His biography of the first President of Wesleyan College, The Life of Wilbur Fisk, D.D., First President of Wesleyan University, published in 1842, was much admired. He was stationed in Elizabethtown and 35 years old when he married the 29-year old widow Lydia Austin Kollock (widow of Asa Hillyer). The couple spent time in Connecticut where her husband was teaching at Wesleyan, but later settled in Hoboken, Hudson Co, NJ. Lydia and Joseph would become parents to 2 known surviving children: * Mary Josephine Holdich (1830-1915) * Henrietta Howard Holdich (1841-1914) Rev. Holdich was widowed in 1879 when his wife of 50 years died at age 79. Following her death, he removed to Morristown with daughter Henrietta, and he died there 13 years later in 1892 at age 98. Daughter Mary Josephine would marry and be widowed at a young age, but she raised two children on her own until her death in 1915. Daughter Henrietta Howard Holdich, who never married, became a noted poet and writer living many years in Morristown. She was the author of children's stories and poems in Harper's Magazine and other periodicals, and the author of a story which was an inspiration for the founding of the Daughters of the American Revolution,"Hannah Arnett's Faith" which retold the story of her famous grandmother inspiring her husband and neighbors to remain patriots during the Revolutionary War. After her father died, she removed to England where she remained until her death in 1914 at Chapel House over Norton Oxford Administration.
