14 Aug 1823 Elijah BREEDEN of Monroe Co IN sold land in Shelby Co KY (Shelby Co KY DBT:135). Elijah is not the same who m 3 Feb 1808, Shelby Co, KY, Patty Combs, d/o Andrew Combs, but probably closely related.
Notes: Elijah not found on 1830 Monroe Co IN Census.

Bird Comnes or Camus
1 m 15-20; 1 m 40-50; 2 f 15-20; 1 f 30-40
SE Note: The name was difficult to decipher and probably misspelled by the census taker; however, the entry appears to be for Bird Combs, formerly of Surry Co, NC. Bird Combs is not in the 1830 Surry Co, NC census. His daughter Sarah Combs marries Jesse EAST the following year (1831) in Monroe Co. Joel SEXTON, Alexander CARMIKEL and Archd CARMIKEL are listed with Bird Combs on the same page of this census. The CARMICHAEL family was also from Surry Co. NC.
This census record indicates that Bird and his wife (name unknown and no marriage record as yet located) came to Monroe County with 1 male (b. 1810-1815) and two daughters (b. 1810-1815). It is probable that Martin Bird (b. c1810/11 in North Carolina) who marries Mary FODRILL [or FOLLOWELL] in 1831 in Monroe is the extra male in Bird's 1830 household. Could Martin have been a son of Bird Combs? Per Martin's descendant Chris Combs, he was named Martin Byrd Combs. Since Bird Combs appears to have been born between 1789-1790, he was old enough to have a son born by 1810. Martin Combs is also involved in the purchase of land belonging to Bird Combs per probate records (1842). Martin Combs married secondly Permilia SEXTON in 1836. Martin is in Lawrence Co, IN, by 1850 and in Nodaway Co, MO by 1870.
Relative (possible brother?) Charles Combs of Surry Co, NC, migrates to Monroe Co. by 1837 per land records.
It is believed Bird and Charles are possibly the sons of a William (d. 1800) and Sarah Combs of Surry Co, NC. The Carmichael and East families also migrated from Surry Co, NC to Monroe Co. as did one Peter GRAVES.

Note: This land is in the same township as Combs Lands in Brown and Jackson Co, IN. Winnifred Combs m (1) by 1784, Samuel SUMNER, probably the same who d ca 1787, Montgomery Co, VA; m (2) ca 1796-7, the above Robert HICKS, and they are next found in 1800 in Russell Co, VA; thence by 1807 in Clay Co, KY, that part which became Perry Co, KY in 1820. Winnifred's relationship to William Riley Combs remains unknown. Surrounding sections still need to be checked.
