The interest in STOCKWELL is due to one Samuel Stockwell Combs (b. 1824) of Clay Co., IN. and later Delaware Co., IA (who had a son named Job Combs) and to one Job Combs (alias Coons) who married Mary Ann STOCKWILL in 1823 in Boone Co., Ky. where the name Joseph STOCKWELL (possible father or relative) appears on the marriage record. Furthermore, there are two brothers Michael and Job Combs who lived in Montgomery Co., IN. Michael Combs obtained a land patent in Montgomery in 1826 and Job obtained one in 1829.
