Page 95, 2. It is now believed quite possible
that John
COMBS of Richmond had only one wife, Hannah
"Ann." Her surname is not known, although she may have been a MASON
(research in progress). John was born 1662-1664, and was married by 1694
(how much earlier not yet known). William
and Elizabeth COMBS Kendall were still residing in Richmond
Co, VA (on the Westmoreland
Co, VA line) at the time of John's death in 1716/7.

Page 95, 3. John COMBS resided adjacent to
both Joseph and Josiah MASON of Richmond Co, VA. Their relationship, if
any, to the MASONS of Stafford Co, VA, remains unknown (research in progress).
Joseph COMBS' birth year is unknown other than that it was probably bef
1685 (Much before and it becomes physically impossible for him to have
been a son of John). Another reason for doubt as to the closeness of the
relationship between Joseph COMBS I and Mason
Combs, Sr. (s/o John) is that neither Joseph nor his descendants ever
named a son Mason, and Mason never named a son, Joseph (so far as is known
- research in progress). Nevertheless, Joseph's line does include a descendant
with the given name Archdale (in Clark
Co, KY) so somehow ...

in
Frederick
Co VA has been found for John COMBS, presumed "father of the eight."
His son, RW
John "8" COMBS of Perry
Co, KY, served in Shenandoah
Co, VA (carved out of Frederick in 1772). His son, Mason "8" COMBS
(d ca 1822, Perry Co, KY), did not marry Jane "Jennie" RICHARDSON in Frederick
Co, VA (where Benjamin COMBS, h/o Sarah RICHARDSON, was apparently residing
at the time of his marriage (pre-1774)), but down in
Wythe
Co, VA at least twenty years later.

Page 97, 6. The source for statements made in
reference to possible relationships between descendants of Mason COMBS,
Sr. and Joseph COMBS I are the Dickey
Diary Interviews. No descendants of Mason COMBS, Sr. have been found
with the middle name of either Cuthbert or Calmes yet. It was believed
for some time by many researchers that Mason C. COMBS (s/o Jeremiah
and Charity RHODES Combs and gs/o Mason COMBS (Jr.?) of Hawkins Co,
TN) had the middle name Calmes, but it has been subsequently documented
that his middle name was Canaday (Land Records of Madison
Co, AR)
