They are living in the same district as Hannah OWENS Combs and her other children Kenus and George B. COMBS. See also Fielden, age 26, husband of Arminta. See also 1880 Perry Co., KY Census. Still looking for the identity of this Fielding. Some possibilies are: 1) Fielding COMBS, born ca 1843, the son of Jeremiah L. & Sallie KELLEY Combs, of the 1850 Perry Co., KY Census and possibly in 1860 as "Felix" (2) Fielding COMBS, born ca 1844, the son of Biram and Hannah OWENS Combs of Letcher (3) Fielding, born ca 1843, died 1914, Jefferson Co., KY (4) Fielden born ca 1839 died 1915 Knott Co., KY .

born ca 1824, son of Margaret Combs, daughter of RW John Combs of Perry KY? Melda may be the daughter of John L. and Polly COMBS/MOSELY. She is listed as a sister to Susan and Polly COMBS on the 1900 Knott Co., Ky Census. Shadrick COMBS' son?, Shadrick (see below), is listed with Hezekiah and Melda on the 1880 Perry Co., Ky Census.

Shade is also listed in the 1860 Perry Co., KY Census HH 393-391 and his mother Polly is listed age 54. Is the 1861 Perry Co. marriage between Shadrick COMBS and Rhana [sic] SALYER, and signed by the above Hezeriah [sic] COMBS, a first marriage for this Shadrick? Are the "out of age order" children, Sinda (Lucinda?), Shadrach and Dorcas children from this possible 1st marriage? Dorcas was Shade's daughter per the 1880 Perry Co., KY Census. Shadrach, age16, is living with Hezekiah and Melda COMBS in 1880. According to The Combes Genealogy, Shadrick, where he is termed "Blinky Shade" married Polly CORNETT, who may be the Polly, age 27, listed above.

Alice married (1) Joseph DAVIDSON, and (2) Granville P. Combs (widower of Miranda BRASHEAR). She is the mother of Ira J. DAVIDSON living above in the household of his maternal grandfather. Also listed in the household of Granville and Alcie Combs (Davidson) Combs is Mary, age 18. Was she Polly Ann Combs, born 18 Jan 1852, daughter of Granville and Miranda, or was she Mary DAVIDSON, the daughter of Alcy and Joseph DAVIDSON. Combs Researcher Marilyn Hansen notes that she believes, but has not yet been able to prove, that Mary DAVIDSON is the "Aunt Mary Combs" who is listed several times in the book, History of Perry Co. Alcie Combs is Marilyn's great great great grandmother, another of her daughters being Sarah DAVIDSON, married Edward POLLY, parents of grandmother Alice "Alcie" Polly MORRIS of Hazard, Ky. Granville, Alcie, and many of their descendents are buried in the Combs Cemetery, Combs, Ky. This cemetery sits on what was the original home place of Granville, and is quite large. See Also 1914 Perry Co., KY obituary and Death Certificate of Alcy Combs Davidson Combs. Also note that Robert, age 8 in 1850 and age 18 in 1860 is apparently missing from this census and Granville has named (another?) son, Robert. Did the earlier Robert die, or marry/move?

(Abstracted by Sue Elfving; please see note above on Deed Bk D).
Notes: Grantor Nancy Combs (d/o of Richard SMITH and Alicia Combs) was the widow of George Combs (s/o of Henry "8" Combs and Rachel CLEMENTS). Grantor Francis Combs (aka Frank) would be her son (1850 hh of parents). Rachel RITCHIE, who also signs her rights and claim, is likely her daughter Rachel (1850 hh of parents) and may be the same who married Squire RITCHIE. L.D. Combs may be the same as son Lorenza (age 7) in Nancy and George's 1850 household. This 200 acres on Coots Br. is the same land conveyed on 29 June 1850 by Lorenzy D.

SE Notes. The phrasing of this indenture is confusing. The grantors are the four children of Jeremiah "Chunky Jerry" Combs deceased and his second wife Sally GRIGSBY. They were Harrison Combs (married to a Margaret), Wade Combs who was unmarried, Lourana aka Rany Combs and her husband Granville Combs, and Ritty Combs. These four children are named by Jeremiah in his 1853 will as his four youngest children.

Deed of Conveyance to Wm L. Combs Heirs was acknowledged by Jackson Combs. 2 Feb. 1873 and admitted to record.

Notes: Jackson Combs was the son of Biram Combs Jr. (See 1858 deed wherein Jackson Combs sold 1/2 his interest in 200a on Carrs Fork that he inherited from his father). Listing Wm.'s daughter Isabel as a SUMNER is an error. She was married to William HAMMON (see 1868 deed). Daughters Clarinda and Dulcena have married since the 1868 deed. This indenture was dated 1874 but the recording date was 1873, obviously an error in one of those dates. Again the Clerk erred on the initial for William showing "S" but he did get closer since "L" and "S" are often very difficult to differentiate.
