Important! Due to the New Series of Combs Research Family Research Reports prepared for East Kentucky Combs Families (see above), we are in the midst of adding both records and annotations to numerous of our Kentucky Combs Counties, particularly Perry and it's predecessors, Clay and Floyd. The result is that conflicts may be found in the annotations. Please let the webmaster know of any corrections.
See also the Dickey Diary Interviews.(Extracted by Combs Researcher Martin G. H. Combs from The Tax List: Floyd County, Ky - State Auditor's Land Records: Return of certificate for vacant lands granted settlers in Floyd County, compiled by W.R. Jillson.
Notes: Nicholas Combs, Sr., one of the "8" (early brothers to East Kentucky), born before 1756, Virginia; died after 1855, Perry Co., KY; married before 1773, Nancy GRIGSBY (relationship to William unknown), born ca 1754, Virginia, died Jan 1850, Perry Co., KY. Nicholas was on the 1796 and 1797 tax lists of Sullivan Co., TN, where RW William & Mary EVERAGE Cornett married in Apr 1796. In 1812 he is still listed in Sullivan Co, TN, but as a non-resident landowner. The above land on Lott's Creek became part of Clay Co., KY in 1806-7, and Perry Co., KY in 1820-1.SE Notes: Others on this list include: James BROWN (2), Abraham CHILDERS, Simon STACY, John SUMNER (son of Samuel & Winnifred Combs Sumner?), Enoch & William HARRELL, John HATCHER, Thomas JOHNSON (& 10 more), John KELLY (2), Edward POLLEY.
Also note: that according to The Combes Genealogy, the above John Combs was the same who died 1820, Floyd Co., KY, father of the "8," that he "settled at the mouth of White Oak, a small creek that runs into Carr's Fork, about eleven miles above Hazard [present-day Perry Co, KY]..." and that this is according to "the testimony of Jesse Combs... that this is where old John settled," adding that "Jesse was his grandson, twenty two years old when the old man died, and must have known where all his uncles and his grandfather settled." (The reference is to Jesse Combs, born 1798, son of Elijah, Sr. We are seeking an original source for Jesse's statements; i.e., oral or written family history, perhaps through his daughter, Susan Combs Eversole (born 1857, d ????)). In reference the land, see also 1822 Perry Co., KY records, and note that Dr. Combs states that this is not the same White's Creek as that granted William Combs in in 1797 in Lincoln Co., KY. The Combes Genealogy also states that the above Jeremiah was Jeremiah L. "Long" Combs, Sr., son of John Combs {III]. Two Jeremiah Combs are on the 1809 Clay Co., KY Tax list, only one on the 1810 tax list; but both on the 1810 Clay Co., KY Census. One was "Chunky Jerry," the son of Nicholas "Danger" & Nancy GRIGSBY Combs, Sr., and the other's ancestry remains unidentified (See Early Jeremiah Combs of the South).White males: 0-10 10-16 16-26 26-45 45+

05 Jun 1816 (Floyd Co KY Marriage Records) Nicholas Combs, groom and Elizabeth Combs, bride. June 5, 1816 (ANNALS OF FLOYD Co., KY 1800-1826 by Charles C. Wells 1983, Marriages, p. 299)
Note: The groom, Nicholas Combs, was the son of Nicholas "8" & Nancy GRIGSBY Combs, Sr. (See 1810 Clay Co., KY Census) and the Bride, Elizabeth Combs, the daughter of the RW John "8" & Margaret Combs who were on the 1810 Lincoln Co., KY census (See below re William SMITH). Given that the Nicholas Combs were all residing in Clay Co., KY for both the 1810 and 1820 census enumerations (and tax lists in between), it is not clear as to why the marriage bond was in Floyd. It is also possible that the bond was taken out in the county of the minister (and/or that they were "county line Combs"). Question: Is the 05 Jun 1816 date the date of the minister's return? Note also that the date the bond was secured was the same as the following frustrating record(s):This is to certify that I have give my concent for my daughter Nelly Combs to join with William SMITH in Matrimony. Given under my hand this 19th day of April 1816. (S) Sarey Combs. Attest: Jeremiah Combs, Nicholas Combs. (ANNALS OF FLOYD Co., KY 1800-1826 by Charles C. Wells 1983, p. 147)

20 Apr 1816 (Floyd Co KY Marriage Records) Combs, Milly & William SMITH (Excerpts from Old, The East Kentuckian, published in The Early KY Records, Vol. I)
Notes: The last record shows Milly Combs, not Nelly Combs. Someone needs to order a copy of these records (bond, return and consent); however, later records do indicate she was a Millie. William SMITH was the son of Richard & Alicia/Elitia Combs Smith, (the latter the daughter of Nicholas & Nancy GRIGSBY Combs, Sr. ), and, according to The Combes Genealogy, Millie was the daughter of John Combs [III] of Perry, in which case, John's wife was Sarey (Sarah), who is not mentioned by The Combes Genealogy. Her presence, however, raises the question as to where was John? Not only in April of 1816, but also in 1820, since Sarey seems likely to have been the Sarah of the 1820 Floyd Co., KY Census (see below).15 Jan 1817 (Source: Floyd Co., Ky.

16 March 1818 ( FC-COB3:11 extracted by Combs Researcher Sue Elfving): Jeremiah COMBS is appointed surveyor of the road from John COMBS to the rocky ford in place of Jas. Jones deceased and it is ordered that all the hands residing along said road do assist him to keep the same in repair according to law.
18 Aug. 1818 ( FC-COB3:36-38 extracted by Combs Researcher Sue Elfving). Jinny BROWN affidavit regarding Robt WALKER father of her bastard child. This child was born 9 Jan. 1818. She defines her uncle as Saml BROWN. One Moses WALKER said he had spent the night at the house of Robert BROWN in the spring of 1817. Moses stated Robert BROWN was the father of Jinny and that he, Robert BROWN, had married a sister of the defendant [Robert Walker].
SE Notes: The above entry, combined with the marriage record below, indicates Jinny's step-uncle was the father of her bastard child. There is a 17 Feb. 1816 Floyd Co., Ky., marriage bond by Robert BROWN and Robert WALKER for a marriage between Robert BROWN and Jamima WALKER (Annals, p. 151). Also, one Robert WALKER was security in 1820 for Elijah COMBS' administration of the estate of John COMBS deceased.

John KELLEY and John CORNETT (possibly same who was s/o RW William CORNETT by first wife, Rhoda GILLIAM) may have been same who were appraisers of estate of John Combs who died by Dec 1820 (see below). William Combs, born 1775-1784, is unidentified. Sally Combs, born pre-1765, may still have a son in HH, b 1786-1794 (possibly Mason, later m Matilda WATTS?).

Notes: Elijah Combs, Sr. (who was on the 1820 Clay Co KY Census), died in 1855 in Perry Co., KY whose Vital Statistics, deaths, show his age as 85, born VA, son of John and Nancy Combs. Generally, estates were ordered for appraisal fairly quickly, thus it was likely that John Combs died in late 1820 and was therefore one of the John Combs on the 1820 census of either Floyd or Clay Co., KY. Appraisers are normally chosen from among near neighbors, and John ADAMS, Thomas JOHNSON, John KELLY and John CORNETT were all on the 1820 Floyd Co KY census. It is believed, but not documented, that the above John Combs was Elijah's father, and therefore John Combs, Sr., "father of the 8." On the same date that Elijah Combs was appointed executor, one Jeremiah Combs also appears in court minutes:
Dec Term Monday 18 Dec 1820 (Floyd Co KY Records) ...Jeremiah Combs appears and gives in his list of taxable property for 1820 as 1 white tithe and 1 black tithe over 16 years of age and two total blacks valued at $700 and 200 acres of land valued at $5.00 per acre and two horses at $130 for a total of $1,830. (ANNALS OF FLOYD Co., KY 1800-1826 by Charles C. Wells 1983, p. 190)
Notes: Believed to have been Jeremiah L. "Long" Combs, Sr. who apparently lived near to or adjacent to John Combs who died 1820; however, a big question might be whether "John Combs' old improvement" as referenced in early Perry Co., KY records, referred to John Combs who d 1820 or John Combs [III], father of Jeremiah L. according to The Combes Genealogy.
18 Dec. 1820 ( FC-COB3:241 extracted by Combs Researcher Sue Elfving): On the motion of Elijah COMBS who made oath there to according to law and together with Robert WALKER George MARTIN and Benjamin WEBB his securities entered into and acknowledged their bond in the penalty of one thousand dollars conditioned agreeably to law Leave is granted him to obtain letters of Administration of the estate of John COMBS Deceased in due form of Law which is ordered accordingly.
SE Notes: Often, those individuals who serve as security are related to the deceased or to the widow or widower or are very closely associated with the administrator and/or executors. James BROWN, son of James BROWN, was bound out as apprentice to George MARTIN in 1816. One Robert WALKER was named in a suit as the father of the bastard child of Jinny BROWN, the daughter of Robert BROWN.
18 Dec. 1820 ( FC-COB3:241 extracted by Combs Researcher Sue Elfving): On the motion of Elijah COMBS Administrator of the estate of John COMBS Decd, it is ordered that John ADAMS, Thomas JOHNSON, John KELLY, and John CORNETT or any three of them being duly sworn do appraise vs current money the persona estate of the said John COMBS deceased and report according to Law.
18 Dec. 1820 ( FC-COB3:242 extracted by Combs Researcher Sue Elfving): Commonwealth against Jeremiah COMBS } for not giving his taxable property for 1820. The defendant being heard on oath is discharged without fine, and gave his list of taxable property for 1820 which is one white tithe, and one Black over 16 years of age and two total blacks valued at $700, and 200 acres of land valued at $130, Total amount $1800 which is ordered to be certified to the Auditor.
SE Notes: This 1820 entry regarding the taxable property of Jeremiah is important since it indicates he had possession of two blacks and only had 200 acres of land. The ownership of the blacks may be a clue that he was the same Jeremiah with one black on the 1807 Clay Co., Ky. tax list where one of two Jeremiah COMBS has 1 black and 3 horses. The other Jeremiah remains in Clay and records show him to be Jeremiah C. COMBS aka Chunky Jerry, the son of Nicholas COMBS. In 1808, the Jeremiah COMBS with the black tithe is gone (probably in Floyd Co.) and a third and younger Jeremiah shows up on the tax list with no horse. This Jeremiah is the one who married Elizabeth COMBS. Jeremiah L. COMBS aka "Long Jerry" who removed to Floyd Co. was joined one year later by Simon STACY.
19 March 1821 ( FC-COB4:8 extracted by Combs Researcher Sue Elfving): An Inventory of the estate of John COMBS deceased is received by the court and ordered to be Recorded.
23 June 1823 (FC-COB4:172 extracted by Combs Researcher Sue Elfving): A Sale bill of the estate of John COMBS decd was returned into court by the administrator received and ordered to berecorded.
25 Aug. 1823 (FC-COB4:188-89 extracted by Combs Researcher Sue Elfving): Joseph R. WARD deputy sheriff of Floyd Co. against Jesse ADAMS late Sheriff of Perry Co. and Benjamin ADAMS and Elijah COMBS his securities. Jesse ADAMS no longer an inhabitant of the state. Elijah COMBS appeared in person...the plaintiff to recover from COMBS and Benjamin ADAMS $145.17 with his costs. Elijah COMBS appealedthe judgment which was dismissed in Sep. 1825 (p.316).
27 Sep 1824 (Floyd Co KY Records) September Term Monday 27th day of September 1824 Margus D. Combs produced a license to practice as an Attorney at Law in this State, where upon he quailified to practice as such in this court. (ANNALS OF FLOYD Co., KY 1800-1826 by Charles C. Wells 1983, p.217)
Note: Margus D. Combs (probably Marcus or Marquis) may have lived anywhere, although likely within the State of Kentucky, and applied to numerous counties to practice. Not found as a resident of Floyd.p. 436, Aug. 12, 1850
