Washington County was first Washington District, then Washington County, and originally comprised all of Tennessee (except along the Virginia State Line - see Earliest Combs to TN), and was the parent county of most of early East Tennessee, created by an act of NC general assembly on 18 Dec 1777, organized 23 Feb 1778.
The following series of records appear to be those of a John COMBS (probably Tory) of the Mason COMBS, Sr. line who removed from Surry NC to Greenville SC:
10 Nov 1784 (Washington Co, Tennessee Deed Book 3, pp. 148-9, copied from “Old Book A” starting with page 311) John THOMAS to Joseph MELVEN; 150 acres on the south side of Nobb Creek. Cons: 150 lbs. For: NC to John CALLEHAM 10 Nov. 1784; CALLEHAM to THOMAS. Sig: John THOMAS. Wit: Charles DUNCAN, John COMBS. (Washington Co, Tennessee Deeds 1775-1800, abstracted ed by Loraine Rae)
20 Sep 1787 (Greenville Co., S. C. DB A:213-214) Power of Attorney. Sept. 20, 1787. I, John COMBS of Washington Co., N. C. [now East TN], appoint my trusty and well beloved friend John MOLIN of Greenville Co., S. C., Gent., my true and lawful attorney, and in my name to sell, etc., a tract of land lying on Beaverdam Creek on the W. side of the N. fork of Saluda River, joining the lands of William GUDLOW, sd. land being surveyed by James SEABORN for sd. John COMBS, containing 400 acres. s/John COMBS. Wit: Allen GOWEN, John GOWEN. Rec. Feb. 20, 1788 (Some South Carolina County Records, Vol. 2. Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr., Editor)
09 Feb 1788 (Washington TN Deed Book 3, pp. 150-151). William McBEE to Samuel DENTON; 152 acres on Knob Creek. Cns: 100 bs. Adj: John CARR, GRESHAM, GIBSON. Sig: William McBEE. Wit: Thomas GIBSON, John CARR, John CARR Jun'r. (Some South Carolina County Records, Vol. 2. Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr., Editor)
19 Jan 1789 (Washington Co, Tennessee Deeds) Joseph DUNCAN of “Granville Co SC” to James MELVIN, 320 A on Boone's Creek. NC Grant to DUNCAN dated 10 Nov 1784. (Combs-Duncan Researcher Gloria Bogart Carter)
06 Aug 1789 (Washington TN Deed Book 3, pp. 151-3) 8/6/1789. John CALLIHAM-(& CALAHAM & CALLAHAM) of Greenville County, SC, his NC grant of 10 Nov. 1784 to Samuel DENTON; 150 acres on the south side of Nob Creek. CONS: 100 lbs. SIG: John CALLAHAM. Wit: Charles DUNCAN, JohnCOMBS. (Some South Carolina County Records, Vol. 2. Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr., Editor)
Notes: The above John COMBS has not yet been specifically identified; however, the company he keeps is illuminating: Charles DUNCAN was the s/o Marshall DUNCAN - both are found in the records of Surry Co, North Carolina where in 1774, Marshall DUNCAN tithed himself and Joel and John CALLAHAM. Charles' son, Joseph DUNKLIN [sic], is found on the 1790 Greenville SC Census. Also in Surry Co NC were the COMBS-GOING-RIDGE Families where one John GOWEN was brother-in-law to William RIDGE, Sr., h/o Winnifred COMBS (d/o Mason COMBS, Sr.). How the GOANS/GOING/GOWAN/GUINN (etc.) were kin to William RIDGE, Sr. is not yet known, but that this John COMBS was earlier from Surry NC, and a member of Mason COMBS Family seems almost certain - the main question being which John COMBS? See Also Greenville Co SC and Gloria Bogart Carter's Duncan Families. Also note that this John COMBS was probably close kin to Nicholas COMBS, Sr. of Shenandoah Co, Virginia and Sullivan Co, Tennessee. See also (another? the same?) John COMBS on the 1788 Sullivan Co, Tennessee Militia List of Capt. Thomas VINCENT of Washington Co, Tennessee. Also note that there was significant movement in SC between Spartanburg and Greenville Cos. Joel CALLAHAM is on the 1790 Spartanburg SC Census whereas DUNCANS are on the 1790 Greenville Census. However, in 1789 in Spartanburg, William HAMMETT deeded property to John DUNCAN with five acres reserved for Mary McBEE. (See Also Hammett Families)
5 Nov 1787 (WC-COMB1:296) Jury empaneled that included Solomon Combs and Thomas DENTON.

Notes: This Solomon COMBS m 11 Jan 1781 in Shenandoah Co, VA, Elizabeth MARR. He was the s/o Job COMBS of Monmouth Co NJ and Shenandoah Co VA, and d bef 1793, possibly in Greene Co, TN.
(C/F__) 1787 (SC-COMB1:316) Court ordered the suit Benj COBB vs Edward CALLAHAN be set for trial tomorrow morning.

#336 John COMBS
(Extracted by Combs Researcher Wayne Combs from Tennessee Ancestors, Vol 5, 2 Aug 1989, page 100)
03 Sep 1788 (Washington Co, Tennessee Marriage Bonds) Thomson (or Thompkins) ODDLE marr Abigail COMBS 3 Sep 1788. bondsman: Jacob TIPTON. (Extracted By Combs Researcher Gloria Bogart Carter from ODELL: LOST AND FOUND membership Murray C. Combs, 1025 Sharon Dr., Glen Burniem MD 21061).
Notes: This marriage record has been transcribed variously as both Thomson (Thompson) and Thompkins and Thompkin, and other records have been located showing given name spelled both ways. He was the s/o Caleb & Alice (THOMPSON? THOMPKINS?) Odell (a.k.a. O'DELL) from Shenandoah Co, Virginia. Abigail COMBS is thought to have been the same who was d/o Job & Deborah UNKNOWN Combs of Shenandoah Co, Virginia. See also Thompkins ODELL of Brimstone Creek, Jackson County, Tennessee in 1816.
9 Feb 1790 (WC-COMB1:430) List of men appointed the view the best way for a road...includes road from Indian Ridge to Sullivan County line near the mouth of Wautagua....and to make returns to the next court....The list included, among others, William DENTON Sr, Samuel DENTON, John Combs, John MELVIN

Notes: This John Combs not identified.
27 Aug 1800 (Washington Co, Tennessee DB6:571-2) McSemelian/McSamelion/McMillion RECTOR, of Jefferson Co. to John RHEA[RAY], Sullivan Co; 180 acs on Big Limestone; cons $300; adj. Andrew THOMPSON; sig McMillion [x] RECTOR; wit: Thily COMBS, James NOLAN. (Washington Co, Tennessee Deeds 1775-1800, Abstracted by Loraine Rae, SHP, Easley SC, 1991)
Note: Possibly Philip COMBS? No other Thily found elsewhere. See Maximilian [sic] RECTOR on 1800 Jefferson Co, Tennessee Tax List (Capt. Brazelton's Returns) with John COMBS.
Michael STARR
(Index to Early Tennessee Tax Lists, Sistler and Associates, Nashville, TN)
Notes: See Michael STAR [sic] on 1812 and 1814 Sullivan County, Tennessee tax lists. In 1809 RW William COMBS, who served in a Wilkes Co, North Carolina militia unit, arrived in Sullivan County, Tennessee from Charlotte Co VA. He died in 1816; and afterward, his widow, Michal TRAYLOR (a 2nd wife) removed to Washington County, Tennessee, possibly the result of her re-marriage to Michael STAIRE [STARR?]. Note also, however, that in 1830, Michael STARR is on Jefferson County, Tennessee Census.
20 Jun 1816 (Washington Co, Tennessee Marriage Records) COMBS, Betsy marr. STAR, David (File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives)
08 Feb 1817 (Washington Co, Tennessee Marriage Records) COMBS, Sarah marr. STAR, John (File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives)
Notes: Could the above be an instance of step-siblings marrying? Children of Michael STARR marrying children of RW William COMBS? See 1830 Jefferson Co, TN Census for David & Betsy COMBS Star and Michael & Michal TRAYLOR (Combs) Star. John STAR not found in 1830; however, see Sarah STARE of 1820 Williamson TN?
Not Extant.
19 Nov 1822 (Washington Co, Tennessee Marriage Records) COMBY, [Judah*] Judy married IRVIN, George (File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives) *Sistler
Notes: Was there a COMBY or COMBAY family in Washington Co, Tennessee or was Judy neè COMBS?
5-6 Sep 1827 William COMBS to Nancy CONKIN md 6 Sep 1827 by Nathan SHIPLEY J.P. (Extracted by Combs Researcher Debi Kendrick from Washington County Tennessee Marriages 1780-1870 by Goldene Fillers Burger)
Notes: See the 1838 Washington Co, Tennessee will of John ROCK re his daughter, Caty (a.k.a. Kitty) CONKLIN [sic], granddaughter, Nancy COMBS, and grandson, John Washington COMBS; and the Bible record of William K. COMBS, s/o William and Nancy CONKLIN Combs. Could the above William COMBS have been the son of RW William and Michal TRAYLOR (or TAYLOR) Combs of Wilkes Co NC, Charlotte Co, Virginia and Sullivan Co, Tennessee? Despite his death in Sullivan Co, Tennessee in 1816, it appears, based on her RW Pension Application that his widow afterward resided in Washington Co, Tennessee, not Sullivan. Based on proximity to John ROCK on the 1830 census, William & Nancy CONKIN (Conklin? Conkin?) Combs appear to be the following:

28 Jul 1838 - 09 Dec 1838 RW Soldier John ROCK, Continental & VA Line, applied 27 May 1818 in Washington Co, TN aged 64, enlisted in Augusta Co, Virginia, in 1820 had wife & 7 children who had left him[?]. A copy of his will is in the file dated 28 Jul 1838 in Washington County, Tennessee in which he names his wife Nanch [sic] and at her death the stock & perishables to be sold & the money divided equally between “my Caty CONKLIN'S children” & that Jane DICKESON should live with his wife Nancy during her life (as written), sol had m Nancy BRYAN (also referred to as O'BRIEN) daughter of John BRYAN then dec'd & Rachel BRYAN on 1 Jul 1789 or 1790 in Washington Co, Virginia & in that year they moved with her sis Katharine & her mother Rachel BRYAN to Ross' Iron Works in Sullivan Co, TN.

Notes: Jamichal STARR appears to have been Michal TRAYLOR Combs Starr (b 1778) with what appears to be her unmarried daughter, Martha (by Michael STARR). The above are William & Nancy CONKLIN Combs. Is it coincidence that he named a son, Elijah COMBS, given Elijah COMBS, Sr. of Perry Co, Kentucky? Catherine H. possibly named after Catherine ROCK Conklin. Michael possibly namesake of Michael STARE/STARR? The other children? Is the above Martha STARR daughter or wife of Jamichael? Was Jamichael male or female? (no marriage record found). Is the above Martha STARR the same who was daughter of Michal TRAYLOR Combs Starr? (See 1855 below) Neither David & Betsy COMBS Star or John & Sarah COMBS Star have been located after 1830.
