Will notes for Joshua HOLCOMB
Manwaring 1:467 shows inventory of £474/8/0 taken Dec. 25, 1690, by John Higley and Samuel Wilcox (Selectmen) and his two brothers, Benajah and Nathaniel. (The Puritans evidently did not celebrate Christmas.) Records of his probate list his children. However, one reference does not list Joshua who was surely living (possibly an error by Manwaring). Seaver lists another child, Joab, not mentioned by McCracken.
