Note: there is a possibility that this Samuel Holbrook is the one listed as Memorial ID 92010656. He lived 1777-1849 which would coincide with his not being listed qith Elizabeth in 1850 and 1860 census. His (1st) wife, Hannah, died in 1820. As he was born in Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, the same county and state that Elizabeth was from, there is a possibility of a long friendship.
