Goals

  • Determine the “genetic profile” for this branch of COMBS.
  • Identify the “lineage genetic profile” for which this branch of COMBS can be traced back further.
  • Specifically, verify the profile of George as agreeing with that of the “lineage genetic profile” established for the “brothers 8” of Gen 1 John COMBS.
  • Determine if this also matches a “lineage genetic profile” for the John COMBS, son of Archdale COMBS of Stafford Co. and Old Rappahannock Co, VA.
  • Note: Documented Thoroughly for Gen's 1-6 from family knowledge, census, birth & death records, marriage records, Civil War military and pension records. GW Morgan records -- wills etc. posted on the Combs-Coombs &c website. Research for Gen's 7-8 from the Combs-Coombs amp;c website. The Morgan connection has helped in understanding this COMBS lineage.
    I would like to trace Eliza Combs past the 9/10/1858 document conveying her interest in the property of her mother Lydia Combs, and to determine if her second husband is Samuel “Black Sam” Combs, or if “Black Sam” is the Samuel Combs in the 1860 census married to Elizabeth Combs. I would also like to find this second Samuel Combs in the 1850 census to distinguish his family from the one that is my line.
