Goals

  • Establishing the "genetic profiles"for this branch of COMBS.
  • Determine if this Mason COMBS shares a common ancestry with either Jeremiah "Long Jerry" COMBS Sr., or Shadrach COMBS Sr., or any of the "8" brothers.
  • Determine the accuracy of the tradition reputed by Dr. Josiah COMBS that this Mason COMBS is a son of a John COMBS but no records have been found to substantiate this tradition.
  • Verify if the "genetic profile" ties this line with the Archdale COMBS lineage, particularly due to the given name of Mason COMBS that seems unique to this lineage.
  • Note: Lineage thoroughly documented with records, many of which are on COMBS website. I do not believe there are any extant records that have not been researched with respect to the next generation.
