  40 page paper back 6"x9"

John Holme (1632-1704) arrived in Philadelphia in 1686 and was an influential early justice of the peace. He married the widow of Nicholas Moore of Moreland Manor. His poem A True Relation of the Flourishing of the State of Pennsylvania is considered to be the earliest example of metrical verse written in Pennsylvania. Holme's immediate descendants settled along the lower Pennypack Creek and would eventually give Holmesburg its name. The attached biography of John Holme including notes on the poem was written by Holme family genealogist, Karen Kotlarchik.
