| Combs &c. Families of Lancaster Co, Virginia |
|---|
Lancaster County was organized from Northumberland in 1651. Old Rappahannock County, VA was organized from Lancaster in 1656.
No Combs have been located in the pre-1651 records of Northumberland; and, in fact, no record of any Combs has been located in Lancaster county prior to 1664. We do know that most members of the Underwood &c. Families had removed to Lancaster from Isle of White by May of 1650:
22 May 1650 (Virginia Land Patent Book 2:213) SAME. [William UNDERWOOD, Gent.] 600 acs. in Rappa. Riv. beginning at a poynt nigh the mouth of Indian Creek, running N. E. by N. above land of Mr. James WILLIAMSON. Transp. of 12 persons: Wm MOSELEY, William UNDERWOOD 4 tymes, Mary his wife, Wm UNDERWOOD his son, Hebrt SUCCOR & ux, George BRYER, Joseph ROBINS, Elizabth PENN (or PRENN)
Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol. I, Nugent, P. 191)
Note: Additional records for the Underwood Families will be added shortly, particularly in regard to land transactions due to our Combs &c. Deed Mapping Project. The above is Col. William UNDERWOOD, his wife, Mary (BURTON? MOSELEY?), and their son, William UNDERWOOD, Sr. The above land became part of Old Rappahannock Co VA in 1656.
The earliest Combs record located in Lancaster County thus far is one record for an Enoch COOME who is believed to probably be Enoch COMBES, Sr. who removed to Maryland with wife, Barbary, and son, Enoch COMBES, Jr., by 1663:
01 Apr 1660 - 09 Nov 1664 (Lancaster D&W, p. 294) Be it known unto all men that I Adry HILL, widd., hath given unto Christopher KILBY one cow calf of 10 mos. old color black unmarked wth: the crop & underkeeled & 2 nicks right ear & left ear cropt & a peice taken of on the upper side of the ear & 2 small nicks on each side of the ears as witness my hand this 1 day of Apr 1660. Wit.ENOCH COOME, Jo: BOORMAN. s/Adry HILL. Recordat in court cum Lancaster Co Nono: Nov: 1664.
(Lancaster County, Virginia, Deeds & Wills, 1661-1702, Ruth & Sam Sparacio, The Antient Press, McLean, VA)
The identity of Adry HILL remains unknown. In 1680, one Abraham COMBS of St. Mary's County, but earlier of Old Rappahannock County, assigned his 100 acres (for transport of himself and daughter, Sarah), to a Clement HILL, husband of Elizabeth HATTON (widow of Luke GARDINER), who is of record in Old Rappahannock, but with no known connection to any HILLS in either county.
16 Jun 1662 (Lancaster VA PB4:308(422)) John ASHLEY, 240 A. N side Rappa. Riv. up on the head of Nanbypoyson (?) Cr. Trans of 7 pers: Jno. CONE, Jno. BOLTON, Jno. PRITCHET, Eliz. POORE, Jacob (a) Negro.
(C&PI:399)
It has not yet been determined whether or not John was a COME or CONE (See Virginia Land Records re Combs-Cones of Tabb Creek.
28 Jul 1662 (Lancaster - VA Land Patent book 4:310/425) John SIMPSON, 600 A. upon SE side of Moratticon Cr. & WSW upon land of Lambert LAMBERTON & Richard HATTON. Granted to Alexander POURTEOUS 6 Oct 1656 & assigned to sd. SIMPSON.
(Cavaliers & Pioneers, Nugent)
In St. Mary's County, Maryland, one William COMBES, possibly the son of Enoch, married Elizabeth HATTON, daughter of another Richard HATTON (deceased by 1650). See also Joseph Combs I of Stafford Co VA with a George SIMPSON.

Proved by Oath of Thomas WILKES and admitted to record. Teste John STRETCHLEY, Cl. Cur. (ibid.) The identity of John & Elizabeth (BECKWITH?) CUMES rmains unknown. It is possible that they were not COMBS, but if not, whom? They don't appear to be the CONES of Tabb Creek, and of course, they could be residents of England, New England, Maryland… anywhere. In regard to BECKINGHAM'S widow, Anne, and his sister and brother-in-law, John & Martha BURROUGHES, we do have some additonal information; to wit:
BECKINGHAM'S reference to St. Edmonds may have been to Bury St. Edmonds, Co Essex, England, a county where the Cammock/Rich & a number of other COMBS &c. Families are found.
BURROUGHS Researcher, M. Bignall, is currently attempting to prove/disprove whether John BURROUGHS, brother-in-law of BECKINGHAM, was the same John BURROUGHS who was, and had been for probably 20 years, of Lancaster Co VA. Her suspicion is that he & wife Martha went to (now) King & Queen Co VA before 1685, then to Pamunkey Neck, King Wm Co VA in 1686.
Robert BECKINGHAM'S wife, Elizabeth, was married at least five times. In 1671 she was mentioned ("Minutes of the Council and General Court of Colonial Virginia," McIIwaine) as having a kinsman "Mr. PURIFY," possibly Thomas PURIFOY Jr of Elizabeth City Co. Her husbands:
Note: See Also Giles CALE of King George Co VA & FUGATES
Thomas PURIFOY, Jr. was s/o Thomas & Lucy RANSOM Purifoy, Sr., and his sister, Frances PURIFOY m (1) William LOWERY; (2) Richard HAND. Her children by both husbands married into the BOOKER Family of York, Gloucester, Essex and Amelia Cos VA who are found with the John & George COMBS of the latter county.
