(US GenWeb Archives, Rockbridge Co, VA 1783 Personal Property Tax List, This listing covers the Southwest District of the County, the Northeast District is missing for the year 1783)

Notes: This record listed due to the following Henry Combs; however, according to COONS researcher Robert P. LEWIS, the above was probably a COONS, which probably indicates that the following Henry COMB did not arrive in Rockbridge until after 1782, and/or may himself have been a COON (rather than a Combs).
