Noxubee Co, MS Births & Deaths

Transcribed by Combs Researcher Cherry May from a hand-written page of old Birth/Death records which was among her great grandmother's papers when she died at age 90 in 1955 (b 1865). The births and deaths are of her grandparents' family:

1850 Noxubee Co, Census MS

(Transcribed by Combs Researcher Cherry May)

(p 237). [CM: Bracketed info is mine]

692/692 William A Combs 41 b GA
Malinda [GREER] 39 b GA
Thomas [A] 19 b GA
Mary [Greer] 16 b GA
William H 14 b GA
Martha [J] 12 b MS

Ed Note: A John L. Combs is also indexed in 1850 Noxubee Co, MS census on p. 235.

CM Notes: Based on the above, the family appears to have moved from GA to MS between Nov 1836 and Nov 1838; however, I have been unable to locate them in the 1840 census in MS, although it appears this is where they were at the time. I have this family and the children's families in the 1860, 1870, 1880 and 1900 censuses in Noxubee and Smith Counties, MS. I also think that the William Combs in the 1830 Monroe Co, GA census (p 194) was probably my Wm A Combs.

William Combs 1 male 20-30 1 female 15-20

This is the only William Combs in the 1830 census whose ages fit those of him and his wife Malinda. I have not found them in the 1840 census in MS which is where they should be. I've also checked AL and GA, but no luck so far.
