Research Notes

The two book sources I have for this person give conflicting parents for her. The Phelps Book^[2] gives Joseph and Mary (Winchell) Holcomb while the Stiles Book^[1] gives Samuel and Mary (Phelps) Winchell.

The familysearch.org IGI record does not list an original source.

The Stiles book does show that Elizabeth, the daughter of Joseph Holcomb and Mary Winchell was born 9 May 1722, but does not list her marriage.^[4].
