     David Holcombe was born on 30 November 1737 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT.2 He was the son of David Holcombe and Sarah Slater. David Holcombe married Philura Hollenbeck. David Holcombe died in 1776.

Seaver says David's father married Phillina but since the father's wife Sarah did not die until 1762 and David and Phillina had child Anna in 1760, this would be highly unlikely. It is not certain that David and Phillina belong here but David's birth and marriage are at the appropriate times for this family. Canaan records indicate that David and Phillina had children.

      Lydia Drake was also known as Lois Drake.3 She was born on 15 June 1710 at Windsor, Hartford Co., CT. She was the daughter of Enoch Drake and Elizabeth Barber. Lydia Drake married Matthew Holcombe, son of Ensign Joshua Holcombe and Hannah Carrington, on 20 January 1729/30 at Windsor, Hartford Co., CT.4 Lydia Drake married Wright (?). Lydia Drake died on 9 October 1799 at age 89.5

Lydia Married 2nd Henry or Jonathan Wright. They had children John, Moses, and Sybil. There is an inconsistency here. Stiles shows that Lydia was born in 1727; bowman has her marrying Mathew Holcombe (Vol I, page 58; then Benjamin Loomis in 1760 (vol I, Page 88).
