Notes: J. N. Combs was John M. Combs son of A. Meredith & Esther ALLEN Combs. John was married to America BAKER. If John was 33 in 1904 he should have been listed on the 1880 Clay Co., Ky Census, but he wasn't and neither was his brother William M. Combs. The actual microfilm of the 1880 census needs to be checked against published reports of the county.
