Notes: Robert COMBS, b 18 Feb 1779, Loudoun Co, VA, d 6 May 1851, Morgan Co, OH?; m Nancy SEARS, b 13 Sep 1784, Loudoun Co, VA; d 18 Feb 1839, Morgan Co, OH. According to newspaper interview of their son, Burr Harrison COMBS (twin of Nimrod Ashby COMBS, both b in Loudoun in 1815), the family left Loudoun in 1825, first removed to Belmont OH where they spent some short time, and where the SEARS Family had previously located, then moved on to Morgan County. Both are buried in Noble Co, OH (est. from Morgan in 1851). Given Robert's own given name and that of his twin sons, he would appear to be kin to RW Robert COMBS, s/o Joseph COMBS II of Loudoun. See also Burr COMBS (b ca 1797) of Fauquier Co, VA, and note that the DAR Lineage of Sadie K. Combs (Vol. 111) incorrectly lists Robert, h/o Nancy SEARS as RW Robert COMBS.

13 Oct 1807. Loudon County Court Order Books. John LITTLEJOHN, Samuel MURRAY, John HARDING and John MCCORMACK to examine ... and settle the accounts of Obadiah CLIFFORD, Admr of Joseph COMBS, decd.

(Abstracted from courthouse copies by Combs Researcher Thom Mont who adds: Rev. John LITTLEJOHN married several of the descendants of Andrew COMBS I)

Notes: Which Joseph COMBS? Relationship of Obediah CLIFFORD to COMBS, if any? No Obediah CLIFFORD located on 1810 Census Index (but much of the Southern States 1810 is missing); however, an Elisabeth CLIFFERD [sic] is listed on p. 310 of the 1810 Loudoun Co, VA census (20010-20010-11). The nearest Combs listing is on p. 290 (Mahlon). A Marriage Index CD includes the 16 Sep 1799, Loudoun Co, VA marriage of Obediah CLIFFORD to Betsy COWPER.

According to The Combes Genealogy…, Joseph Combs II (s/o Joseph Combs I of Stafford) was a vestryman in Shelbourne Parish from 1771 to 1806, dying “shortly thereafter, around 1808;” however, it now appears possible that this may have been based on an erroneous assumption since Joseph last served as a vestryman in 1786 (See 1772 Shelburne Parish Vestry Notes).

According to the research of Bob Craig, James CRAIG's identified children were all born between 1759 and 1776.

1827 (Holmes Co, OH Estate Records) Joseph COMBS of Holmes Co., OH, died 1827, received into his estate “a dividend %” from the estate of Nathan BROWN of Loudoun Co. VA by executors of that estate named HOLMES & NICHOLS...

(Combs Researcher Bob Combs)

Notes: Prior to his move to Wayne (later Holmes) Co, OH in 1819, the above Joseph COMBS (s/o Andrew COMBS I of Tonoloways) was of Fayette Co, PA.

Undated in original, but probably ca 1823. Rec. ca 1832 Loudon County VA Deeds 1813-1833. B&S 3Y f 130 Andrew COOMBS Jr to Nathan BROWN'S heirs. Widow of Andrew, Jr., Mary. Chancery suit in which Mahlon, Israel and Joseph COMBS were defendants - property sold. Right of Andrew COMBS Jr in land devised by Andrew COMBS Sr 25 May 1773 1 undivided 6th part North Fork of Goose Creek. Also right of William COMBS, Edward BROWN and Patty COOMBS his wife, Edward COMBS, Viena COMBS, Jonas and Abigal (COMBS) Lucas, Mary, Lucinda COMBS, heirs of Andrew Jr.

Notes: Andrew COMBS, Jr. (deceased) was the s/o Andrew COMBS I of Tonoloways. It is not yet known when or where he died; however, it was prior to 11 Aug 1818 when his widow, Mary, consented to the Nelson Co, KY marriage of their daughter, Abigail COOMBS, to Jonah [sic] LUCAS. Andrew has not been identified in 1810 census yet, nor Mary and children found in 1820 as yet although it seems likely they were residing in or near Nelson Co, KY since on 1 May 1821 in Nelson, Mary (listed as widow of Andrew) consented to the marriage of her daughter, Mary COOMBS, to William COOMBS (Edward COOMBS, Bondsman). At some time between 1826 and 1830, William COMBS [sic] removed to Owen Co, IN where are also found the 1827 and 1829 marriage records of Vianna [sic] and Lucinda COMBS respectively (thus this record pre-1827). It is not yet known if the above-named William COMBS was the s/o Andrew, Jr. or his son-in-law (h/o daughter, Mary) since only one Mary COMBS (the widow?) is listed as an heir above. Important! Many past researchers, not having this record, have mistakenly assumed that Andrew, Jr. was the s/o Edward & Rebecca STILLWELL Coombs I of Tonoloways and Nelson.

Nathan BROWN, deceased, is identified as follows:

25 Feb 1823 Loudoun Co., VA Will Book R - page 181. Will of John BROWN of Loudoun Co, VA leaves all his estate to daughter-in-law Ann BROWN, except his interest on his brother William BROWN'S land & bonds. Everything to pass to her sons and his grandsons John Harrison BROWN & William Holmes BROWN, with cash payouts to his daughters Lydia POTTS, Elizabeth POTTS, & Hannah GREGG wife of Thomas GREGG... John HOLMES & Amer NICHOLS named Executors...Witnesses: Stephen KERRICK, John PURSEL, & Jesse HOGUE...... Codicil: If both grandsons named above should die before reaching age 21 that all to go to “my deceased son Nathan BROWN'S heirs and assigns".

June 9, 1828 the will was proved and recorded at Loudoun court on motion of Amer NICHOLS with Ann BROWN and William HOLMES his securities as bond.

(Abstracted by Combs Researcher Bob Combs who adds that: It appears this estate is the one which paid on behalf of Nathan BROWN to the estate of Joseph COMBS, Sr. in Wayne Co, OH for the purchase of land in Loudoun Co, VA per deed dtd. Oct. 17, 1823)
