Jackson County was organized in accordance with an act of the legislature of the Territory of Arkansas, 5 Nov 1829.
The earliest record of a COMBS in Jackson Co, AR found is the 1857 Personal Tax List. (I will be posting tax lists later) There is John COMBS, Richwood Twp, from the 1850 Cherokee Co., Alabama Census, born 1827 in Tennessee, descendent of Joseph I of Stafford VA. And there is an unidentified William COMBS, Des Arc Twp. The 1858 Personal Tax List will have John, William, and B.W./N. COMBS. I have been unable to determine the lineage of William and BW; William will possibly be the husband of a Sarah born 1829 in TN in the 1860 Jackson Co, AR census. John is assumed to have died in 1858 and his wife Kesiah remarries in 1858 but, he is assumed to be the John in the 1859 tax list with BW, and William not there. Neither John, William, or BW are in the 1860 Jackson Co, Census. However, BW shows on a General Index of Deeds in 1861 granting power of Atty to AH LOGAN to sell land. The 1860, 70, 80 census will primarily be John's family and associated family. Beginning in 1900, Jackson Co, AR will begin to see many more COMBS.

Nancy (PREWITT/PREVATT) 55 NC
Harriett 23 NC
Thomas 18 MS
COOK, Charles 23 AL
Note: Thomas marries Sarah E COMES in 1868, Jackson Co, AR; naming problems here; oral histories of both COMBS and BRITT families identify Sarah E as the daughter of John & Kesiah JACKSON COMBS. 1860 census lists her as Nancy, 1870 as Sarah, 1880 and after she is Annie or Anna.

Mary 40 AL
Sarah 18 AL
James 16 AL
Thomas 13 AL
Note: John is the father-in-law of John & Kesiah JACKSON COMBS. He is often confused about his age and place of birth. He is beside John and Kesiah on the 1850 Cherokee Co, AL census with wife Polly, possibly ALDERSON from Sumner Co, TN (Kesiah lists TN birth place). He is most likely on 1852 Jackson Co, AR Tax list and definitely identified by 1854 Tax List.

Note: Could Sarah be the widow of William or BW from the 1857,58 Jackson Co, AR Tax Lists? And if Dutch is their son, his age and birth place would possibly mean a TN marriage and 1850 census.

John (father) 56 TN TN TN widower
Note: John, age 56, born in TN, in the HH of William, is most likely the s/o Green B Combs, from Overton Co., TN. John is not in Green's 1850 Overton Co, TN HH but, he is in Green's 1860 Overton TN HH as 17y/o born in TN. Whether son or adopted, this John is linked to Green Combs who is probably the s/o 1840 Fentress Co, TN John Combs. Green is in Independence, AR by 1868 with sons Francis born in abt 1840, James born in abt 1844, and John born in abt 1843.

Note: The 1840 East TN birth has me thinking Charles is linked to the family of Charles Allen Combs, Fayette Co, TN?, who is in Union, AR by 1850 census. Combs mail list contributor, Jeanne Murphy, on 2/17/1999, listed the children of Charles Allen and Rebecca B. TRAYLOR Combs. One "James C. born in 9/30/1841 (was soldier in Civil War and never returned)" is a possible match?

RITTER, Andrew 18 AR AR AR sawmill worker
SHAILES, William 24 TX IN MO sawmill worker
Note: I believe it is Heritage Quest that indexes this as Lum Combs. The census image is mostly illegible and can barely make out "Lum". An 1897 Jackson Co, AR Tax List of an L Combs; an 1908 Jackson Co, AR marriage of CC Combs to Blanche LOYED; and an 1910 Independence, AR census of Columbus and Blanh Combs seems to make this Christopher Columbus Combs born in IL (Lum is short for Columbus). s/o Marcus Lafayette and Jeorgi Ann ALLMON Combs wed 1862 Marion ll, s/o William and Rosetta HAMMOND Combs wed 1825 Christian Co, KY, s/o Benjamin B and Elizabeth PAYNE Combs, grandson of Cuthbert and Sarah EVANS Combs. Line of Joseph l of Stafford VA.

BRITT
The Britt family came to Arkansas some years before the Civil War. Alexander Britt was the father of Thomas. Both father and son served in the Southern Army during the war. Alexander Britt contracted smallpox while in the arny and died. Thomas Britt came home from prison ater the war and married Anne Combs. They were the parents of several children. They were: Mattie, Ida, Jacob, Alice, John, and Harry Britt. All are deceased except Jacob and John. Thomas Britt accumulated a considerable body of farmlands, which he operated very successfully, together with a cotton gin, sawmill, and gristmill. Mr. Britt was a typical Southern planter. Also, Mr. Britt lived in a time when there was an abundance of open range. In fact, there were thousands of acres of open pasturage for all kinds of stock. Mr. Britt, as all successful planters of his era, had the forests teeming with horses, mules, cattle, and hogs. These surplus stock lived the entire winter in canebrakes and subsisted on the cane and the acorns which fell from the trees in enormous quantities.
