Thanks for visiting my site. I am glad you ...Teri,<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my site. I am glad you have been able to find success in pursuit of your family history. Like you, I really started getting into this after my father's death. He was the keeper of a lot of family lore and I know he would have really enjoyed all of the information and history that has been uncovered. Let me know if you ever need anything.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585405199121767395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644256589102680393.post-45531946131010219222022-04-30T17:29:01.206-05:002022-04-30T17:29:01.206-05:00Thank you so very much for sharing all of your fab...Thank you so very much for sharing all of your fabulous research. My family departs from the Holcombe family surname at the marriage of Samuel Barber and Sarah Holcombe (my 8th great grandmother). I am Teri Dodd-Dittrich and my email is teri@imager.com. Some of my Barber/Holcombe family ended up in the vicinity of Waco, Texas where my father was born in the early 1930s. He became an orphan at an early age and I only started my research after his death. I know he would be completely amazed and delighted and joyful if he were on this adventure with me. I have recently joined the DAR with father and son Samuel and Ezekiel Barber (son and grandson of the above couple). I suspect that I may be able to add some Holcombe/Bliss/Humpreys to my ribbon as I keep working. Thank you again, TeriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644256589102680393.post-11693862421158971042016-10-02T23:49:33.582-05:002016-10-02T23:49:33.582-05:00Kathy,

I too, did not originally have a connection, but I knew my GG Grandfather Reuben Holcomb was born in 1816 in New York. At the time, I really did not know much about the Holcombe family of Connecticut but I had a hunch that Rueben’s line went back into Colonial America and it did. Happy Hunting!Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585405199121767395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644256589102680393.post-21584478797836087382016-10-01T23:55:35.371-05:002016-10-01T23:55:35.371-05:00Glad to see you back in action and wanted to let y...Glad to see you back in action and wanted to let you know that you have at least one VERY interested reader. I am researching my ancestor Azariah Holcomb who was born in Missouri in 1800. Azariah can be linked to his siblings, but I have not linked any of them to their parents. It is likely that they were the children of a Nathaniel Holcomb who can be documented in Missouri in 1806 but who was deceased by 1818. Nathaniel had one or two wives, maybe more. His widow probably married Benajah Brown and had a son James Brown with him. One of my cousins did a DNA test that indicates a connection to Nathaniel Holcomb/Mary Buell line. My theory is that the Nathaniel Holcomb who lived in Missouri was Nathaniel Holcomb VI. I am looking at every scrap of Holcomb information that come my way. You can read about my Holcomb problem on my blog.I look forward to your blog updates.Kathy Dhttp://kdduncan.blogspot.com/2013/06/azariah-holcombs-siblings.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
