Humphreys County was established in 1809 from Stewart Co, TN and expanded due to acquisition of Indian lands over subsequent years. Benton Co, TN was est. from Humphreys in 1835-6, and it appears that some of the Combs of Humphreys were the same who were later in Benton Co, TN.

Census Records re-verified by researcher George Baumbach (01/03/02) from microfilm of census record. Entry reads as Thomas COMBER. Bentley Index showed Thomas COMBES as Thomas COMBER, but AIC as COMBES)
Notes: The above Thomas Combs has been tentatively identified as the son of Thomas RIDGE (and wife Elizabeth Belcher - name from family tradition) a.k.a. Thomas Ridge McGEE and half-brother to William RIDGE, Sr., h/o Winnifred Combs, d/o Mason Combs, Sr. of Surry Co, NC (See Estate file of William RIDGE). According to his RW Pension File, Thomas Ridge McGEE (aka RIDGE aka MAGEE) was born 17 Feb 1749 in what later became Randolph Co, NC (Granville, Orange, Rowan, Guilford), He was living with his half-brother, William RIDGE [h/o Winnifred Combs] in Surry Co, NC prior to the war, but was residing in Pittsylvania Co, VA when he first enlisted in Baltimore Co, MD. In his RW pension application he stated that he later enlisted in Burke Co, NC & that after his service he returned to VA "for a short time" then moved to Stokes Co, NC (Stokes org from Surry in 1789) where he married & lived for several years. He moved to TN about 1793 [See 1804 Davidson Co, TN and 1820 Hickman Co, TN], and in 1823 he moved to Humphreys Co, TN where he filed for his pension on 28 Oct 1833 (RW Pension File No. S4194, White's Abstracts).
Elizabeth REAVES was likely a daughter of Thomas RIDGE McGEE. A marriage bond for Elizabeth RIDGE to Jonathan REAVES was executed on 1807 January 30 in Davidson Co, TN. A Burton Jordan was listed immediately between Thomas Ridge and Elizabeth Reaves, yet his identity and relationship is unclear. However, Thomas and Elizabeth Belcher RIDGE named a son Burton Jordan RIDGE. Also note the presence of Jordan Reaves Jr and Sr.
Notes: Thomas McGee RIDGE'S reference to Pittsylvania Co VA and see 1795 marriage there of one Labon [sic] Combs and Margaret "Peggy" HARRIS. Neither the above Thomas Combs, nor the younger Thomas RIDGE, is found on the 1830 Humphreys Co, Tennessee Census. Thomas Ridge and Elizabeth Belcher had moved to Jackson Co., AL, prior to moving on to Marion Co., TN.

William RIDGE married Telpha SHIVERS 21 March 1815 Davidson Co., TN. William is a possible son of Thomas RIDGE, aka Thomas RIDGE McGEE, half-brother of William RIDGE, Tory, and wife Winnifred COMBS. Jonathan REAVES in the 1840 census is too young to be the Jonathan REAVES who married Elizabeth RIDGE.
