Married Dec 1775 at Westford, MA. In the 1790 census he lived in Ludlow VT. In Oct 1792, 11,739 acres from the western portion of Ludlow were designated as part of the township of Mount Holly. But Per Margaret Jenkins, he settled in Mt Holly in 1791. He built the second frame house in Mt Holly. The nearest grist mill was at Cavendish, and he had to carry, or drag, his grain, a distance of 12 miles, on a crotched stick, finding his way through the forest by means of marked trees. This mode of conveyance was commonly used by the pioneers, and was called a drag.

Rev War Veteran
I Jonas Holden of Mount Holly in the County of Rutland & State of Vermont, of the age of sixty five years, being duly sworn, do declare depose & say that about the 21 of April 1775, a day or two after the battle at Concord, I enlisted into Capt. Oliver Bates company, Col Prescott's Regt. of Massachusetts line to serve until 1 Jan. following – That I immediately joined my company at Cambridge & remained there most of the time until the 1 Jan. 1776 when I was discharged. That in April 1776 I enlisted to serve in Capt. Parker's company, Col. Reed Regiment of Massachusetts line and joined my regiment at Charleston No. 4 in the State of Newhampshire; from thence we marched to Ticonderoga, where I remained until the summer of that year when I went on board Capt. Reed's gundalo in the squadron under the command of Genl Arnold, & after his defeat on the lake I again joined my company at said Ticonderoga - We remained at Ticonderoga until December when I was discharged. In April 1777 I again enlisted into Capt. Joshua Parker's company, Col. Robinson's Regiment to serve for nine months in the Massachusetts line & joined my company at Providence – that soon after I was appointed Sargeant & served as sergeant until August 1777 when I was appointed Ensign & was transferred to Capt. Joseph Cole's company of the same Regt & served as Ensign until the expiration of the time for which I enlisted being 1 Jan 1778, when I was appointed Lieutenant under Col. Wade of the Massachusetts line, and went on the recruiting service until the spring of that year when I joined Capt. Boynton's company in said Regt at Providence and was attached to said company as Lieut. until the 1 Jan. 1779 when time for which I was appointed having expired I left the service. I further say that I was in the battle of Bunker hill, & was wounded there. I was also in the battle of lake Champlain under Genl. Arnold. I never received any written discharge. My commissions I sent by the Hon. Samuel Shaw (in 1811 I think) he being near a member of congress, to Washington to obtain a pension, but I did not succeed in obtaining a pension, and my commissions were never returned to me. I further say that I am a resident citizen of the U. States – that I have resided at Mt. Holly aforesaid about thirty years – that I am poor and that from my reduced circumstances in life I am in need of assistance from my family for support and further say not.
