Jackson County was established in 1816 from Clark, Washington and Jefferson. Based on Dickey Diary Interviews and numerous other sources (to be added shortly), numerous Combs-Associated Families came to Salt Creek, Jackson Co, IN from Perry Co KY, including CODY, CORNETT, FLEETWOOD, HICKS (SUMNER), RIPPEY Families. Much more work to be done on this county due to “missing” Combs from East KY.
