Notes: Sarah COMBS(daughter of RW John "8" COMBS) married (1) 02 Dec 1810 Lincoln Co., KY, James HUNDLEY; (2) Claiborne COMBS (son of George & Lydia HARRELL Combs). Combs Researcher Glenda J. Flaugher adds: The 1911 Owsley Co., KY death certificate of their daughter, Artemisia, states that her father was Claiborn COMBS, born North Carolina, and her mother, Sarah COMBS, born North Carolina. That Sarah was neè COMBS is further confirmed by oral family history from my g-grandmother, the daughter of James Slaughter COMBS and Mary Cathrine HANDY Combs. From what my g-grandmother said, Artemisia was a "fallen woman." She had two children out of wedlock, and both sons were supposed to have had different fathers. Most of the information that she could recall had come from the family bible which unfortunately has been lost in the family. She also stated that since Artemisia was not married, her parents took her two sons and raised them. They were James Slaughter COMBS, born 10-29-1846, Owsley Co., KY, died 7/14/1935, Pebworth, Owsley Co., KY, & John Dishman COMBS. My g-grandmother gave my mother the following information on Claiborne and Family: Claiborne COMBS b. 1804 N.C., d. 1885 Owsley Co., KY; married in 1826 to Sarah 'Sally' HUNDLEY born 1798 N.C., died 1880 Owsley Co., KY. She could not remember Sallie's parents' names. All indications are, however, that Sally COMBS was the widow of James HUNDLEY when she married Claiborne COMBS, which would make her the daughter of RW Soldier John COMBSMy g-grandmother also stated that her father, James Slaughter COMBS, had fought in the Civil War with his Uncle COMBS. They were both supposed to be in the same unit. I have the Pension records for James Slaughter COMBS, and the roster for the 14th Ky. Cavalry Volunteers. The list shows James Slaughter COMBS and Tinsley COMBS both in Comp. 'E'.

Note: The 2^nd transcription above is by Combs Researcher Tim Spence, who notes: In 1870 Jesse THOMAS has apparently died or married another for he is not listed with the family. All others are still living with Martha and one more child William H. 8. In the 1880 Owsley Co. Ky. census I found Jesse and Martha COMBS Thomas' son, John, married to an Emily SHOUSE their children were Martha 2, and Harden 1/12. Could Harden THOMAS, son of John and Emily SHOUSE Thomas, have been named after his grandfather? Could Martha COMBS Thomas have been the daughter of Hardin COMBS, Sr.?

Notes: Mary Louisa COMBS, daughter of Hardin and Nancy COMBS Combs, Sr., married Robert WHITE 10 Feb 1856 Owsley Co., KY (VS). Sally Ann is probably her younger sister (1850 Owsley KY Census).
