SE Notes: Holt Co, MO, 6 Mar 1863 Silas C COMBS married Lavina WILSON. He was the son of John Combs and Susan JONES of Green Co, KY. Susan remarried Thomas J WHITNEY and they brought their family to Holt Co, MO by 1850 where the census records show William, John, Melissa, James, and Silas Combs in their stepfather's household. Silas' mother Susan WHITNEY is living with him per the 1880 census(but not in 1876). Silas served as a Union soldier in the Civil War per official records (9th Reg’t, MO St Mil Cav Co C). By 1890 he had removed to Richardson Co, NE where he is found on the 1890 Veterans' Census. Silas C Combs died June 21, 1932 in Lincoln, NE and was born May 1, 1841 in Green Co, KY. Silas's sister Melissa Combs and her husband Wade H WHITNEY had previously moved to Richardson Co, NE. Silas, his mother, and several brothers are missing in the 1860 census. After the war, he may have moved to Atchison Co because his uncle William Combs (who married Margaret ROBERTS) was a resident. Silas C Combs applied for a Civil War pension on 5 May 1873. These pension application files are generally very informative as the applicant had to prove his identity, service, and family.
