Research NoteThe dates on the Stamford Familes website don't add up. If Sarah was born 1721, she had James at age 14, and then married John 7 years later, and then married David one year after her marriage to John. I haven't looked into this, but there must be some error in these dates.

Church office records: "Title to lot #85 given to T. Holley from the First Congregational Society of Greenwich, Conn, by deed. Mrs. Etta Morrell c/o Frank Holly, Cos Cob owner by inheritence from her father, Theo. Holly." That is on page 85 of a book copied at the church.
Obituary17 September 190917 September 1909, Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut, Greenwich News Obituary:. "Theodore Holly, aged 87 years, died at his home in North Cos Cob on Tuerday. The funeral was held from the late residence yesterday afternoon. Interment was in the cemetery at Sound Beach."
Burial Plot1909This is the Holly family plot at the First Congregational Church, Sound Beach Avenue, Old Greenwich, CT. This is the plot of Theodore Holly, the brother of William Henry Holly, and his mother, wife and children and their spouses (about 10 stones).
In 1931, Francis Spies compiled a listing of all the stones in this cemetery, and the only Holly stone listed was that of Eugene, who died young at age 30 in 1891. Therefore, I wonder if all the Holly stones of burials before 1931 were put up after 1931. Eugene's stone is showing serious wear, in contrast to the others. I checked with the church, and they sent me copies of their plot cards, and they do not record when the stones were placed.

Col. Hoyt for the defense moved the complaint be dismissed on the ground that the alleged offense was private and not public. Mr. Hubbard for the State, urged that it was a misdemeanor at common law, there being no statutory penalty for such offences. After a day's argument, the demurrer was overruled and on Tuesday part of the evidence for the State was introduced. The case is on today."

The next issue, 28 Jun, reported "State vs. Susan Hennesey for corrupting a Cos Cob well. Prisoner bound over to the Superior Court for trial."

Note29 January 1913On 29 January 1913, in Port Chester, Westchester County, New York, Diary of Winifred L. Holly Tilley, "Aunt H. went over to Schmalings today. They divided up Aunt Susan's things. My, how quick people grab your few little treasures after you are gone." We think this may refer to Susan Holly Hennessy.

Schmaling's may be a reference to a note in Uncle David's files:
Clinton Schmaling
Ella Wilson Schmaling
Airport in Bedford

I don't know what the note means, but Ella Wilson did marry John G. Schmaling. Ella's parents were Zachary P. Wilson (1851 - 1928) and Ida M. Banks. I don't know if this is any connection to Sarah Wilson, Winifred's great grandmother.

I don't know why Susan Holly would be involved with the Schmalings.10
