SCH Notes: Benjamin, J. E. (John) and Thomas are all sons of Phillip Combs. "Scaborn HOUSE" should read "Seaborn." He would eventually become the father-in-law of Thomas J. Combs (Thomas married Mary Francis HOUSE). I had no idea they had served together until now, but that does help explain the close relationship they seemed to have had; when Phillip moved to Texas in the 1890's, Seaborn and his wife Betty came too (according to oral family history via Gretta). Supposedly, the HOUSES didn't like Texas and returned to Georgia where Mrs. HOUSE died (c. 1900) and was buried. Seaborn then returned to Texas and died c. 1902. He is buried near Thomas and Mary in the Greenwood Baptist Church Cemetery in Hopkins County, TX. His grave is marked only with the symbol of the Masons.
