This identifies the Pollock farmer as Capt. Richard Blackmer Holbrook Jr.: his own birthday
(16 Sept), his birthplace, his mother’s birthplace, and her name given as “Phillips”, the same
mistake he made himself on his 1900 marriage return (“Hattie Phillips”;
marriage-return-holbrook-clifford-1900). Harriet Phillips Low was born at Deer Isle, Maine; his
father, born at Plymouth, Massachusetts, is given as born in Maine.
