Martha Combe, John Combe, and Moses Combe were the children of John Comb of Philadelphia, a hatter.
John and Moses were indian traders in Chester Co. PA. Martha was married to Peter BEZAILLION who was also an indian trader in that area. They all owned land in that shows up in Lancaster Co. Deeds. John, Martha and Peter have tombstones in the churchyard adjoining St. John's Church in Pequea town of Compass. John died Sept. 12, 1736 aged 78 years. Moses died about the same time no indication where he is buried. Martha died in 1764 at the age of 73, hard to read from tombstone picture, 3 is in question. John Combe had two children noted in the documents Martha and John. Moses left land to his niece and nephew but by the time the patent on the land was obtained in 1728 Martha the niece had died, at that time the nephew John was a minor. Nothing more is known about nephew John from my information. This is from Minutes of the Provincial Council of Pa Vol. V., and Lancaster Historical Society documents. John Comb was listed as an English Inhabitant of Conestoga Twn. in 1718.
Jane McCann Walsh Note: Based on this I'm less inclined to suspect a relationship between Samuel the Quaker emigrant and John the Hatter of Philadelphia although given the early location of John on the frontier in Chester (the part which later became Lancaster) it is feasible that there is a connection to our earliest Joseph but I don't see this as being as probable/plausible as Samuel the Quaker.
