Auglaize County was formed in 1848 from Allen, Darke, Hardin, Logan, Mercer, Shelby and Van Wert counties. The county seat, Wapakoneta, was originally an Indian village settled in 1780 by the Shawnee upon their expulsion from the Piqua towns. St. Marys (Girtys Town) at the western edge of the county was actually the Mercer county seat for several years earlier.

BC Note: This second Joseph Combs (in b and c above) is the son of Micajah Combs, believed to have been the same who was earlier from Franklin Twp., Fayette Co, PA?, and who is known to have been the same who was in Montgomery Co, OH and Randolph Co., IN. Joseph, s/o Micajah, later d in Shelby County. These estate papers connect Joseph B. Combs, Jr. (the deceased) both to the land in Holmes Co, OH and to the estate file in Holmes Co., OH for Joseph Combs his father [Sr.]. Reminder: Joseph B. Combs, Jr.'s fathers estate collected $$$ from Leesburg, Loudoun Co, Virginia (See Holmes Co, OH).

Also Note: Although Joseph B. Combs, Jr. d intestate, his estate papers included receipts for his care by Elijah HUTSON & his wife (Margaret Combs), while the administrator was Solomon HUTSON (h/o Elizabeth Combs). These records, in conjunction with earlier census records (1830 and 1840) are the basis for the determination (implied) that Margaret and Elizabeth were older daughters of Joseph B. Combs, Jr. whose wife, Keziah BRADLEY d between 1840 and 1850 (year and location not known. Ditto for burial place). A secondary source (not yet documented) for the Combs-HUDSON wives having been Joseph B.'s daughters is a 1923 Hist. of Auglaize Co, OH, pg.440, listing as the mother of Albert HUDSON, " “Margaret Combs born in Wooster, in Wayne Co” (actually maybe Holmes Co). Also note that this settlement did not include real estate inherited by Hamilton Combs.
