Levi Holcombe1

b. 19 July 1767, d. 17 January 1831
     Levi Holcombe was born on 19 July 1767 at Granby, Hartford Co., CT.2,3 He was the son of Joseph Holcombe and Elizabeth Wilcox.4 Levi Holcombe married Martha Benjamin in May 1797 at Village of North Granby, Granby, Hartford Co., CT. Levi Holcombe died on 17 January 1831 at Village of North Granby, Granby, Hartford Co., CT, at age 63; of erysipalus.2,5 He was buried at Granby Center Cemetery, Granby, Hartford Co., CT.5

There were three men named Levi Holcomb born around the same time and the genealogies have them confused. The First Congregational Church records refer to Levi Holcomb 1st, Levi Holcomb 2nd and sometimes just Levi Holcomb. The same is true in Granby Town Records. Unfortunately, there is no consistency. 5

The other two are Levi, son of Ezra and Phoebe Gillet Holcomb, and Levi, son of David and Elizabeth Griffin Holcomb.

Levi's wife Martha, is also attributed to Levi's cousin of the same name, son of Amos and Mary Dibble Holcombe.

Levi Benjamin Holcombe is sometimes attributed to Levi (1767-1831) but is not mentioned by McPherson.

Levi's death is documented in the Connecticut Church Record Abstracts , Vol. 41, Granby, page 77.

An 1802 deed from Joseph Holcomb to Isaac Godard (his son-in-law) mentioned “land opposite my dwelling house, land held in common with Levi Holcomb.” Relationships not mentioned in the deed. A later deed sells the rest of this land from Joseph Holcomb and Isaac Godard to Levi Holcomb, again, relationships not mentioned.

Mehitable Winchell

b. 6 June 1777, d. 14 April 1854
     Mehitable Winchell was born on 6 June 1777. She was the daughter of David Winchell and Elizabeth Filley. Mehitable Winchell married Jesse Holcombe, son of Amos Holcombe and Mary Dibble, in 1796. Mehitable Winchell died on 14 April 1854 at Isle La Motte, Grand Isle Co., VT, at age 76. She was buried at North Cemetery, Isle La Motte, Grand Isle Co., VT.1 Reported to be a grand-niece of Gov Winchell of CT. Allen L. Stratton, on page 338 of History of the Town of Isle la Motte, Vermont, states that Mehitable was the daughter of David and Mary (Griffin) Winchell of Wethersfield, CT.

Though Mehitable may have been related to Govenor Winchell of CT, this account of her parents is most likely incorrect.

First, David Winchell did not marry (2) Mary Griffin. She married (1) Samuel Wilson, (2) Anthony Hoskins. All of David's offspring are of (1) Elizabeth Filley. Mrs. Albert H. Chase, in her article "David Winchell (Robert1) of Suffield, Conn.," TAG 24:1, pp49-50, provides the evidence needed to remove this claim and state that "David Winchell had but one wife, elizabeth Filley, whom he married 17 November 1669, the mother of his children." (Source: Stephen M. Lawson).

Second, this David died in 1723.

This was a four-mile walk from the farm. When she was 14 she spent her summer vacation working 48 hours per week in a silk mill. She spent the following two summers working 60 hours per week in a weaving mill. She moved to California in 1912. She attended business school at night and when she was 20 she got a job in a doctor's office and worked there for three years as his private secretary. She worked at McConnell Douglas as a riveter during World War II. In her later life, she enjoyed jigsaw puzzles and the Rebecca's Lodge. When interviewed in 1979, she said that of any age, she would have liked to have been 20 again. It was at this age that she most enjoyed life, being free from her mother's apron strings.
