* In Burke's Armory, and also Landed country of England, the name is almost uniformly spelt thu; in one place ho spells it Horole, or Holcombe, and remarks in a note, " Hoitcome is compounded of Hell, a Saxon word signifying woody, and cum, or, as written in Deroushire, combre, a valley between two hills." The Windsor Holcombwy, coming from the W. of Eng., would naturally have retained the final e ; and there are some families in the Southern States which so spell it [New Jersey Holcombes are from John and Jacob, who came with William Penn alt. 2700. The name in England is pronounced Holcombe, speak- ing the Hol as we say it in the word " Holland. "-W. F. //.]
An extensive Genealogy of the Bolcombes is in preparation by W.M. FREDERIC HOLCOMBE, M.D., of 51 East 25th street, New York city.
