Morgan County was established in 1833 from Cooper Co MO. Part of southern Morgan may have been moved into the old “Kinderhook” County, organized in 1841 from Benton, Pulaski and non-county land. Kinderhook's name was changed to Camden in 1843. In 1845 Moniteau Co was organized from Cole and Morgan, and in 1860 Miller gained from Morgan. Additional surrounding counties include Pettis and Benton. Note: See also add'l data in re Pettis Co, MO below.

NMc Notes: If John J. Combs listed above is not the John J. Combs who is the ancestor of Judith Oldham who has posted information about him on the Morgan Co page and has her lineage on a personal website. The birthdates and places seem to match. I have tried to make contact with Judith Oldham with no success. My interest is in the Barren Co, KY to Morgan Co, MO connection. Still looking for information on John L. Combs who made the same migration, (b. about 1796 VA) to Richland Twp about 1836. Judith Oldham places all the Combs who married in Morgan Co, MO around 1840 (Levi, Fanton, Thomas, Sophony), plus a John W. Combs (presumed father of John J. b. 1845) as children of Stephen Combs and Synthey Wright. Can't figure out where/why that connection was made. Evidence suggests at least Levi and Fanton are children of John L. Combs of Barren Co, KY and Morgan/Pettis Co, MO (Natalie McClendon)

Notes: Hugh B. Combs and Lucinda are found in the 1870 Morgan Co, MO census.
MB Note: Hugh Combs is the son of Elijah Combs (son of Thomas Combs of Allen/Barren/Monroe Co, KY). His middle name is Brown I believe. Elijah Combs is found in Morgan Co, MO also along with his brother William Combs. My great grandfather Samuel Combs is found in 1870 in Camden Co, MO. It appears the Combs of Camden and Morgan counties are the relatives of Thomas Combs as mentioned in his deed/will of 1860.
