Holcombe. He married Jennie Fay circa 1870. Nathaniel Alanson Holcombe died in 1912. He was buried at New Ohio Cemetery, North Colesville, Broome Co., NY.

N. A. and Jammie were enumerated in the 1880 Colesville, Broome Co., NY, federal census in the household of his father, Homer. He was a farmer age 26, she was 26. Children in the household were Minnie 8, Smith 7, Ora 5, and Anga 2.

Nathaniel and Emma J. were enumerated in the 1900 Colesville, Broome Co., NY, federal census. He was a farmer age 46, she was 46. They had been married 29 years and had 6 children all still living. Children in the household were Eva 13 and Hugh 9.

McPherson suggested another wife and son Edgar but the 1910 census confirms that they had been married 38 years and it was the only marriage for both. Nathaniel died shortly after that. It seems logical that following Nathaniel's death that Jennie married a Hayes and on her death was buried witih Nathaniel and Minnie.
