Asahel was born in 1720. He is the son of John Holcomb and Ann Pettibone.
Although he was fifty-five years old when British troops fired on Americans at Concord and Lexington, Asahel Holcomb turned out on the first call for troops on the Lexington Alarm and served as a private in the Connecticut militia [D.A.R.

Holcomb-1170 and Holcomb-359 appear to represent the same person because: They are probably the same person. Check the death date, both make him over 100 when he died. Highly unusual
