1830 Monroe Co, GA Census Index

p. 185
William Monroe COMBS

p. 194
William COMBS 1 male 20-30 1 female 15-20

Note: Is this William Combs the same as Wm. A Combs who married Malinda Greer found in the 1850 Noxubee Co, MS Census?

MCNote: This is the only William Combs in the 1830 census whose ages fit those of him and his wife Malinda. I have not found them in the 1840 census in MS which is where they should be. I've also checked AL and GA, but no luck so far.
