“Apparently, there has always been a close alliance between the Holbrook and Tylye families. As early as 1379, we find record of a William Holbrook, who made a William Tylye of Glastonbury Abbey, his heir. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries there were numerous Holbrook-Tylye marriages, including that of Elizabeth Holbrook the sister of our American progenitor, who married William Tylye at the Church of Saint John the Baptist, Glastonbury in the year 1611.”345
