Me, me, me! Don't lose me, MrBill! mjcmartin (at) optusnet (dot) com (dot) au The only reason I listed George S. Holcombe in Holcombe-Riverview Cemetery on Find A Grave was that I'd taken a photo of his memorial. One of my great-aunts (Catherine Reid Holcombe, Lambertville town nurse) was married to a Holcombe, so I walked the cemetery photographing all Holcombes in order to help myself piece her husband's immediate family together. I don't have any other information on George S. Holcombe. I can tell you who he's buried with (in the same plot), but I don't know the relationships of these people to each other so I couldn't link them via Find A Grave: Edna F Holcombe 1881-1926 Marvin J Holcombe 1879-1949 Sarah F Holcombe 1855-1925 Regards, Mary Jo Mary Jo C.

Holcombe, Lambertville The Hunterdon Republican gives a very short obit for "George S. Holcombe," b. 1852; d. 10 May 1896. He was listed in the "Findagrave.com" by Mary Jo C. Martin, whose email I must have lost during my computer's crash a year or so ago! I was unable to positively identify him in any Census Record, but he was listed as having been married, in the NJ Death Index. Does anyone have the name of his wife and/or children, so I can add it to the abstracts of the Hunterdon Republican newspaper? He was also noted to have been a "Merch'T" - Merchant? in the New Jersey Death Index; any information on what kind of merchant?

Bingo, Mary Jo, That Sarah F. has to be the wife of George S. And the other two must be their children. Or a son and his wife. The censuses should established that. (Too busy to look them up.)

Sarah F. Holcombe's mother, Martha R. Fisher Johnson, is buried in Amwell Ridge Cemetery, Ringoes, according to Find A Grave. There's no indication of who her spouse might have been. In the 1860 US census for Delaware, Hunterdon, New Jersey, I found the following household: Name Age James J Fisher 75 (farmer) Chas Johnson 28 (farmer) Martha Johnson 26 Sarah Johnson 4 Fisher Johnson 3 John Walker 16 (laborer) James W Naylor 13 Emma P Chedister 18 (servant) All were born in NJ. There are other Fishers either side of them. There is a Charles Johnson buried at Amwell Ridge Cemetery, but without further research I cannot be sure that this is Martha's husband and Sarah's father. James J. Fisher was buried at Amwell Ridge Cemetery. Fisher Johnson was buried at Mount Hope, Lambertville. Richard L. Godown of Caledonia, New York, in his website Godown Family History, http://thegodowns.com/d8/i0014997.htm , names George S. Holcombe's parents as Andrew W. Holcombe and Sarah Sheppard. Andrew was buried at Second English Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Amwell. Sarah's burial place is unknown. Regards, Mary Jo C.
