(From DeKalb Co, Tennessee GenWeb Coordinator Darrell Spencer who adds that most of the 4th District of DeKalb was originally Smith County, with possibly the southern corner of DeKalb's 4th district having been part of Warren Co.)
Notes: No Combs were on the 1830 census for either White or Smith Counties. In Warren County, Tennessee in 1830 was a "mystery" John Combs, but the female in his household was only 20-30 years of age, and none of the other names surrounding his on the 1830 record appear to match any of the above. Moreover, the above Jenkins GREAR [GREER?] (others not checked) appears on the 1830 Smith TN Census.
Aug 1849 DeKalb County. Died: Combs, Mary, 5, born IN. Cause: scarlet fever
(Extracted by Researcher Jean JLWLRob from "TN Mortality Schedules" by Sistler , and from 1850-1880 Mortality Schedules, CD, by Combs Researcher Pat Orton, which lists Mary as female).

Virginia F. 5 W F TN
Stephen H. COLMS 35 W M Lawyer NY
Harriet B. 31 W F OH
(1850 Dekalb Co. TN census transcribed by Jorene Washer Parsley)
Notes: Mary Combs who d in Aug 1849 may have been a child of Stephen H. and Harriet B. [HEAL?] Combs, or Stephen's family may have just been boarders, given his birth location.
Also Note: The Census Index lists what is apparently the above Stephen H. COLMS as Stephen COMB. Harrison O. T. HEAL may be the H. O. T. NEAL on p. 282 of the 1820 Warren Co, Tennessee Census. See White County Dec 1861 RE: Combs' Battalion and according to Goodspeeds, for several years after the close of the Civil War, among the attorneys of White County, Tennessee were one S. H. Combs.

Combs, Elizabeth 59 VA
Caroline 23 SC
(1850 Census - Tennessee, transcribed and indexed by Byron & Barbara Sistler, Evanston, IL, 1974, Byron Sistler & Associates, Inc., Nashville, TN, 1991 reprint.)
Notes: Assuming the South Carolina birth is accurate, the earliest that these (unidentified) Combs could have arrived in Middle TN would have been 1827; however, see also above.
