• Notes

  He was a weaver. He lived in Dorchester, was one of the original settlers of Huntington and Oyster Bay, Long Island, and finally moved to Milford. Robert J. Dunkle (citation details below) refers to him as "Richard2 Holbrook", son of "Richard1", which must be an error; we know of no evidence for the name of his father.
