Note: The above are the only IGI entries for Combs of Shebbear, Devonshire. The above Radigan/Rodygun is of particular interest due to the (1) the marriage of a Rodygun COOME to Steven COLLEN in Plympton St. Mary, Devon; and (2) the birth of a Redigan COMBE, d/o George COMBE, in 1622 in North Petherton, Somersetshire.

See also the excellent Redigan Surname research report provided by German Researcher Juergen Redigan in our Combs &c. List Archives, Year: 1998 (Query: Juergen and Redigan). See also additional(?) Combs-Palmer marriages among both the Archdale-Combs Families and the Combs families of Warwickshire and Middlesex.
