SE Notes: Green B Combs is next found in the 1870 Independence Co, AR census. Living next door to him was one Francis N Combs, male, age 30, with wife Martha. Green's 1840 Fentress Co census record shows one young male in the household. Perhaps the above Frances was incorrectly enumerated as a female. Margaret was also with her parents and an apparent son James was living 2 doors away.
