"Sarah married 1836 Charles P. Holcombe of Lambertville, N. J. He had been a hotel-keeper in Baltimore, and after his mariage kept a hotel at Bound Brook, N. J., and Jerseyville, Ill., and was 32 years in this business. Their sons were brought up to the same occupation. One son, Charles V., was a clerk in a wholesale dry-goods store in New York when the civil war broke out, and went with the 12th Regiment, of which he was a member, into the field; after the return of his Regiment he became Captain's Clerk on the man-of-war Tuscarora; after the close of the war he went into the hotel business in the West. Another son, Samuel W., enlisted in the 37th N. Y. Regiment, and after the war went into the hotel business in Baltimore. Another son, James P., was clerk at Headquarters of U. S. Army on the Potomac during Gen. Grant's command; after the war, was appointed Post Trader at Fort Schuyler, N. Y. Harbor; resigned this and went into the hotel business at Bound Brook, N. J., and in Illinois after 1869. Another son, Lewis, was in the hotel business nearly all his life. The father Charles P. Holcombe died in Jerseyville, Ill., in 1873, and is buried at Bound Brook, with two of his sons. Only James P. and his mother are now living. (The Op Dyck Genealogy)"
