William PENN'S Colony was established in 1681 and in 1682, Philadelphia became one of Pennsylvania's original counties. In 1752, Berks Co PA was established from Cumberland, Lancaster, Philadelphia and non-county area; and in 1784, Montgomery Co PA was established from Philadelphia.
The earliest Combs were in Philadelphia by 1686 (religion not known), and by 1709, Quaker Combs had arrived.

SE Notes: Could this be John Coombe the HATTER from Philadelphia who had a son named Moses and a daughter Martha, wife of Peter Bizaillon? See below records and those in Chester Co, PA. Living in the city would fit with having the profession of a Hatter. If so, this John Comb is buried in the churchyard adjoining St. John's Church in Pequea town of Compass. John died Sept. 12, 1736 aged 78 years and therefore born c1658.

13 May 1773 Christ Church, Philadelphia. Rev. Thomas COOMB & Sarah BADGER
Extracted by Combs Researcher Debi Kendricks from Records of Pennsylvania Marriages Prior to 1810 by Baltimore Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc. 1987
Notes: According to Watson's Annals of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, 1857, Vol. I, Chapter 44, Christ Church (Written 1830-1850): “The Rev. Thomas COOMBE, the Rector, resigned his place and took refuge with the British in New York because he could not swear allegiance to the new government of the States; on that occasion Doctor Wm. WHITE was made his successor. It was from the family of Mr. COOMBE, I believe, that we have derived the name of Coombe's alley. He was an American, and much esteemed.” According to Alumni Cantabrigienses (Alumni of Cambridge University, England), Thomas COOMBE was a close associate of Benjamin FRANKLIN, a fact apparently supported by the following anecdote:
Thomas COOMBE, Jr., an old friend of Dr. FRANKLIN, visited the FRANKLIN residence in Philadelphia frequently. Arriving one day, Thomas discovered Benjamin wearing only a single cap, rather than his usual double one that he wore to keep his head warm. When Thomas inquired why, FRANKLIN responded that his “Head grew warm.” In jest, Thomas replied, “Dr. FRANKLIN was never accounted hot-headed.” FRANKLIN, with his sharp wit, insisted on having the last word and said, “Aye but nature seems to think so, for she is taking all the Hair off my Head.”

Notes: Also note the 1768 reference to Thomas COOMBE, Jr. Were Rev. Thomas and Thomas, Jr. the same? See also 1790 below re more Combs and Benjamin Franklin.

Notes: s/o whom?
pre-1790 Philadelphia? — According to the obituary of Theodore Sutton COMBS, b 1844 in Romney, Hampshire Co, VA, d 1931, s/o John Joseph COMBS, Jr. (1813-1900): “…Major [Theodore Sutton] Combs' father, J. J. COMBS, at the time of his death in Romney, was the oldest printer in the United States, having learned the trade from his father [unnamed], who was at one time an employee of Benjamin FRANKLIN.”
(published 22 Jul 1931 in The Herald-Dispatch)
Notes: Benjamin FRANKLIN d in 1790, thus if the above report is accurate, the father of John Joseph Combs, Jr., was employed by FRANKLIN prior to that date (although not necessarily in Philadelphia). According to some researchers (their sources unknown), John Joseph Combs was the s/o a William Henry Harrison Combs of Fauquier Co, VA (no record found of an early William, Henry or Harrison in that county); however, note also that at least one record lists John Joseph Combs as a Jr. (to whom?). John Joseph Combs was a resident of Romney, Hampshire Co, VA by at least 1823 (age 10), at which time there was a Joseph Combs in that county (unidentified as yet). See also Combs Printers. Question: Are Philadelphia Apprenticeships extant?

Notes: Gilbert COMBS operated the Combs Conservatory of Music, and was christened 14 Jun 1814, Old Tennent Church, Monmouth Co, NJ, s/o Robert & Mary COMBS. See the James COMBS Family Archives. This is Gilbert and first wife [Mabell Alcott KING? Source?]. By 1859, he was married to Jane UNKNOWN per her 1863 letter to her brother-in-law, James COMBS, in which she stated “R. Lorton is tall and thin resembles his mother in countenance but is also a Combs in some respects…Joseph K. is in the country about 25 miles from here learning to farm. He is a fine boy, now eighteen years of age and resembles his Father very much. Mary R. is thirteen.” Robert Lorton [sic], Joseph K. and Mary R. (Mary Ranolds) COMBS (born ca 18950?) were her stepchildren, all named in this same letter. Robert Lorton was apparently(?) the Robert M. above.
