Hi,
I came across your website and found a name where I can fill in the
blanks. Joshua Holcombe was born 18 Sept 1672 Simsbury and died 10
Feb 1727 Simsbury. He married 1694 Mary/Hannah Carrington who was
born 1675 Simsbury and died 13 May 1708 Simsbury. Strangely, I don't
find her or her family in my book of Simsbury records.
