(Extracted by Combs Researcher Jeff Duvall from Fauquier Families, 1759-1799: Comprehensive indexed abstracts of Tax and Tithable Lists, Marriage Bonds and Minute, Deed, and Will Books, and Others by John P. Alcock (Athens, GA: Iberian Publishing Company, 1994))
Note: See 1758 Frederick Co, VA Record re Joseph Combs (II) "cohabitating in fornification with Sarah ASHBY. That record and the above are probably the basis for the belief that Joseph had a "natural son" named Robert. Based on his place of birth and earlier residences, this would appear to have probably been RW Robert Combs who was born in and resided in the same counties (Frederick and Loudoun) as Joseph Combs II until his move to Fauquier.

SE Note: I do not seem to have a List C or else there were no Combs &c on the list. I made no note on my abstracts. Also, the abstracts stop in my records at 1790 although my notes indicate the film covered years 1782-1796. I may have just stopped abstracting since my focus at the time was on other families.

Additional Combs-Related records from the 1810 Fauquier Co, VA Census:

abt 1811 Fauquier Co, VA. Born: William H. COMBS (1880 Jackson County, WV census)
Notes: According to some past researchers (seeking original source), the above William Henry Combs was the s/o a William Henry Harrison Combs, a printer, of Fauquier Co, VA. The 1880 Jackson Co, WV Census also lists William Henry's wife, Sarah, b abt 1817, as having been b in Fauquier, and these same researchers identify her as neè FLOWEREE. This William Henry Harrison Combs is thought to have possibly have also been the father of John Joseph Combs, printer, of Romney, Hampshire Co, VA (WV). Thus far, no record of any William Henry Harrison Combs has been located in Fauquier (or anywhere else). The only William Combs found in Fauquier Co, VA during this time period is the following.

BR Notes: I am not sure if the spelling errors were original or were made by the copier. Mrs. Opal Combs continued in her letter to me: "… no mention is made of John Combs III nor the daughter Helan. According to Col. Brooke Payne's Paynes of Virginia, Benj. PAYNE married (1) Susannah ROUSSEAU; and (2) Helen Combs, by whom he had 5 children: Elizabeth PAYNE who married her cousin James Combs 21 Dec 1819 Fauquier Co., Va; Jane PAYNE who married Silas BRYANT 19 July 1825 Fauquier Co.; Betty PAYNE who m. Elijah THORNBERRY; and William PAYNE. The Payne book, which I have not read, also mentions that Helen had a sister Mrs. CALAMORE. I wonder if she was meant to be CUMMINS and misread? Susannah ROUSSEAU Payne's sister, Margaret, married Ennis Combs."
Ed Notes: Sarah LUTTRELL, widow of John Combs, Jr. Of her children: Elizabeth Combs m 27 Jan 1800, Fauquier, John HOPPER; Nimrod m (1) 12 Nov 1791, Fauquier, Elizabeth Kenner MARKHAM, who was deceased by Sep 1832 (Mason Co, KY Records); Hetheland apparently m a CUMMINGS, but which? Sarah's marriage to CUMMINGS not located. Was Julia her daughter? Witness David Wickliffe Combs was s/o William Rousseau and Sarah WICKLIFFE Combs.

But, if the money arising from the sale of my land and perishable property be not sufficient to supply or make up that difference to them, then in that event, I desire that any further sum that may be necessary for that purpose, may be raised out of the future increase of the female slaves devised to my daughters proportionably, all the balance of my estate of whatever nature or kind it may be, I desire to be equally divided among all my children.
