Granvillle's daughter Elizabeth STACY married Simon S STACY (s/o of Shadrach "One-Eye" Stacy and Sarah Combs). Her 1927 Laurel Co., Ky. DC lists her father as Granville Combs. Daughter Martha Combs married Nicholas Combs (son of John S. and Celia Combs Combs). Legatee Lucinda may have been Loucinda HOLEFIELD (b c1862), the wife of Thomas in the 1880 Perry Co. census. Lucinda is never shown in the household of Granville. Legatee Crusain (sp?) appears to be Crusoe, son, age 17, of the 1880 census hh of Granville and may be same as Robert, age 8, of the 1870 census. One Crusoe Combs (1858-1/6/1889) is buried with Granville and Alice at the Combs Cemetery at Combs, Ky. (cemetery transcriptions by Helen "Pat" Jones Horne & Jeanette Bowling Whitaker). Minerva Vermillion was the d/o of Alcy. She married first John Vermillion and was widowed by 1900 (enumerated as a servant in the hh of Nicholas Combs) and then she (Manerva Vermillion) married a Nicholas Combs 20 Dec. 1901 (PC-MBG:40). The 1917 Perry Co. DC for Mrs. Manerva J Combs (b May 30 1860) states she was the d/o of Joe DAVIDSON and Elsie DAVIDSON. No further information is available about Abijah.
