Notes: Agnes and Edward COMBES have not yet been identified, and it is unclear
why Agnes is shown as having been the wife of Rowland/Edward, yet having 
married ("mar") Edward Combes as versus having been his daughter. This 
visitation also appears to conflict with some records not yet collected 
from the PRO (See Shoreditch, Middlesex). 
Penelope DEVEREUX,

Robert RICH'S sister, Frances, m Thomas CAMMOCK, gf/o Warwick CAMMOCK of Essex, 
England and Old Rappa Co VA where found in records with Archdale COMBS I. (See Next)

Idle Questions: Is there any possibility that Isaac ALLERTON of Plymouth Colony, 
uncle of Sarah PRIEST who m John Combs ca1630), was a.k.a. ALLINGTON? Or ERLINGTON 
a.k.a. ALLINGTON?

RICH (d/o Sir Robert & Mary BALDRY Rich), grandparents of Warwick CAMMOCK, 
close associate of Combs of Old Rappa Co VA (See Also Rich Visitation & See 
Cammocke Monument). Re Dorathe who married Richard WHITLOCKE, this family has not 
been researched, but given the Thomas WHITLOCK who is found in the records of 
both Isle of Wight and Old Rappa. Co VA with land adjacent to the families of 
Cammock, Combs, Thatcher, Underwood, Upton, etc., then a closer look at the 
WHITLOCK Family is undoubtedly warranted (Add'l WHITLOCK data will be posted to 
Combs Research shortly)

Notes: The father of Cristiana DENNEY Combs has not yet been identified;
however, note the following:

10 Aug 1635 (James City Co - VA Land Patent Book 1:271) John DENNETT, 200
A, N side of Mr. Thomas KINGSTONES land (only a barren ridge between), Nly 
into the forrest between Martins hundred & Kiskiake by a br. of Capt. 
John WEST Cr. Trans. of 4 pers: John LEY, Jon. ROWLAND, Susan RICHEY, Ann 
COMBEY (Cavaliers &Pioneers, Vol. I, p. 30) Search Words: LEE, RITCHIE 

Thomas KINGSTON was a member of the House of Burgesses from Martin's Hundred in
October, 1629. He was surveyor-general of Virginia, and died in 1636. His 
widow married Thomas LOVING (General Court Records). (Virginia Historical 
Magazine, Volume #3, pg 280)

Notes: If Ann was not a COMBEY, but a COMBE, then might Susan have been a 
RICHE (as in Robert RICHE, Earl of Warwick & Virginia Colony Proprietor) 
rather than a RICHEY? And John DENNETT originally a DENNE, a.k.a. DENNEY? And 
could the following Thomas DANE have been a DENNEY, too? (See Next)

Note: Marston is a township in the parish of Church-Eaton, western division
of the hundred of Cuttlestone, county of Stafford, 6 miles west of Penkridge. 
There is also a chapelry of Marston in the parish of St. Mary, Lichfield, in the 
southern division of Pirehill Hundred, County of Stafford which is 2¾ miles 
N of Stafford. (Topographical Dictionary of England, Lewis, Vol. 3, page 
261) The 1636 London will of William PALMER, h/o Barbara ARCHDALE, includes a 
bequest to "my cousin Thomas PALMER of Marston." [sic] Question: It 
appears possible therefore that Martson and Marston may have been interchangeable 
(See Visitation of London, 1633-5, Martson Family). See Also Visitation of London,
1633-4, Archdale Family
