10 Aug 1882 Menifee Co Marriage: Kits COMBS to Elizabeth J. IGO (Extracted from Ancestry's Kentucky Marriages 1851-1900 by Combs Researcher Debi Houser)
1 April 1885 The Hazel Green herald News (Hazel Green, Wolfe County, Ky.) abstracted by Sue Elfving from digitized image of newspaper found at the Library of Congress
"A baby boy about two months old was left on the stiles of Aaron Combs, a respectable citizen of Menifee, on the night of March 24. Mr. Combs when he had discovered it, pursued the mother and overtaking her about five miles from his house, compelled her to return and get it. The mother proved to be a Miss Nancy FUGETT, of Morgan County."
Later, another item appeared wherein the Commonwealth had sued Aaron Combs on a case of bastardy. The defendant was found not guilty but the
Commonwealth planned to refile. I found no other entires in this paper for Aaron Combs.
Note: This Aaron would be the son of Richard Combs and Mary BACK.
