     Huldah Holcombe was the daughter of Thomas Holcombe and Sarah Loomis.

Bowman questions the placement of Huldah here, and references the Loomis genealogy.

Carol Laun dos not show her either.

     Bowman cites the Simsbury records for hannah, but shows her born in 1742, parents married 1742? Hannah Holcombe was born in 1741. She was the daughter of Josiah Holcombe and Abigail Higley.

     Arabella Loomis was born in 1781.¹ She was the daughter of Luther Loomis and Jemima Bronson.¹ Arabella Loomis died on 5 June 1792.¹

     Elizabeth Holcombe married Zaccheus Gillet. Elizabeth Holcombe was born in 1749. She was the daughter of Moses Holcombe and Elizabeth Phelps.

     Allen Holcombe was the son of Moses Holcombe and Elizabeth Phelps.

     Eunice Gillet was the daughter of William Gillett and Mary Saxton. Eunice Gillet married Daniel Gaines on 3 December 1728. Eunice Gillet died on 24 May 1740 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT.¹

     Bowman questions this child. And it could be that he does not belong to Daniel, as in Bowman, but to Hezekiah. as in Seaver.

Lemuel C. and Julia were enumerated in the 1850 Granby, Hartford Co., CT census. Lemuel was a teacher, age 55, Julia was 60. Lemuel Cicero Holcombe was born in 1795. He was the son of Daniel Holcombe and Sarah Holcombe. Lemuel Cicero Holcombe married Julia Griswold.

     Lemuel Cicero Holcombe appears in two different lines. Julia is the daughter of Phineas Griswold and Vashti Bates. She is entered twice, as wife of the dual-Lemuel, but her parents are only shown once. Julia Griswold married Lemuel Cicero Holcombe, son of Daniel Holcombe and Sarah Holcombe.

     John G. Holcombe was the son of Daniel Holcombe and Sarah Holcombe. Bowman questions this child.

     Noah Holcombe was the son of Daniel Holcombe and Sarah Holcombe. Bowman questions this child.

     John Griffin Holcombe was born on 14 August 1738 at Granby, Hartford Co., CT.³ He was the son of Consider Holcombe and Ruth Griffin. John Griffin Holcombe died on 20 August 1758 at Lake George, NY, at age 20.⁴

Seaver states he died at Lake George in the Army; Weir states he was pensioned at age 84. The Simsbury vital records state "departed this life in the Army at Lake George, August 21st 1758."

Carol Laun notes he actually died on August 20.

Carol clearly explains the errors by Weir-McPherson. An 1835 Revolutionary War Pension list from Ohio has John G. Holcomb listed as age 84 (he was actually 75). Since the pension was issued in 1818, McPherson assumed he was 84 in 1818, and thus blended the uncle and nephew who bore the same name. However, the Pension Record for John G. Holcomb clearly states that he was 58 in 1818, thus born in 1760.

     Consider Holcombe Jr. was born on 6 May 1741 at Salmon Brook Ecclesiastical Society, Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT.^3,2 He was the son of Consider Holcombe and Ruth Griffin.⁴ Consider Holcombe Jr. married Eunice Gillett, daughter of Othniel Gillett and Eunice (?).

He enlisted in the connecticut Line, Colonel Samuel Wyllys, Champion's Company, enlisting March 3, 1778 for three years or the duration of the war, discharged April 18, 1782 for inability.²

Bowman Seaver records the first six children with the exception of Elizabeth. Seaver and Simsbury Soldiers list the birth of Elipalet in 1779. Weir listed the descendants of Eliphalet. Seaver listed Eliphant, Consider, Moses, Benjamin, and John G. III. Simsbury Soldiers list the following while Weir assigns them to son John G.: Isaac, Lucy, and Jane. All of the records except Simsbury Soldiers list Hannah.

The 1790 census of Granby listed 2 males 16 or over, 3 males younger than 16, and 5 females.
