Elizabeth, 4th g. Isaac, 3d g. Isaac, 2d g. William, 1st g.
Elizabeth White married Abram Hollenbeck, of Salisbury, Conn., January 1st, 1796.
Children of Abram Hollenbeck and Elizabeth White:
Abram Hollenbeck was of Dutch ancestry. His father was a farmer of ample means, and owned several slaves, when slavery was permissible in Connecticut. They, like all their race, were fond of music and dancing, and every evening used to dance in the great kitchen of the farm house. Permission was given them, by their master, at Christmas time, to dance until the back log in the fire-place was burned out, so they would prepare one for the occasion, by soaking it in the creek for months before, thereby making their holiday last two or three weeks.
Abram Hollenbeck and family left Connecticut in the spring of 1801, in company with Harmon White and family, who were moving on to Schuyler Co., N. Y. Abram Hollenbeck came to the Town of Eaton, Madison Co., living for a short time in the southern part of the town, and then removed to the vicinity of Morrisville, on Col. Leland's farm, and remained there most of the time until 1836, when they removed to the western part of Michigan, their sons, Morgan and Albert, also being residents of the same place. The locality at that time was very unhealthy, nearly every person being afflicted with ague. Abraham Hollenbeck died on Christmas day, 1838, aged 61 years.
His widow came back to New York soon after his death, and lived in the house which she had formerly occupied, on the Leland farm, until the death of her mother, in 1839, when she took up her abode with her oldest daughter, Mrs Amanda Pearce, in Eaton, at whose home she died March 7th, 1859, at the age of 80 years.
