McPherson says Benoni took the name Ben Holcombe when he was adopted as an orphan by Jesse S. Holcombe (A-8-1-2-9-6-7-1); which seems unusual because Jesse had a son named Benoni himself.


Benoni and Mable Holcomb were enumerated in the 1920 Pine River, Gratiot Co., MI, federal census, ED 30, in the household of his father-in-law C. L. Van Norwich. He was a mechanic in a sugar factory, age 27; she was 22. Their only child was Forrest 3.
