Footnote 2. Pages 8-9. No record
of a 1621 Abraham COMBS in Colonial
Virginia has been located as yet. No Abraham
COMBS is found on the 1623/4 Elizabeth City musters, nor elsewhere in Virginia
until 1662 in Old Rappahannock Co, VA where is found one Abraham
COMBS who was later of St. Mary's Co, MD, and a probable relative of
Archdale
COMBS I of Old Rappa.

Footnote 3. Page 9. References
to "Jamestown John" are to the John COOMBES of the Ship Marigold
in 1619/1620, whom Dr. Combs believed (mistakenly) to have been the son
of John
& Margaret ARCHDALE Combs who m 11 Dec 1587, St. Antholin Budge
Row, London, and the father of Archdale
COMBS I of Old Rappa Co, VA. It is now known that their son, John,
baptised 16 Aug 1602, St. Mary the Virgin Aldermanbury, London, attended
Oxford University from 1619-1622, thus could not have been "Jamestown John"
of the Ship Marigolde. It is also now known, however, that John
COMBS, h/o Margaret ARCHDALE, owned shares in the Virginia Company as early
as 1608 (See Earliest
Combs to Virginia for most references to same in this Chapter). Moreover,
not only was John, s/o John and Margaret ARCHDALE Combs, not "Jamestown
John," neither did he marry a Margaret (or Peggy). Instead, he married
8 Jul 1630, Soulbury, Buckinghamshire, England, Elizabeth LOVETT, d/o Robert
& Anne SAUNDERS Lovett. John and Elizabeth's son, Archdale, b ca
1641, Soulbury, Bucks,
may have been the same as Archdale COMBS
I of Old Rappa Co, VA (research in progress). No evidence has been found
as yet that John COMBS of Isle
of Wight Co, VA in the1670s and 1680s was kin to either Archdale COMBS
I of Old Rappa or John COMBS of Jamestown (research in progress).

Footnote 4. Page 10. No evidence
has been found of more than a single John & Margaret ARCHDALE Combs
marriage - that of 1587 in St. Antholin Budge Row, London. Nor has evidence
been located that John COMBS of Jamestown (1619-1620) married a Margaret
or Peggy, whether ARCHDALE or otherwise. No Margaret ARCHDALE as a niece
of Archdale COMBS (1606-) has been found as yet, although he did have a
niece Margaret COMBS, s/o his brother, John COMBS and his wife, Elizabeth
LOVETT. See Also Footnote 3 above.

Footnote 5. Page 11. As noted in
Footnote 3 above, John COMBS, s/o John & Margaret ARCHDALE Combs, was
not John of Jamestown in 1619/20. We continue to seek records for Richard
COMBE of Combe Manor, Devonshire
(d 1619), and his sons. John COMBS, h/o Margaret ARCHDALE, definitely had
Devonshire connections, but insufficient records have been collected at
this time to connect him with the above Richard.

Footnote 6. Page 12. No will has
been found as yet for Archdale COMBS (b 1606, s/o John & Margaret ARCHDALE
Combs) who was deceased by 1652, not 1654; however, an Oxfordshire
estate record in 1652 mentions his niece, Margaret COMBE, d/o John
& Elizabeth LOVETT Combs.
