What is now the state of Iowa was formed from Missouri Territory in 1816, and designated Howard County. When MO was admitted as a state in 1821, Iowa became again "unorganized territory." In 1834, it became part of Michigan Territory, with the counties of Dubuque (Northern IA) and Des Moines (Southern IA) established. In 1836, further "splits" took place, with Wisconsin Territory formed, and a territorial census was taken that year that included both Dubuque and Des Moines.
No Combs were listed in Dubuque; however, two were found in Des Moines.
