    Combs, Thomas 30010-00100-00
    (Transcribed by Debi Kendricks)

    CH Notes: The above Thomas Combs, apparently the same with the 180 acres on Big Barren River, has not yet been identified. Jacob HARLAN married Sarah "Sally" Combs in 1798, and Aaron HARLAN married Nancy Combs in 1800, both marriages in Lincoln Co., KY, and both brides daughters of the above-noted Stephen & Barbara ALLEN Combs. One of the above James REEDS is said to have married another sister, Elizabeth Combs (Not documented, source unknown). Joseph ALLIN has been included above because Claytor Combs, another son of Stephen & Barbara ALLEN Combs, is said to have named a son, Joseph ALLEN. Jesse SOUTHER is included due to the 1800 Wilkes Co., NC marriage of one Jesse SOUTHER to a Jain (a.k.a. Jane, Jean) Combs. See also Jackson, TN and Monroe Co., KY (est. in 1820) indicating that Combs was deceased by 1813, leaving a "Widow Combs" on that creek, as well as the census and notes by Natalie McClendon below.

    NOTE: You may wish to check the archives for discussion on whether this is John McCombs or Combs as it is difficult to read, but ultimately it was decided to be McCombs. John McCombs is in the 1820 Census in Barren Co., KY below.

    1810 Barren Co., KY census by Natalie McClendon, from electronic images, Ancestry.com NOTE: The names selected are an attempt to sort out the various (future) Combs neighbors, and the Read/Read families in the county. Cuthbert Hardin was the s/o William Hardin & Clarissa Million of Stafford Co, VA, who had close ties to the Combs there. Stephen Combs & Barbara Allen's children are also listed here, with Reed and Harlan in-laws. Comparing this information to the tax lists that show what watercourse people lived on can help separate families, particularly the Reeds. The Shirley adn Dales, plus others, were members of the Chopawamsic Baptist Churhc in Stafford Co, VA in the 1700s, and founding members of the Drippings Springs Baptist Church in Barren Co, KY.

    21 Dec 1818 Guardian Bonds extracted by Natalie McClendon from Guardian Bonds, Barren Co, KY 1809 through 1858 by Sandra K. Laughery Gorin: Combs, Benj: Orphan of _____ (no name) decd. G&P James Joliff. Sur: William Hall. 21 Dec 1818.

    NM Note: Benjamin Combs appears in various Barren Co records, and was probably about 20 years old in 1818. Why would they bother to set up this guardianship for a 20-year-old? Does this mean he has property to be managed? His presumed brother John L. Combs appears in the Barren Co., KY, tax lists, Joliff's district, beginning in 1817 with 100 acres of land. Does the fact that they didn't fill in a parent's name suggest the "adults" weren't acquainted with the parents, that is, the two young men, Benjamin and John, came to Barren Co without their parents? At least this record tells me I'm looking for parents who were not alive after 1818 (or at least the father).

    RALSTON, Matthew (Not transcribed)

    Notes: Neither John nor Thomas Combs has been identified. George & Samuel MURRELL are included due to the Combs Connections with the MURRELLS in Hawkins & Sullivan Cos, TN. Matthew RALSTON [a.k.a. ROULSTONE] is included because one Matthew ROULSTONE was the surveyor for land in Jackson Co., TN acquired by Martin & Sarah Combs Johnson of NC & Hawkins Co, TN (they married ca 1797, probably in Hawkins Co, TN) & Warren Co., TN, and Martin JOHNSON (ca 1777-1851) was the step-son of Rev. Thomas MURRELL of Hawkins & Dickson Co., TN.
