Also: See 1900 Census of Grand Forks Co, ND census where a James C. Coombs and Robert “H.” Coombs can be found. Also a James C. Coombs born in 1874 in Kansas. This could indicate James left NJ by that date and was living in Kansas, with subsequent migration to North Dakota. (Or unlikely, this is an entirely different family.)
