(Combs Researcher Jan Hoyle)
Notes: Thomas has gained only 6 years in 10, and Rachel ELMORE only 3, and all of the children listed in the 1850 appear to be different from those listed here. Moreover, beginning with Mary A., the last four children are "out of age order" (Were James B. and John C. listed as twins?). According to oral family tradition, Mary Ann, is said to have been raised by Thomas and Rachel ELMORE Combs, but not their child and possibly part Indian. Mary A. Z. Combs m 6 Jun 1865 in Menard Co, IL, Zephaniah ICKE. She d 11 Apr 1930, Tonkawa, Kay Co, OK, but is buried in the Fairvalley Cemetery near Freedom, Woods Co, OK, as is the above Hannah (see 1866 below).
*According to her death certificate, Mary Ann was d/o Thomas and Rachel ELMORE Combs (b VA and KY respectively), and b 28 Sep 1847 [sic] in Cass Co, IL, but the death cert of her son states she was b in Lawrence Co, MO. Side Note: Might the Z. in her second middle name have indicated an earlier surname?
