Research notes for Lydia (see Allen 7 & Holbrook 13)
She is briefly mentioned in the Vinton book as having married first Samuel Holbrook (as his second wife) and second Joseph Allen, both of whom are covered in the book. No further information is provided about Lydia.
There is a memorial for her on find-a-grave and she is linked to those two men as her husbands. It gives her maiden name as Ford.
I have only linked her to Samuel as she was the ancestor of Priscilla from that marriage, not the other. Her second husband was also Priscilla’s ancestor but by his first wife, Ruth Leeds.

Research notes for Samuel (Spouse 1)
There is a record of a son of Samuel Holbrook by wife Mary born in 1675. The assumption is the father was this Samuel and that he had been married previous to his marriage to Lydia as there is no evidence of any other Samuel Holbrook in that time and place.
