"John Holbrook, son of William Holbrook, of Glasstonbury, Somersetshire, England was born circa 1595. He married his wife Sarah in England. It is presumed John and Sarah emigrated from England to America prior to 1625. The Holbrooks fourth child was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts in 1627. "He [John] was in Dorchester, Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635 and in 1640 he was made a freeman there ... [He] settled in that part of Weymouth known as "Old Spain"--Page 9. Sarah Holbrook " ... died in Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony, November 14, 1643"--Page 9. John "died probably before 1644."--P. 9. Descendants lived in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Ohio, California, New Jersey and elsewhere
