Jackson County was formed from Smith County, Tennessee in 1801, the latter established in 1799 from Sumner County, Tennessee, one of the original Middle TN Counties. County and State Lines were often fluid over the years, and Jackson one of the most fluid since it was adjacent to Monroe Co, Kentucky (See Below), Indian Lands, and the Military Reservation (land reserved for NC Rev. War Soldiers). Border disputes between TN and KY were not ultimately resolved until 1820 and as will be seen, some Tennessee Combs became Kentucky Combs during that period of adjustment. In 1806, Overton Co was established from Jackson, and White Co from Jackson and Smith Cos, with Warren from White in 1807. In 1824, Fentress was established from Overton, and in 1837-8, DeKalb was established from Cannon, Smith, Warren and White, with Van Buren established from Warren and White in 1840. Clay Co, Tennessee was established from Jackson and Overton in 1870, consisting of northern segments of both counties, and thus also on the state line.
Whether the early Combs of early Jackson County, Tennessee were all of one family is not known yet. There appear to have been at least two groups:
Note: Watch for Updates. These Records & Transcriptions are still in the process of being annotated by the Combs Research Group.
The following consists of both a chronology of Combs & Combs-Associated records in Jackson County, Tennessee… unfortunately a very brief chronology since it appears that most Combs &c. Families ended up in Monroe Co, Kentucky or White Co, TN when those counties were organized and/or state boundaries changed. Land records herein are, for that reason, minimal, and instead found in either of the above two reports or in the later counties of record.
Note: Most of these records were extracted and annotated by Combs-Cody-Johnson-Ridge-Stacy Researchers George Baumbach, Barbara Stacy Mathews and C. Hammett from Land Entries From "Building Neighborhoods, Jackson County, Tennessee, Prior to 1820. Abstractions from Record Group 50, Early Land records, Tennessee State Library and Archives" by Betty Huff Bryant, 1992. Format: (Book/Page/Entry Number) Organization and land location notes are by George Baumbach.
No Combs by that spelling, although it is possible that one Samuel COMBLES was miswritten by either the tax collector or transcriber. A Samuel Combs may have been a McFarlin Creek [a.k.a. McFarland] Combs (See Below), and see also Jefferson Co, TN re a Samuel Combs of Indian Creek. It is also possible that the 1802 Jackson Co, Tennessee list was incomplete, and/or that some records are in KY.
10 Nov 1813 War of 1812. Deserted. Combs, John, Pvt., TN Militia, Capt. Bailey BUTLER'S Company, Col. John K. WINN'S Regt., Infantry; deserted . (Tennesseans of the War of 1812, transcribed and indexed by Byron & Samuel Sistler, Byron Sistler & associates, Inc., Nashville, TN, 1992)
Notes: The above John Combs has not been identified. One Balie BUTLER is listed on the 1820 Jackson Co, Tennessee Census, p. 3. Not known if same. No Bailey BUTLER found in early TN Tax Lists as yet; however, see several Bailey/Balie BUTLER/BUTLARS below.
Corrected from a digital image provided by John German, previous data indicated thusly.
P. 4:
Stacy, Biram: 000010-30010 00200
(3 in agriculture)
Stacy, John: 200101 200010 -01100
(2 in agriculture)
STACY, Anne: 300000-21030 2133(or 0)1
(5 in agriculture)
Notes: Although the stats are off for Anne STACY (1 female too young), it is believed possible that she was Ann Combs, widow of Benjamin STACY, and her sons, Biram and John, and their families. The enumeration of females in this particular Jackson Co. census is confusing due to the break/crease in the pages; therefore, a personal review of this record is recommended for anyone researching these families.

Nathaniel ALLEN: 011001-1000100001
Although it is not known when or where Winnifred Combs Ridge Allen died, it is possible that (a) she had a son, Nathaniel, by Nathan ALLEN, and (b) was living in his 1830 Jackson Co, TN census household. Important! This is totally speculative, but being actively researched since Nathaniel ALLEN'S household included: 1 male born 1790-1799; 1 male born 1815-1819; 1 male born 1820-1824; 1 female born 1800-1809; 1 female born 1825-1830, and 1 female born 1750-1759. Not found in 1820. See also Combs Land of Caney Fork.

Martin and Sarah Combs Johnson came to Middle TN sometime between 1802 and 1803 from Hawkins County, Tennessee where Martin JOHNSON'S last appearance in the records of that county was in 1802 when he witnessed a land trust for Mason Combs, husband of Dorothy, and father of Simon Combs, born 1785, NC, and Jeremiah Combs, b 1788, VA, both of whom had, by 1808-1810, joined Martin and Sarah Combs Johnson in Warren County, Tennessee (the relationship between Sarah, born 1779 in NC, and this family has not yet been determined, other than that it was close). Although not yet documented, it is believed highly probable that Mason Combs of Hawkins Co, Tennessee was the same who was born 21 Feb 1746/7 in Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co, Virginia, son of Mason & Sarah Combs, Sr., b 1714, Richmond Co, Virginia; d 1785, Surry Co, North Carolina. William RIDGE was the son of William RIDGE, Sr. of Surry Co, North Carolina who d 1780, Battle of Hanging Rock, SC, and Winnifred Combs (who m (2) Nathan ALLIN), born 14 May 1749 in Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co, Virginia, daughter of the same Mason and Sarah Combs, Sr. mentioned above. William RIDGE, Jr.'s property is further identified by the following record:
Among those who were near neighbors of Martin & Sarah Combs Johnson & William RIDGE, Jr. (s/o Winnifred Combs Ridge Allen); i.e., their property was adj. to either JOHNSON or RIDGE or to each other, were: Benjamin BLACKBURN, James COOK, John CHRISTIAN (a.k.a. CHRISTY), Thomas GILLIHAN, William GOODWIN, John LANCASTER, Robert LEE, Dempsey POWELL, Elifees ROBESON, Col. James ROULSTON, Duke SKELTON, William SMITH, James VANCE, Chesley WHEELER, Joel WILSON, with each having been referenced as "lived there."
William RIDGE was still in Surry Co, North Carolina as late as 1797 when he m Sarah HORN, and is next found in White County, Tennessee (although his property holdings continued to include Jackson, Smith and White Cos, TN). Martin JOHNSON is found in Smith County, Tennessee as early as 1803 with 320 acres on "Indian Creek." That confusion in regard to county lines existed is further evidenced by the fact that in 1808 and 1809, Martin JOHNSON, with 320 A. on the Caney Fork, was listed as a tax delinquent in Jackson Co, Tennessee. He is next found in 1812 in Warren County, Tennessee (just across the river from William RIDGE, Jr.).
