Thurston Genealogies by Brown Thurston, page 73, gives her birth date as March 8, 1807.
Some researchers give the date Mar. 23, 1813, source unknown.

Sister of popular 19th century novelist Joseph Holt Ingraham, author of The Prince of the House of David.

She married April 9, 1836 Darius Blake Holbrook who is buried here.
The cemetery office has no record of her interment here. Some accounts say she died in Germany, so she may be buried there.

Augusta (Georgia)CHRONICAL, Aug. 10, 1889, p.3, says she died in 1876 in New York.

Through both her parents, she was related to numerous well connected families and celebrated New England personalities.
One such distant relative was Elias Ingraham, founder of the famous E. Ingraham Clock Company in Bristol, Connecticut. His grandfather Joseph Ingram was a third cousin of Elizabeth Thurston Ingraham Holbrook's grandfather Joseph Holt Ingraham.

On Jan. 3, 1868, Caroline Holbrook Chandler Du Barry Rebello reportedly moved to Columbus, Indiana, with her mother Mrs. Darius Holbrook and her two young children, established temporary residence and then filed suit for divorce as Caroline H. Rebello versus Charles Rebello, stating that he had compelled her to marry him through duress, fraud and misrepresentation and then immediately deserted her, sailing for South America. The divorce was granted March 26, 1868 and the two ladies and children immediately left Indiana. The Columbus (Ind.) Daily Times, Dec. 18, 1893, page 1, carried the full story which then appeared in newspapers throughout America. Later revived in the Indianapolis News, Aug. 30, 1904, p. 7.

NY EVENING POST Feb. 2, 1880: Mrs. Elizabeth Holbrook executed a deed trust in 1875 to her daughter before leaving on a trip to Germany, where she died.
