SE NOTES: I believe this John Combs might be John, son of Stephen Combs and Barbara Allen. We have no information on him other than Stephen and Barbara are attributed with having a son named John. The 1820 Pulaski Co census shows John Lipsey (husband of Angeletta Combs, d/o of Stephen and Barbara) to be a resident. In 1827 Daniel F McKinney and his wife Hetha (d/o of Stephen and Barbara) moved to Pulaski Co. On 26 Sept. 1829 in Pulaski, one Margaret Combs married a James Ashbrook.

1827 Daniel F. and Hetha Combs McKinney (married 1 Oct 1811, from Franklin Co., KY) to Pulaski Co., KY from Wayne Co., KY (Loren Gardner)
LG Notes: Hettie a.k.a. Hetha [short for Beheathland?] was the second wife of Daniel F. MCKINNEY. Daniel and Hetha are found in Wayne Co. KY in 1820 through 1825 tax records. In 1827 they moved to Pulaski Co. KY. In 1836 through 1848 I find them in Logan Co. IL, where Daniel died in 1848-49. Hetha Combs McKinney died after 1860. Known children of Hetha and Daniel are Abraham 1822 married. Rebecca BROOKS?? and William 1824 married Permalia BIRKS. Census records indicate Hetha and Daniel had four daughters, but their names are not known. Hetha may have been the daughter of Stephen and Barbara ALLEN Combs of Loudoun Co.,VA and Lincoln Co., KY

16 Feb. 1829. Margarett Combs included in the list of purchasers in the Sale Bill for estate of William Brock Dec'd (submitted by Sue Elfving-see source above)
SE Notes: There was no mention of a widow's dower or any reference to children. Apparently John died intestate. The Margaret aka Peggy listed as a purchaser in John's estate and in other estates could have been a widow or maybe she was an unmarried sister and the same who married James Ashbrook on 26 Sept. 1829.
