Documents Great Migration: Nicholas Holt (1608-1685)
Nicholas Holt and his first wife Elizabeth (Short), originally from Romsey, Hampshire, England, arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in June 1635 as a tanner and dishturner. Settling in Newbury with his family shortly after arriving aboard the ship "James," he held land parcels in the area and actively participated in the community.Nicholas was heavily involved in civic duties; he was fined for meeting tardiness yet was entrusted with important responsibilities like surveying town fences and serving as town surveyor. His leadership extended to the military, where he was part of Newbury's defense formation, emphasizing his commitment to community security.In the mid-1640s, Nicholas was among the first settlers of Andover, and was influential in the town's early development. His civic engagement continued in Andover; he was one of the original church members and was involved in defining town boundaries and infrastructure like highways and bridges.We have 4 lines of descent from Nicholas and Elizabeth, all through the Wright (Tucker) line.
