    Notes:

    Notes from "The Great Migrations Begins Vol 1-3 page 966:
    Several sources claim that Thomas Holcombe married at Dorchester on 14 May 1634 Elizabeth Ferguson. Such a marriage is not on record, and the date is that on which Holcombe was admitted to freemanship. In 1964 Jacobus noted that "her maiden name has been stated as Ferguson, without proof or probability"(McArthur-Barnes 169)

    George McCracken has written an article on the fraudulent claim of ancestry for Thomas Holcombe (TAG 26: 109-110). And also an article on the inaccurate tombstone erected in his memory (TAG 44: 58-60).

    Thomas's parentage and birthplace in England is unknown.

    George McCracken has also written "Thomas Holcombe's Earlier Posterity" a genealogy of the earlier generations (TAG 57 p.65-76, 16-169, 225-229)

    Thomas married Elizabeth Unknown. Elizabeth was born before 1609. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Elizabeth UnknownElizabeth Unknown was born before 1609.

    Other Events:

    • Reference Number: 6260

    Notes:

    It is claimed that Thomas married Elizabeth Ferguson on 14 May 1634 in Dorchester.

    Anderson in: the Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to N.E. 1620-1633, Vols. I-III, NEHGS Boston, 1995p. 966, just lists her as Elizabeth ___, born about 1617; she married second, James Eno as his third wife.

    TAG: Vol 57: 1981: p. 66: the common statement that his wife Elizabeth's name was Ferguson, is highly improbably and completely undocumented.

    The above is also stated in TAG. Vol. 58: 1982 p. 125 and again in TAG: Vol. 60:1984 : p. 185, the last stating Torrey erroneously included her name as Ferguson in New England Marriages.

  3. 6.  James Eno was born on 21 Aug 1625 in London, England (son of Jean Henno and Catelaine Jone); died in 1682 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA.

    Other Events:

    • Name: Jacques Hennot
    • Name: James Enno
    • Reference Number: 6226

    Notes:

    Name appears as Enno and Eno in New England records. It is believed that James Enno is the same person as Jacques Hennot who left London for North America. Hennot was baptized 21 Aug 1625 in London at the Threadneedle Street Church. This was a church used by French Protestants or Huegenots who fled France due to religious persecution in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. Jacques in English is James. One can see how the French pronunciation of Hennot with more or less silent H and T could sound like the same name that the English speakers would spell Enno or Eno. Jacques was the son of Jean (John) Hennot of London.

    "THE ENO FAMILY-NEW YORK BRANCH" published 1920 by Henry Lane Eno shows several generations of ancestry for James Eno and gives sources in French and English records.

    James is described as a Huguenot by the Windsor Historical Society at https://windsorhistoricalsociety.org/founders-series-james-eno-huguenot-barber-and-religious-rights-advocate/
