Monmouth County was established in 1683 from the Province of East Jersey. Numerous changes in county boundaries have occurred up to and including as recently as 1928. In 1850, Ocean County was established from Monmouth.

Freehold vs. Upper Freehold: Early Combs Families are found in both Freehold and Upper Freehold Townships. Most of the Combs of Freehold Twp. were associated with the Old Tennet (Scots-Presbyterian) Church whereas the Combs of Upper Freehold were Quakers who attended meeting at Chesterfield Monthly Meeting in Burlington Co. Freehold and Upper Freehold are at least a half-hours (present-day) drive apart. Upper Freehold Township is actually a large area encompassing several towns, including both Cream Ridge and Allentown.

26 Jan 1884, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada; Newspaper: The Daily Sun

The language of the text is the original used in the newspaper entry and as transcribed by Daniel F. Johnson. Records acquired by the Provincial Archives are not translated from the language in which they originate.

A tradition among the COMBS family of New Jersey says that their ancestor was one of the Scotch Presbyterians so bitterly persecuted in their native land by both Papal and Episcopal authorities and that the first Combs came over in the ship “Caledonia”. A ship of the name is mentioned as early as 1699 as making voyages between Scotland and America; and she carried passengers as late as 1715; she was finally wrecked near Amboy and in late years, says Mr. WHITEHEAD in his History of Perth Amboy, her remains were seen lying in shoal water near that place. The first of the family named in Monmouth records was Richard COMBS mentioned in 1707. Some of the family located in the adjoining county of Middlesex. (Ancestry of the First Families of St. John, N.B. by Edwin Salter, Washington, D.C.)

The earliest known Combs in the records of New Jersey was in 1707 for Richard COMBS, a property owner in Freehold, Monmouth by 1700, but probably earlier from Hempstead, Queens Co, NY, and Richard II, s/o Richard COMBS I of Hempstead. Richard II was probable brother to Thomas COMBS I who d 1724, Freehold Twp, naming wife, Elizabeth, sons Robert, Thomas, Joseph, Jonathan and John, and daughters, Rachel and Elizabeth. A second Thomas COMBS d testate (will dated 1757), but was of Upper Freehold Twp. This 2nd Thomas COMBS is thought to have been the Quaker earlier in the Hopewell (then Middlesex Co) area, and believed to have m (1) 1723 Mary SHIPPEY by whom he had sons John, b 26 Nov 1732, d. about June 1803, m. Rebecca FITZRANDOLPH; and James, b about 1734, d 1813.; and (2) Keziah LEMMING (aka LIMING) by whom he had two daughters, Lydia, b unk, d. aft Sep 1819, m. Joshua NORTON; and Dinah, b unk, m 1771, Monmouth, Benjamin HUTCHISON.

N. B. Sources still needed for birth and marriage of John (1732) and marriage of Lydia to Joshua NORTON.

Chronology of Monmouth Records (1683-????)

22 Sep 1700 - 1711 Deed. Richard COMES of the township of Hempstead in Queens County Island of Nassau and Province of New Yorke, dated 1711, to Thomas COMBS of the township of Freehold in the County of Monmouth and Province of New Jersey, lands and meadows which were granted to Richard by Captain Samuell LEONARD by a deed dated Sept 22, 1700 and land deeded to Richard by Captaine John BROWN [BOWNE?] dated 1704.

(Abstracted from Library of Deeds, folio 454, at the Trenton, NJ Archives by Combs Researcher Kate C. DiBlassio)

22 Sep 1700-14 May 1711. Trenton, NJ, Deeds, 1:454. Richard COMBES of Hempstead [Queens Co, NY], conveyed to Thomas COMBES of Freehold [Monmouth Co, NJ], three parcels of land there, the first being of 75 acres which was purchased of Capt. Samuel LEONARD on 22 Sept. 1700; the second, a like amount, bought of Capt. John BOWNE [sic] on 10 Sept. 1704 and the third, in two pieces, acquired of Hugh TANCRELT [TANCRED?] on 12 Mar. 1701, all this for £250, in NY money.

Notes: GDAC “tended” to change surname spelling to COMBES even when the record listed different spelling. Thomas COMBS, d 1724 in Freehold, was the s/o Richard & Elizabeth COMBS I of Hempstead, Queens Co, NY (See 11 Mar 1706 below), and the above Richard is believed to have been his brother, Richard II.

11 Mar 1706 Hempstead, Queens Co, NY Records 2:300. “…. I Thomas COMES of freehold in ye County of monmath and provinc of new Jerrsey for …. fifty pounds in mony and land … paid by John COMES of Madnans Neck one long island of nassaw [Hempstead, Queens Co, NY] …. do … aquit and discharg the sd John COMES his hairs and assigns all that … land …. being one madnans neck one nasaw in ye bounds of hemsted in queens County lying one hundred and eighty rod in length by estemation and nintene rod in bredth bounded southward by Richard THORN and norward by John HUBS containing one and twenty acors and a half more or les together with all …. privilidgs bee longing to ye same John COOMES his hairs or assigns and i the said Thomas COAMS…. do …. agree to and with the sd John COMES his hairs and assigns for ye aforesd bargained premises excepting the thirds of ye farm for the which is my mothers Elizabeth COMESES har lif time…” s/Thomas COMES. Wit: Job THROCKMORTON and the mark of Richard CHEASMAN; no dates of ack. or recd.

Notes: It is not known which calendar was used in the above record; i.e., whether this was 1705/1706 or 1706/1707. In the 1698 Hempstead, Queens Co, NY Census, Elizabeth COMES was head of household, others of whose members were John, Robert and Mercy COMES. Thomas COMBS and his putative brother, Richard II, were both missing from the 1698 Hempstead, Queens Co, NY census, and likely already in Freehold, Monmouth Co, NJ by that time. It has been presumed by some researchers that Richard was deceased by 1698 (rather than out of the county); even if not, the above record fully documents that he had died by the date of this record.

1707 (Monmouth NJ Liber 12 Folio 213) OLD TIMES IN OLD MONMOUTH. Superscription: “For Her Majesties Service”,
“To Capt. John BOWNE,
Capt. Richard SALTER,
Obadiah BROWN,
Anthony WOODWARD,
Jeremiah STILLWELL,
Justices of ye Peace for ye County of Monmouth.

'Record of God's judgement on Richard COMBS, at Shrewsbury, in a Court of Sessions, Anno Dom. 1707.

“Richard COMBES, being on his examination before the Court, on charge of stealing Edward TAYLOR'S hogs; he was bold in declaring his innocency, and was told by the Justices to take care, how he did persist to deny, that which all men did believe him guilty of. He then again called upon God, and said that God knew his innocency,” and that he was clear of the charge of stealing hogs. One or two of the Justices looking full in his face, prayed him to forbear appealing to the Great Being, who would one day meet with him for it, if he was guilty of the crime charged. He again began to call on God, saying that God knew he was clear, and suddenly fell down, like one struck dead. He was helped up, just opened his eyes, and fell down again, recover in a considerable time to be sensible. His tongue hung out of his mouth, and he did not wholly come to himself in some weeks.
By order of the Court,
James BOLLEN, Clerk.

"There seems to have been no proof of his guilt before the Court, as they were then examining the case, yet the Court assumes his guilt. Accordingly this accusation was enough to excite a person conscious of his innocence.

“A charge of this kind, perhaps, maliciously preferred by some sly and crafty person, was sufficient to set him in a fever of excitement, and when in spite of his solemn protestations of his innocency, the very tribunal of men, which should have waited until all the facts were before it, persisted in the assumption of his guilt. and that under such excitment, there should have been a rush of blood to the brain, and a fit, is not very surprising. This record is proof that the Dogberries of the bench were unfit for their positions, but no proof of the defendant's guilt.”

Notes: The above-referenced deed from Thomas to Richard may be the reason for the 1711 deed that references 1700 property holdings. See also 20 Dec 1732 Will of William BRYANT of Hopewell [Middlesex Co, NJ]. Witnesses included Robert COMBS [sp.?], who with others made the inventory, 2 Feb 1732-33.

At the end it states “and Elizabeth the wife of the said Thomas doth fully and freely give and yield up unto the said John REID all her right and title of Dower and Intrest.”

A memorandum to this deed dated the 13th of May 1720 states that “Thomas COMBS above named--- Acknowledged this instrument to be his act & deed before me, John REID.” (Abstracted by Combs Researcher Kate C. DiBlassio)

12 Oct 1723 - 27 May 1725. Will of Thomas COMBS, carpenter, of Freehold, NJ; named his wife Elizabeth; children: Robert, Rachel, Thomas, Joseph, Jonathan, John and Elizabeth, all minors [sic]; disposed of real and personal property; executors: said wife and Jonathan HAMPTON, of Freehold, cordwainer; witnessed by George WALKER, John FENTON and John CAMPBELL.

Question: Does the “S” indicate Thomas' middle initial or that he signed (or affixed his seal)?

Notes: Although Thomas was married to an Elizabeth by 1714 (Monmouth Records), it is not known if she was the same Elizabeth as at the time of his death. One undocumented source lists her as nee SEAMON, but Thomas appears to have been married more than once given his use of the phrase “my now wife” in his will. Two Elizabeths? Or a first wife who d pre-1714? Were eldest son, Robert, and daughter, Rachel, by an earlier wife? Was Rachel single or married to a Combs? (If the latter, which?)

Oct. 22, 1723 Monmouth Co, NJ Civil & Criminal Court Records Thomas COMBS is Sworn in as a Grand Jury member and “Robert COMBS appearing his Indictment was read to him to Which He Pleaded Guilty.” -held at Freehold

Oct. 23, 1723 Monmouth Co, NJ Civil & Criminal Court Records “Robert COMBS Called & Appeared, Upon Motion of Mr. GRANDIN for the King, The Court Gave Judgement against Robert COMBS According to the Act of Assembly & that he Stand Committed till he Pat his Find & Fees & Give Security (to Bear the Town Harmless) for the Maintenance of the Child.”

(Combs Researcher Kate C. DiBlassio who adds that 25 Oct 1723 minutes include several mentions of EMANS brothers)

March 7, 1725 Monmouth Co, NJ Civil & Criminal Court Records “Robert COMBS” “Called on their Recognisance & Appeared”.“…Thomas COMBS … Sworn & Sent to give Evidence to the Grand Jury”.

March 7, 1726 Monmouth Co, NJ Civil & Criminal Court Records “The Court Ordered that Robert COMBS pay to Mary SOLTAR Weekly Two Shillings per Week towards the Maintenance of His Child, Which the said Child is likely to be Chargeable to the Town & give Security for the Payment of the Same.”

Notes: Robert, s/o Thomas d 1724? name of child? Identity of Mary SOLTAR? Probably Robert COMBS, the “fornicator” of 1722 and father of a child by Anne COOK per 1723 records.

June 14, 1726 Monmouth Co, NJ Civil & Criminal Court Records “The Grand Jury Came into Court and brought in the following Indictments Viz.” “One agst Robert COMBS & Joseph EMANS for an Affray and then were dismissed.”

(Combs Researcher Kate C. DiBlassio who notes that in 1716, John (who is most likely Robert's uncle, sells a tract of land to John EMANS of Freehold.)

June 14, 1727 Monmouth Co, NJ Civil & Criminal Court Records Gerard EDGE brought a case against Robert COMBS for a debt of 30 pounds.

3 Oct 1727 Monmouth County Court records refer to John COMBS [sp.?] as a cordwinder [cordwainer] from Long Island [presumably Hempstead, Queens Co, Long Island, NY

(Combs Researcher Kate C. DiBlassio who adds that John is also found in 1730 Monmouth records)

April 22, 1729 Monmouth Co, NJ Civil & Criminal Court Records Thomas COMBS in Clerk's Court; Thomas was called upon his recognisance and appeared and two days later. The “Grand Jury Came into Court and brought in an Indictment against Robert COMBS for an assault.”

(Combs Researcher Kate C. DiBlassio who adds: I found no case involving Thomas (who in this case was probably Robert's brother since the father died in 1724) which leads me to believe that Thomas was posting bail or standing surity for Robert. Either that or Thomas got into trouble, too! I stopped at the records of 1732)

1731 Book H, p. 37. Robert COMBS to George WALKER [land inherited from his father, Thomas, in 1724] (Combs Researcher Kate C. Diblassio)

Date? Book H, pg 304; NJSA, Trenton, NJ. Jonathan COMBS to George WALKER land left him by his father, Thomas COMBS (1724 will)

Notes: Did either of these deeds indicate whether either Robert or Jonathan were married?

Notes: Robert is said to have been the same who was s/o Thomas COMBS d 1723, Monmouth, and h/o a Mary ROBERTS who m 1st Thomas MORRELL, d 1733. Martha COMBS (d/o Robert), b ca 1733, m Thomas COMBS, ancestry unknown. Seeking marriage sources.

Notes: Is this Jonathan s/o Thomas d 1724? See also Combs-Jolly Families of the Tonoloways Settlement (MD-PA).

Note: This is apparently the earliest record of a Combs in Old Tennant (Scots-Irish Presbyterian) Church Records. The same Jonathan who m 1741 Elizabeth REED?

Note: The source, “Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New Jersey: Vol. XXII, Marriage Records 1665-1800, William Nelson, Patterson, NJ: Press Printing and Publishing, 1900, p. 72,” lists Jonathan [sic] COMBS as having married Sarah TILTON. Not yet known which is correct?

KB Notes: Thomas COMBS died between June and October of 1757 in Upper Freehold. His wife, Keziah, was Thomas COMBS' second marriage, he having (probably) married Mary SHIPPEY in 1723, and may have married Sarah TINDALE in 1747 as well.

(A Historical Narrative of the Ely, Revell and Stacye Families by Reuben Pownall Ely, Copyright, 1910, by Fleming H. REVELL Company)

Notes: According to the above source, “George ELY, youngest son of John and Phebe (ALLISON) Ely, born July 26, 1756, sometimes referred to as “Col. George ELY,” died at “Burnt House Tavern,” Hunterdon County, New Jersey, in 1818. He married, first, Phebe COOMBS, daughter of John and Rebecca COOMBS of Upper Freehold, and, second, Elizabeth MOUNT, daughter of (???) and Rebecca MOUNT, mentioned in the latter's will dated October 10, 1796. It has been incorrectly stated that his first wife's name was Rebecca COOMBS, but this is a mistake as John COOMBS in his will dated 6 mo. 3, 1797, mentions his son-in-law, George ELY, and among his living daughters Rebecca COOMBS. Issue of George and Phebe (COOMBS) Ely: John ELY, married Rebecca CHAMBERLAIN, and was the father of William ELY, of Bordentown, N. J.; Mary HULSE, of Clarksburg, N. J., and George ELY, of Bordentown, N. J. George ELY, born September, 1781, married Mary MOUNT, and in 1804 removed to Clermont County, Ohio, and was the founder of the city of Batavia.”

No marriage has been located for George & Phoebe COMBS Ely as yet, nor do we have the 3 Jun 1797 (or 1798? - see below) will for John COMBS of Upper Freehold as yet.

May 1781 (Augusta VA Circuit Court Judgments - Causes Ended) COMBS vs. COMBS - OS1; NS 1 - “Robert COMBS died, May 1781, intestate leaving one son, Job; daughter Martha, wife of Thomas COMBS (Martha and Thomas lived in New Jersey). Job qualified Admr. in Shenandoah [Co, VA]. Mary & Thomas had a son, Gilbert. Job has removed to Tennessee & Solomon Van METER had effects in his hands.”

LAWRENCE Recorded: 10/9/1781.

Notes: This Robert COMBS is said to have been the s/o Thomas of Freehold, d 1723, which would place his birth at pre-1703 (Robert, s/o Thomas, appears to have been an adult at the time his father signed his will). It is not yet known when Robert left Monmouth Co, NJ, but he is in the records of Frederick Co, VA by 1763-1764. He is also said to have married Mary ROBERTS, widow of Thomas MORRELL (still seeking sources). This marriage had taken place by 1733 (the year of his daughter, Martha's birth per Old Tennet Church records, Births, Baptisms and Burials of Monmouth Co, NJ).
