She is NOT the daughter of Joshua Holmes, Jr. and Fear Sturgis. That Temperance Holmes' marriages were John Smith in 10 May 1727, and JamesTreadway in 10 Dec 1761.

Sources: Brown Genealogy.

Barbour in his Stonington vitals, v2, p68 (film 2,923), has a Temperance
Holmes born 17 Jan. 1727/1728. This would be the daughter of John Holmes,son
of Joshua Jr. and Fear Sturgis.
Don't know how Eleazer's wife ties in with the Holmes family. But
Brown Genealogy could be wrong. Maybe Eleazer was married to Mary all
the time and did not have a first marriage--although he did have adaughter
named Temperance Brown.
