Helen (twin), age 18, female, born VA

KR Notes: The above Sarah is the wife of William COMBS who died in 1840. Elisha, George, John, William, Mariah, & Mahala (possibly same person as Harriet) were also children of William and Sarah. A relative gave me this information from the "The New World Book of Combs" (I know these books aren't that reliable) Property was settled for William in Illinois (#6855), Indiana (#B5802) and Ohio(#1390)." KR: Seeking key to numbered items and Perry Co, OH cemetery transcriptions.

KR Note: Matthew COMBS married Margaret STONEBURNER on March 6, 1853 in Muskegum County, OH. They moved to Putnam County, Ohio in ? and are buried there. See Putnam County Records for Census, Cemetery Transcriptions and Death Certificates. In Matthew Combs death certificate it states that he was born in OH. His children's death certificates also show their father Matthew as being born in OH. I believe that the 1850 Perry county Census that shows Matthew and his siblings being born in VA is wrong. Probably all of the children listed with Sarah Combs were born in Ohio.

Also Note: Isaiah Coomes in 1887 Directory Of Jasper County, Iowa: Mound Prairie Township, that also states POB is Licking Co, Ohio. Could this be him?


29 Nov 1851 (Perry Co OH Wills) James COMBS, dated 11-4-1851 proved 11-29-1851. Wife, Mary. Children: Lewis, George, Levi, John, Thomas, Wm. Henry, Charles, Rebecca, Elenora and Christena Catherine.
