Samuel Holden

The son of Joseph Holden by his second wife Priscilla Watt, he was employed when still young by the Russia Company at Riga.

Undertakings by Sir Robert Walpole not to obstruct actively moves for repeal turned out to be largely irrelevant when Holden tried to introduce legislation in the area.

[2][3] He married Jane Whitehalgh of the Whitehaugh, Instones, Staffordshire, with whom he had a son and 3 daughters.

In 1744 his daughter and co-heir Mary married John Jolliffe, the MP for Petersfield.
