HOLCOMB ANCESTRY

The Holcombe family is of ancient English origin. The name is
derived from two words, Holt, meaning woody, and cum or combe,
meaning a valley between two hills. There have been many em-
inent members of the Holcombe family in New England. Among
them are Amasa Holcombe, the scientist; Chester Holcombe, the
diplomatist; Rev. Frederick Holcombe, one of the founders of
Trinity College in Hartford. Among the men of prominence who
have been allied with the Holcombe family and are ancestors of
members of the branch of the family mentioned below are: John
Webster, governor of Connecticut; Deacon Samuel Chapin, one
of the founders of Springfield, Massachusetts; Hon. William Phelps,



168 Three Eundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service

one of the commissioners appointed by the Massachusetts Bay
Colony in 1636 to govern the people of Connecticut, assistant, mem-
ber of the council of the Pequot War in 1637, and member of the
council which framed the constitution in 1639; Captain Joseph
Wadsworth, who concealed the charter of Connecticut in the famous
Charter Oak; and General Nathan Johnson, an officer in the war of
1812, who was one of the most prominent lawyers in the state, quar-
ter-master-general for many years, and state senator.

The family of Holcombe settled for centuries upon the estate of
Hull, County Devon, England, — seven descents of which are
recorded in the Heralds visitations of 1620 — sent several of its mem-
bers over to America between 1630 and 1695. The first colonist of
the name, Thomas Holcombe, was born either in Pembrokeshire,
Wales, or in Devonshire, England, in 1601, and, it is believed, was
a son of Gilbert and Ann Holcombe. He came to New England,
in 1630, in the "Mary & John." He married Ehzabeth Ferguson,
some authorities state, before he left England, and others say the
marriage took place in Dorchester, Massachusetts. She was born
in England and was a fellow passenger on the "Mary & John."
Thomas Holcomb (or Holcombe) was made freeman at Dorchester,
in 1634; sold his lands there in 1635, and soon afterward removed to
Windsor. He was a prominent man in the settlement. In 1639, he
was one of those who represented Windsor and Hartford in the
forming of the Constitution of the Colony of Connecticut. He died
Sept. 7, 1657, After his death, his widow married, Aug. 5, 1658,
James Enho. She died Oct. 7, 1679.

The Arms and Motto given in "American Heraldica," by E.
Dev. Vermont, have been preserved especially in this branch of the
Holcombe family . A complete pedigree of the Holcombes of Devon-
shire, starting from John Holcombe, Knight (XI Century), and
including the father of the emigrant, Thomas Holcombe, is given
in the "Holcombe Genealogy" by Jesse Seaver.

Holcombe, Thomas, early at Dorchester, Mass., where, in May,
1634, he was made freeman; in 1635, sold his ho. and lands to
Richard Jones; soon after rem. to W.; in 1639, went to Poq., 4
m. W. of W.(see p. 159, Vol. I); was, in 1639, one of those who rep.

EAST WINDOW OF FARLEIGH CHAPEL
There is some fine old glass in the east window of fifteenth century date,
said to have been brought from abroad, and believed to be Spanish. The
subjects are Moses and the Brazen Serpent, Job and His Wife, St. Francis
and St. Clare, St. Luke, and the Madonna and Child, and the Resurrection.
There are other fine specimens of old Flemish glass.

About 64 miles out of London, where you follow the quaint old
Bath Coach Road, you will arrive at the village of Hungerford, the
ancient seat of the Hungerford Family, in Pastoral, Berkshire, and
extending into Wiltshire. Hungerford is well off the well traveled
tourist's routes, but it holds more than passing interests to the
traveler, who likes to linger long in quaint by-ways of the world,
studying old customs of olden days, where they are still observed
in all the simple ingenuousness. Such a traveler would delight
in the observance of Hock Day. The Holiday occurs the Thursday,
Easter Week. Hungerford is also a favorite Hunting Center. John
of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, presented to the citizens the Manoral
rights including Kennit and other streams in the locality, which are
numerous, and the records are carefully preserved in the town hall.
One of their town houses was located next to Buckingham Palace,
on the Thames River.

Lucy Hungerford, daughter and co-heiress of Sir Walter Hunger-
ford, and widow of Sir John, son of Nicholas St. John and Elizabeth
Blount, his wife, married Sir Anthony Hungerford (the son of her
Fifth cousin Anthony Hungerford, Sr.), born 1564; died 1627, of
Black Bourton or Bourton Inges, who by his wife Lucy had

Children :

1. Sir Edward Hungerford, K. B., first son of Cadenham,

born 1596; died 1648, a spendthrift.

2. Sarah Hungerford, married Sir John Carew.

3. Anne Hungerford, of Boston, married John Leigh (or Lee,

tradition — General Lee Family). They had children:
