     Sarah Mary Hull was born in July 1835 at NY.^1,2 She married Irving H. Holcombe, son of Albern Holcombe and Elizabeth Thomas, in December 1853.² Sarah Mary Hull died in January 1907 at age 71.²

Sarah's mother died when she was an infant, her father when she was four. A surgeon in the days when nothing was known of asepsis or antiseptics, he pricked his finger during an autopsy and said, "In four days I'll be a dead man!" He was, too. Don't remember hearing what happened to Sarah and Charles, but when Mary was 12 years old Charles died and she fainted at the grave after the fashion of the day.

It was probably then that she went to live with "Uncle and Aunt Carver" whose portraits are still at Acidalia. apparently they were "wealthy" people and that may have been why the did not favor Irving Holcomb as their niece's suitor. The Benjamin Carvers had two sons, Frank and another, perhaps Benjamin also. And four daughters who became Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Leiter, Mrs. Remington, and Mrs. Campbell. Captain Campbell and his wife lived in England.
