Goals

  • Establish the genetic profile for this COMBS lineage.
  • Determine the ancestry of Gen. James H. "Joe" COMBS by comparing genetic profiles.
  • Note: I'm indebted to my late cousin Hazel Russell for much of this info. I suspect a John Combs from what's now Barren County KY (born 1791) was the father of James H. "Joe" but I can't prove that. I also think "Joe" was disowned because he was a Unionist and therefore previous family records are harder to locate.
