Eldest son of Deacon Elisha Holbrook. Of Wellfleet, then of Plymouth by 1790; shipowner. "Eliphalet Holbrook of Wellfleet... Yeoman" was made guardian of his youngest half-brother Jeremiah in June 1779.

At Plymouth he and Gideon Holbrook, "both of Plymouth... Mariner[s]," sold "our Dwelling house" at Monument Ponds to Caleb Bartlett on 20 Nov 1795, and he, Gideon and Jesse Harlow co-owned a Plymouth schooner in 1803-1804. That partnership is part of the case that Gideon was his brother.

Father of the other Plymouth Gideon Holbrook (1786-1868), mariner, who married Elizabeth (Betsey) Howland in 1808. Davis (1899) pushes his name up a generation, making an "Eliphalet 1st" the father of Elisha.
