     Timothy Holcombe was born on 25 February 1756 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT.4 He was the son of Capt. Hezekiah Holcombe and Susanna Alderman.3 Timothy Holcombe married Elizabeth Griffin, daughter of Benoni Griffin and Mary Delacey.

Simsbury Records. They moved to Salisbury, Ct., and later to West Virginia. He had a Revolutionary War Pension.

Additional information on this family is from James Schultz, waldenwalnuts@yahoo.com , Oregon, IL 61061.

Michael O'Farrell has done considerable research on this line and consulted with James Schultz and come to the following conclusions in an email dated 21 February 2011:

Despite what is claimed in McPherson, Timothy, son of Hezekiah and Susanna (Alderman) Holcomb, was not a lieutenant. According to his pension file, he served in the Revolutionary War on three separate occasions and each time as a private. He also stated in his application that he had lived in Simsbury until removing to Bath Co, Va, at age 33. Therefore, it seems unlikely that Timothy ever lived in Salisbury, Connecticut, as is claimed in McPherson's book. He was drafted and guarded military stores in Litchfield for a while, near the end of the war. Perhaps that is where the confusion arose.

Also note that, since Timothy and wife Elizabeth lived in Simsbury, I assume that all of their children with birth dates prior to 1789-90, or so, were born there, and not in Salisbury, as McPherson has them.

While I am as yet not absolutely certain, I do not personally believe that Timothy Holcomb actually lived in Greenbrier Co, as is claimed. He owned land in that county, but all of the data I have so far places him in the counties of Bath and Pocahontas. There is some uncertainty, though, and we must exercise some caution. Last I heard, local historians were still attempting to locate Timothy's initial residence in what is now Pocahontas Co, WVa. I also happen to know that he owned more than one home and would relocate his entire household from one to another on a whim. So, the jury is still out on this one, but it is something of which we should be aware.

     Joshua Holcombe IV was born on 2 February 1724 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT.5 He was the son of Joshua Holcombe III and Marey Griffin.4 Joshua Holcombe IV married Martha Griffin, daughter of Stephen Griffin and Mary Delacey. Joshua Holcombe IV died in 1784.

Bowman found this death date to be 1772 while Seaver states he died in 1784 of small pox. If he died in 1772, his widow could be the Mrs. Martha Jr. who married Adonjah Ford in August 1772 (GR), If he died in 1784, his widow could be the one who married Rene Cossitt in 1786. There is a picture of the tombstone of Deacon Joshua who died n 1784 on page 44 of Weir, but one should be cautious in reading tombstones, see the article by McCracken in TAG 44:58-60. Seaver and Simsbury records indicate that Joshua had children.

Thomas Howard, the head of the East Granby Historical Society, found that Deacon Joshua Holcombe is buried on the crest of Hatchet Hill, a few feet east of the Meacomet Trail. His 10-month old granddaughter, Ruth Ford, who died two days earlier, is buried a few feet away. Mr. Howard believes that she also died if the smallpox epidemic that took so many lives at that time. Also in the graveyard are the bodies of Ruth's cousins, 2 year-old Caleb Holcomb, who died on April 6, 1788, and his 1-year-old twin sisters, Amarilla and Boadica who died in March 1793; Caleb and his sisters share one headstone.

William E. Talbot, took Joshua's stone and constructed a foundation fo a large tool shed, which was later converted to a home. Tom Howard has started a fund to replace the stones on the original graves.
