Horace Holden was admitted to the New York Bar in 1811 and practiced law in New York City.
During the war of 1812, he was stationed at Sandy Hook and was on General Colfax's personal staff.
He ordained as one of the Ruling Elders of the Brick Presbyterian Church of Manhattan in March of 1823.
He was a very religious man whose last words were,
"A guilty, weak and helpless worm, On thy kind arms I fall."
But here is voice faltered and all he could say to his weeping wife and daughter,
"Finish -- finish it!"
They added,
"Be thou my strength and righteousness, My Jesus and my all!"
In addition to Mary Cotton, Horace was also married to Bathsheba Sanford 1793-1820 and Catherine Plant Judson 1805-1886.
