  • 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)
