McCracken notes that it was probable that Damaris was not baptized immediately after birth as her first child was born 1727. Mr. Gamaliel Ward informed the Simsbury clerk that the first eight of his children were born at Hartford (L. B. Barbour found no births recorded there), but he did not say this until after the birth of the 10th, when his memory may have been hazy. The Ward Genealogy, cited above, says that the first five were born at Union, the 6th at Somers. William Gamaliel Ward was born on 2 October 1694. He was the son of William Ward. William Gamaliel Ward married Damaris Holcombe, daughter of Sgt. Jonathan Holcombe and Mary Buell. William Gamaliel Ward died on 6 June 1774 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT, at age 79.

     Jacob Holcombe was born on 14 April 1715 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT.2 He was the son of Sgt. Jonathan Holcombe and Mary Buell. Jacob Holcombe married Margaret Case, daughter of Capt. Richard Case and Amy Reed, on 10 February 1736/37 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT.3 Jacob Holcombe died on 29 July 1737 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT, at age 22.4

McCracken notes that his death was either 29 July 1737 according to Simsbury Records, or 13 July 1737 according to Manwaring (3:286). Jocob's inventory of £78/07/05 was taken 14 Oct 1737 by James Hillier, James Smith and John Wilsoxson 2nd; distribution gave £33/15/03 to widow Margaret; to Azariah Holcomb £11/1/3; to Damarus Ward alias Holcomb and to Mary Holcomb [not yet married] £L11/05/03 each. This shows there was no posthumous child.

Deanna Bowman shows Damaris as a daughter of Sgt. Jonathan Holcombe and mary Buel (Vol 1, page 73). Given that Ruth shows that Jacob and Margaret Had 3 children between when they were married Feb. 10, 1736, and when he died July 27, 1737, it seems unlikely that these were their children. Perhaps they were from an unrecorded earlier marriage of Jacob's?

     Seaver does not mention this child. McCracken notes that whe was named as Mary Case, with Damaris Ward and Azariah Holcombe in Peter Buell's will as grandchildren; wife of Amos Case in her father's will. There is another Mary who married Amos Case. The other Mary was a daughter of Corporal Samuel and Marth Phelps Holcombe. Bowman shows both Marys but continues the line under Corporal Samuel Holcombe's line. Mary Holcombe was born on 10 July 1717 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT. She was the daughter of Sgt. Jonathan Holcombe and Mary Buell. Mary Holcombe died on 27 January 1802 at age 84.

     Michael Holcombe was born on 11 July 1733 at Granby, Hartford Co., CT.3,4 He was the son of Jonathan Holcombe and Amy Case. Michael Holcombe married Mary Hillyer, daughter of Captain James Hillyer and Mary Eno Humphrey, on 3 February 1757.5,6 Michael Holcombe married Mabel Holt in November 1799.6 Michael Holcombe died on 20 January 1817 at Sheffield, Berkshire Co., MA, at age 83.4

Seaver indicates that he moved with his brother Jonathan to St. Albans, Vt., an opinion which McPherson shares. DAR records seem to indicate otherwise, showing his death in Massachsetts.

McCracken asks: Did he marry Mary Hillyer, daughter of James and Mary (Humphrey)Hillyer? He is mentioned in his grandfather's will and was probably living 1790 in Sheffield, MA (3/0/2), next to Plinny (1/1/1).

Michael served as a 2d Lieutenant, Capt. John Spoor's 2d co. (West co. in Sheffield), 1st Berkshire Co. regt. of Mass. militia; list of officers chosen by the several companies in said regiment, as returned by Mark Hopkins and others, field officers, dated Great Barrington, March 26, 1776; ordered in Council May 6, 1776, that said officers be commissioned; reported commissioned May 6, 1776; also, Lieutenant, Capt. John King's co., Col. Hopkins's (Berkshire Co.) regt; entered service July 15, 1776; discharged Aug. 4, 1776; service, 20 days; mileage out and home (180 miles) allowed; company marched by order of Brig. Gen. Fellows; also, 2d Lieutenant, Capt. Ephraim Fitch's (4th) co., Col. Benjamin Simonds's detachment of Berkshire Co. militia; muster roll dated Camp at Ticonderoga, Feb. 25, 1777; entered service Dec. 16, 1776; engagement to expire March 15, 1777; also, Capt. Ephraim Fitch's co., Col. Benjamin Simonds's detachment; return dated Sheffield, May 1, 1777, signed by John Fellows, of a detachment made from said Fellows's (Berkshire Co.) brigade, to reinforce the Continental Army, agreeable to order of General Court, and which marched the beginning of Jan. [1777]; also, Lieutenant, Capt. John Spoor's co., Col. John Ashley's (Berkshire Co.) regt; entered service July 7, 1777; discharged July 28, 1777; service, 22 days; company marched to Kingsbury near Fort Ann; also, same co. and regt; entered service Sept. 19, 1777; discharged Oct. 19, 1777; service, 31 days; company marched to Stillwater; roll certified at Sheffield by Brig. Gen. John Fellows; also, 1st Lieutenant, Capt. John Spoor's (2d) co., Col. Asheley's (Ashley's) 1st Berkshire Co. regt. of Mass. militia; list of officers; commissioned June 9, 1778; also, 1st Lieutenant, Capt. John Spoor's co., Col. John Ashley's (Berkshire Co.) regt; engaged Oct. 15, 1780; discharged Oct. 17, 1780; service, 4 days; company marched to the Northward by order of Brig. Gen.

McPherson only lists one child, Mary. Norment lists others.

This child not mentioned by Seaver. McCracken notes he was not in grandfather's will in 1759, so perhaps not the Plinny living next to Michael in 1790 at Sheffield, MA (1/1/1). Also not mentioned by Ruth Cost Duncan. Pliny Holcombe was born on 19 August 1735 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT.1 He was the son of Jonathan Holcombe and Amy Case.

     Amy Holcombe was the daughter of Jonathan Holcombe and Amy Case. Not mentioned in Seaver, but McCracken notes that she was mentioned in grandfather's will, 1759. Could this be the daughter "Ann" listed by Ruth Cost Duncan?

     In an ironic difference, McPherson and Seaver have confused this John, born 1782 in Ct.

Seaver says this John is his Great Grandfather, but that he is descended from Thomas-Joshua-Joshua-Phineas-John; on Page 20 of his book.

For now, Seaver himself appears where he wanted, under the Joshua line, while further research is done. Finding birth records in CT will not be very helpful, there were apparently two Johns who went with their fathers John and Benjamin, to Panton, Vt. Perhaps wills or probate records will help.

John was a farmer, stockman,"champion" deer hunter and trapper in the Adirondack Mountains, NY. During the War of 1812, while at his hunting shanty in the mountain forest, he was captured by the Indians and sold to the British as a prisoner of war. His family considered him dead, but after a time, when it was ascertained that he was not a soldier, he was liberated and returned home. After his release he moved to Cattaragus Co., NY. During his absence, his wife "distributed" the children among relations.
John Holcombe married Mary Lynde, daughter of Jonathan Lynde and Molly Franklin. John Holcombe was born in 1782. He was the son of Lt. Benjamin Holcombe and Mary Kendall.
