Notes: Alice "Ailsy" (JOLLY, widow of John COMBS?) is back, as is Rebecca (WINK(?), widow of Edward, Jr.). John COMBS w/100 acres on Ashes Creek in 1807 appears to be the same who is now shown with 100 acres on Simpson's Creek (same land?). Either William Sr. has died, with William Jr. administering his estate (down to 1938.25 from 2000 acres), or the"Jr." is in error. See 1813 land deeds of gift from Wm., Sr. to his children. (According to other, unsubstantiated, sources, William Sr. did not die until
1824). Enoch's 67 acres is now 65.

Notes: Samuel Combs I of Loudoun VA and Chaplin's Creek, Nelson Co., KY, has died (between 1814 and 1816), and his 2nd wife Elizabeth (earlier widow of Thomas WILLIAMS), is now listed. Is it significant that neither appears on the 1815 Nelson KY tax lists? No further record of Elizabeth or the land on Chaplin's Creek, is found in Nelson Co., KY, but could she have been same whom John MILLIGAN married above? Also note that Edward's and Nelson's land is now shown as Ash's Creek, and that John's
land has increased by 50 acres.

and found himself indebted to the said John COMES three hundred and twenty acres of land for which he had given his Due Bill___ to him out of a tract of land on the waters of Rough Creek which this deponent understood to be part of a larger tract and that the said John COMES was to have his choice out of the whole tract__- should be laid off to him. This deponent also stated that he understood the said HYNES at the same time ____William R. HYNES was to survey the land for the said John COMES. This deponent also stated that he understood the this___out of which John COMES was to have the named 320 acres was held jointly by Andrew HYNES and Philip PHILLIPS. This deponent states that sometime after the death of Andrew HYNE She saw
the Due Bill in the hands of William R. HYNES in favor of the said John COMES against the said Andrew which corresponded with
what the said Andrew had before told this deponent he had given John COMES. This deponent furtherstated that he understood from William R. HYNES that he had possession of the due bill for the purpose of laying off the land agreeable to the said John
COME and by the direction of Andrew HYNES. This deponen further states that John COMES, father of the complainant, made the choice of Colonel HYNES sometime in the year 1785___ and the price John COMES paid Andrew HYNES for the land was twenty

Notes: The above deposition was by Major Edward COOMBS I of Tonoloways (husband of Rebecca STILLWELL). His reference to
"uncle John COMES" appears to indicate that Andrew HYNES' mother was sister to Major Edward and his brother, John COMBS I of
Tonoloways (husband of Alice JOLLY). The complainant would thus have been John COMBS II, son of John & Alice JOLLY Combs I. See also 1809 Nelson deposition whereby Major Edward refers to his brother, John COMBS.
