North Petherton, Somerset: Baptisms , 1570-1793

Notes: The following records were extracted from Dwelly's Parish Records vols. 10-12, by Coombs Researcher Pete Coombs who adds that (a) he will be adding burials and marriages shortly; and (b) that the following is actually his transcription of notes given him by his father who had transcribed them from Dwelly's when researching their family history back in 1987. What follows is all the 'Combs' baptism entries in Dwelly's. These have been copied directly, including all the inconsistencies in spelling of surnames etc. but please bear in mind that this is my transcription of someone else's handwritten notes.

Other marriages (not yet acquired) occurring around the same time as Combs-Kelly, according to IGI Entries, include (but are not limited to):

20 Oct 1599 George COOMBE m Edith QUARRELL, North Petherton, Somerset, EN (IGI, Ba: E002591, So: 908500, Pr: 0883842, film not yet read)

21 Nov 1607 Agneta COMBE m Jacobus BURGE, North Petherton, Somerset, EN (IGI, Ba: E002591, So: 908500, Pr: 0883842, film not yet read)

10 Apr 1624 . North Petherton, Somersetshire. Married: Elizabeth COOMBE and Henry THATCHER. (IGI Parish Extract, Batch E002591, Source: 908500, Pr: 0883842, film not yet read)

13 Sep 1624 . North Petherton, Somersetshire. Married: Dorothie COOMBE and John NOWELL. (IGI Parish Extract, Batch E002591, Source: 908500, Pr: 0883842, film not yet read)

10 Apr 1624 . North Petherton, Somersetshire. Married: Elizabeth COOMBE and Henry THATCHER. (IGI Parish Extract, Batch E002591, Source: 908500, Pr: 0883842)

Notes: The above Henry and Elizabeth COOMBE Thatcher marriage was excerpted due to the (a) John and Elizabeth (LOVETT?) Combs transaction in London in 1634 with George THETCHER [sic]; (b) the association between Abraham and Archdale Combs of Old Rappa Co VA with Margaret UNKNOWN who m (1) Sylvester THATCHER and (2) Warwick CAMMOCK (Sly THATCHER'S ancestry remains unknown, but possibly Lincolnshire roots). Also note that in 1638, Simon STACY was born in North Petherton Parish, Co Somerset, England to John and Mary ___ Stacy (The Stacy Journal, Combs-Stacy Researcher Barbara Stacy Mathews).

Earlier STACYS are also found in Essex, England, and later in MD, York, Stafford & Frederick Counties, VA, where, in the mid 1700s, another Simon STACY'S children marry descendants of Archdale Combs I of Stafford & Old Rappahannock Co VA, and it is possible that the Combs-STACY association was much earlier than the 1700s. Elizabeth STACY christened 14 Nov 1630 in North Petherton Parish, County Somerset, England to Simon and Johan COLL (COLE) Stacy, married William DARNELL 28 July 1645 in Epping Parish, County Essex, England; later removed to Maryland (Combs-Stacy Researcher Barbara Stacy Mathews)

13 Jan 1622 . North Petherton, Somerset, EN. Christened: Redigan COMBE, d/o George. (IGI Parish Extract, Ba: P002591, So: 908499, Pr: 0472195, film not read)

Notes: The above record may indicate a connection with Shebbear, Devonshire where two earlier Redigan/Rodigun etc. Combs records are found.
