The 1820 census show four family members and they are living next to Nathaniel Holcombe in the area of Norht Granby known as the Wedge.

     James Rogers Holcombe was born on 30 April 1871 at Walnut Hill, Newcastle Co., Del. He was the son of Thomas Holcombe and Elizabeth Hindman Barney.

Apparently the same J. Rogers Holcombe enumerated in the 1930 Minquidale, New Castle Co., DE, federal census, handwritten page 18A, printed page 205. His wife was Sylvia M. age 42, born in Indiana. Children in the household were Elizabeth age 26, Olivia 21, Thomas 21, Virginia 7, James R. 3 years 5 months. Reba age 61, his sister, was also in the household. This almost looks like two sets of children, perhaps Sylvia is his second wife?

Reba was enumerated in the 1940 New Castle Co., DE, federal census, ED2-38B, page 5A, as head of household. Her divorced brother, James R., an insurance company manager, age 68 and his family were also in the household. Children listed were Elizabeth 35, Thomas 32, Virginia 18, and James R. Jr, 13.

During the Civil War Ellsworth was a member of Co. K., 105th Reg, Ohio Infantry, and received his discharge on June 3, 1865 in Washington, DC. He was a farmer, county trustee, and a Methodist.

Ellsworth's specific experience is not documented, but Lt. Col. George T. Perkins, commander of the 105th Ohio Infantry wrote this about the Atlanta Campaign from 7 May 1864 to August 6 1864:

"The regiment broke camp at Ringgold, Ga., May 7, 1864, and marched to Tunnel Hill; thence it marched via Snake Creek Gap and took a position confronting the rebel position at Resaca; was under fire of the enemy's guns at that place May 14 and 15, but not engaged. After the evacuation of Resaca by the enemy the regiment joined in pursuit and marched to Kingston; thence it marched to Burn Hickory, where, with the brigade and division, it lay for several days guarding trains. Ordered to the front from this place with the brigade, it took part in the various movements which compelled the enemy to fall back to their position at Kennesaw Mountain; was under fire of the rebel artillery at Kennesaw Mountain for several days, and after the abandonment of this position by the enemy was stationed with the brigade at Marietta, Ga., from July 3 to 13; marched from this point to Chattahoochee River. After crossing this river had some skirmishing with the enemy near Peach Tree Creek, and finally took position before Atlanta, July 22, where it has since remained. The regiment-with the exception of two days when it, with the Thirty-fifth Ohio, was detailed to guard train-has operated with the brigade in all its movements. The casualties during the entire time are as follows: Killed-enlisted men, 4; wounded-officers, 1; enlisted men, 29."

Then Lt. Col. Perkins reported on 9 September 1864:

"The regiment with the brigade remained in front of the rebel position near Atlanta until the morning of August 27. That morning it moved with the brigade at 2 a. m., passing around the left of the rebel army, and crossing the Montgomery railroad seven miles west of East Point. From this point it moved in a southeasterly direction, striking the Macon railroad about a mile north of Jonesborough. On the 1st instant, with the brigade, the regiment came up as a support of the Third Brigade, of the Third Division, Fourteenth Army Corps, but was not engaged. On the 6th instant it took up line of march for Atlanta, near which place it arrived on the 8th instant, and where it now lies. The regiment has moved and operated with the brigade during the entire time. The effective force of the regiment when it left Ringgold was-officers, 17; enlisted men, 388. Its present effective force is-officers, 15; enlisted men, 286. Of this number 1 officer has died of disease and 1 resigned. Of the enlisted men as follows: Killed, 4; sent to hospital wounded, 27; sick, 71; total, 102."
