Search Words: BONNING DRIVER DANSON ELLIOTT HARMON THOMPSON FOSTER RIDDLE FRANCISBesse COMES (a.k.a. Elizabeth?) has not yet been identified, but is possibly tied to the Combs-FOSTER family below. Also of interest in the above will is the mention of Joan BURTON, due to both (1) the marriage, prior to 1656, of GEORGE Combs to Ann BURTON, d/o Richard of England and the Virginia Colony; (2) the reference by William UNDERWOOD, Sr. (c1648-1717) of Old Rappahannock Co VA, but then at school in England, to his uncle Edward BURTON of Kidderminster, Co Worcester. (See Burton-Combs Connections) Were MASSON & MASON interchangeable? See also Capt. John MASON, Sir Ferdinando GORGES, Thomas CAMMOCK and Isaac ALLERTON of the New England Company. William UNDERWOOD, Sr. was s/o Col. Wm. & Mary (BURTON? MOSELEY?) Underwood, the former having married next Elizabeth, a widow UNDERWOOD, who after the Col.'s death, m next Archdale Combs of Old Rappahannock Co VA whose son, John Combs of Richmond VA, may have married a MASON who was d/o a BURTON/MASON.
