Holland is in Central Mass, right on the Connecticut border. If you've traveled to Boston via route 84, you've driven right through it.
Family member name: Trenance Weber
Tree branch: Webber
Lifetime: 1710- unknown (after 1760)
Relation: My 7x great-grandfather
Trenance Webber was born to John and Elizabeth Trenance Webber in Beverly, Massachusetts, but moved to Holland around 1760. Then the next five generations of Webber children were born in Holland. They are:
Samuel Webber, born about 1735
his son Samuel Webber, Jr., born 1761
his son Eleazer Webber, born 1785
his son Edwin Ballard Webber, born 1819
his son Charles Arnold Webber, born 1858
Charles Arnold Webber and his wife Emma moved closer to Boston, and their son Harlan (my great grandfather) was born in Dorchester. Then they moved to Needham, where the Webber family lived for 100 years.
As of 2019 in Holland, there is a home that was painstakingly and lovingly built as a replica of the John Webber house of 1760. Here's what my 8x great-grandfather and grandmother's home looked like.
