of
Norse origin, a visit to the English branches of the family, to the
Estates and Freeholds belonging to them, has enabled the writer to
give a tolerably complete and full account of the Holes in England
and America. Devonshire, in the south-west of England has been the
home of the Hole family for the last one thousand years. The Estate

Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage
of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality
reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable
prices.
This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images
of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also
preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics,
unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and
every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and
interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human
than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a
unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader
organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection
resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and
their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes
beyond the mere words of the text.
