Wife of Thomas Holcombe and, from 1658, of James Eno the barber; her maiden name is unknown. She died in October 1679, “bu. the 8th day” (Windsor Old Church Record, as Stiles prints it, source). It was presumably she whom the town fined, through her husband, in 1665 “for selling cider to the Indians.”
