Warrick County was established in 1813 from Knox Co IN. See also the 1885 letter of Carlton Combs Letter, s/o John and Jean JACKSON Combs, and gs/o John and Sarah MABRY Combs, which includes the following references to this county:
"My Mother [Jean JACKSON Combs] was [the d/o] John JACKSON. Her mother Margaret…. Their childrren, five by number, were: James, born Oct. 4 1783; Martha who married David WHETSTONE, was born Oct. 26, 1783 [sic]: they had two sons and two daughters, Margaret, their first was a year or two older than myself. She married James BELL of Warwick [Warrick] Co., Indiana. A large family was the result but just how their names and number have gone from my recollection except Isaac [BELL], who in 1875 resided in Newburg in the county and state just mentioned. He had a second wife and I think only two children, one by each. His daughter by his first wife at 15 years of age was 5 ft 5 in. high. They were educating her for all she would hold and the capacity seemed as great and easy of access as she was long. I am sorry that I have forgotten her name. She would be an interesting correspondent. Aunt Martha's second child was John. I saw a son of his at Newburg, do not remember his mother's maiden name nor the number of children."
Carlton Combs makes no mention of any Combs in this county, but possible relationships should not be discounted due to the presence of his JACKSON Cousins. The 1830 US Census Index lists one David WHETSTONE in Vanderburgh Co, IN, and another in Perry Co MO. An 1839 Izard Co AR tax list also includes a David WHETSTONE. See below re James BELL.
Note: According to Martha Bell; “Margaret Whetstone married Charles BELL about 1830 in Vanderburgh County, IN. Charles did live in Warrick County before and after their marriage as did the rest of the BELL famiy. Charles was the brother of James BELL who married first Massa Penrod who had been married to John Dover. Next James married Sarah Hardesty. He have several children by both wives.” More on the BELL Family in Warrick Co, IN.
