Per Linda Berney: Dec 1867, Job Combs files for divorce from Olive in Lancaster County, Nebraska (Vital Records from Nebraska State Journal page 1, found at Nebraska State Historical Society - “Combs vs Combs Div. Job Combs of Lan Co. Nebr. Plaintiff vs Olive Combs of Iowa, defendant. Petition filed 23 Nov 1867 in District Ct. Lan Co. Nebr to be answered on or before Dec 16, 1867.”)
There is an entry in the Monroe Co, IA Will Book B index for Olive Combs (Source: USGenweb Monroe Co., IA)
Apparently Job Combs removed to Nebraska with his brother Michael Combs. On 2 May 1868 - Job Combs died (obit by brother Michael in The Christian Record, Vol II - No. 8, August 1868, pages 223-224 - “I have the mournful intelligence to communicate of the death of my dear and only brother, Job Combs, aged sixty-six years, four months, and two days. Departed this life May 2d, 1868” See Family Report for Michael and Job Combs
SE Note: Is this same Job Combs that married Henrietta WILLIAMS in Ripley Co., IN and then found with Michael Combs in Montgomery Co. and Clay Co., IN. Obviously this Job in Monroe Co. and later in Nebraska is the brother of Michael Combs and biographical sketches of Michael Combs state his brother Job was with him in Montgomery Co., IN.

The above directory entry is interesting because it is another reference to Job being born in Tennessee.
