WHITCOMB
An unsigned paper entitled "Lancaster Whitcombs" and written in a hand not Mr. Smith's has these statements which differ from the foregoing or have not been given.
John Whitcomb1 came to Lancaster 1652.
John Whitcomb2 drowned April 7. 1683.
Job Whitcomb2 m. May 19. 1669 in Lancaster Mary.
Hannah Whitcomb, wife of Jonathan2, was slain by the Indians July 18, 1692, being then, it is supposed, in the Peter Joslin family. Peter Joslin's wife and children were killed on the same date. "Hannah could not have been a Joslin, I think. Certainly no such daughter of Thomas Joslin is named. There was no Hannah Waters. There was a Hannah Lewis (born 1649) a near neighbor to the Whitcombs, and I have thought she might be Jonathan's Hannah, but have no proof of it."
