GEORGE has departed this life since the institution of this suit, it is ordered that this suit abates to him, James C. DAVIDSON and Robert W.

SE Notes: I saw no other COMBS in these early court records. The GEORGE family in Tazewell Co. were desc./relatives of one William and Jane GEORGE who lived in Russell Co. or Lee Co. (can't remember which, maybe both) at one time. Wm and Jane died in Tazewell. I think it is possible that this William GEORGE was related to Nicholas GEORGE family whose daughter, Wilmouth GEORGE, m Henry HARDING, and their daughter, Nancy HARDING, m John COMBS (s/o Mason COMBS, Sr., and "father of the eight").

(Combs Researcher Robert Bradford who adds: Although Shadrach's ancestry has not yet been documented, he is believed to have been the s/o John & Rebecca Combs, with whom he appears to have moved from somewhere in VA to Morgan Co KY ca 1842-1844. Following the death of Shadrach ca 1865 in Morgan Co KY, Elizabeth returned to Tazewell where she is found on the 1870 Census (Combs Researcher Jackie Combs, record not yet transcribed).
