Notes: According to the William Franklin Coombs Manuscript, Jonah Combs, son of Samuel & Mary WILKES Combs of Loudoun Co., VA and Nelson Co., KY, married (1) a "Miss GARNETT" and (2) 5 Jul 1800, Catherine GATEWOOD (neè WEBB) in Jessamine Co., KY. Not known if this is the same Jonah Combs, although the presence of his brothers Jesse and Asa Combs in the county at about the same time would tend to lend credence to the possibility (see court case of 30 Sep 1825 in Hardin Co., KY listing Jonah's brothers and sisters). Jonah is found in Henry Co., KY by 1810. Their relationship to Stephen Combs below, if any, also of Loudoun Co., VA, remains unknown.

LG Notes: In all other listings "Effa" is shown as Hetha or Hethie. It is believed that she was actually Hetha/Hethie (Esther? Easter? Beheathland?) Combs, b ca1795, and that she was the daughter of Stephen & Barbara ALLEN Combs. She was the 2nd wife of Danielf F. (Fuquay) McKINNEY, and they are found in Wayne Co., KY in 1820 through 1825 tax records. In 1827, they moved to Pulaski Co., KY. In 1836-1848, they are found in Logan Co IL where Daniel died in 1848-9. Hetha Combs McKinney died aft 1860. Known children of Hetha and Daniel are Abraham McKINNEY, b ca1822, m Rebecca (BROOKS?) and William McKINNEY, b ca1824, m Permalia BIRKS (a.k.a. BURK?). Census records indicate Hetha and Daniel had four daughters, but their names are not known. Daniel F.

Notes: Not found on any available 1820 Census Index
08 Jan 1820 (Franklin Co KY Marriage Records) YANCY, William & Combs, Susan (Marriage CD- record still needed)

Notes: Susan(na) Combs was apparently the d/o of James Combs and his first wife Ann MARYMAN Hendley (d/o of Joseph MARYMAN of St. Mary's Co., Md.). She and her sister Elizabeth O'BRIEN (wife of Augustine O'BRIEN) are not included in their father's 1820 census household. William YANCY is found in the 1820 Scott Co., Ky. census and the 1830 Woodord Co., Ky. census. He and Susan migrated to Ralls Co., Mo, where they are found as neighbors of the O'BRIENS in the 1850 and 1860 census.

SE NOTES: James Combs (1772-1852) of St. Mary's Co., Md. and Scott Co., Ky., son of Philip Combs and Margaret FENWICK. The columns were not very clearly defined and it was difficult to get an accurate reading. Anyone interested in this James should recheck the original. The ages of the children fit the family group for James Combs of Scott Co., Ky., and his second wife Matilda SMITH (d/o of James SMITH). His two (2) eldest daughters (Elizabeth and Susanna) by his first wife Ann MARYMAN Hendley (d/o of Jospeh MARYMAN) have married and are no longer living at home. James and Matilda married 29 Sept. 1806 in Washington Co., Ky. James is previously in the 1810 Scott Co., Ky. census and returns to the same in 1830. St. Mary's Co., Md., Orphans Court records document that James Combs of Scott Co., Ky., and his wife Ann had two daughters named Elizabeth and Susanna. See records in St. Mary's Co., Md., and Scott Co., Ky., for more information about James Combs, his three wives, and his family. Neighboring Gustavus OBRIANT (aka O'Brien) appears to be the same as Augustine O'BRIEN who married one Elizabeth Combs, apparent d/o of James Combs and his first wife Ann. Elizabeth married Augustine OBrien prior to 1820 in Ky. They later removed to Ralls Co., Mo., where they are found with Elizabeth's sister Susan Combs and her husband William Yancy.
