Russell County was organized from Washington Co VA in 1786; Lee Co was established from SW Russell in 1792-3; Tazewell from Russell and Wythe in 1799; and Scott from Russell, Lee and Washington in 1814-5. In 1855, Wise was formed and in 1858, Buchanan (In 1880, Dickenson was formed from Wise and Buchanan). Kentucky lay to the East and Tennessee to the South. Important! Due to VA/TN state line boundary conflicts, Sullivan Co, TN records should also be checked.
Although both the 1787 and 1788 tax lists are extant for Russell, the earliest Combs-by-Surname are not found in Russell Co VA until 1789. In 1787, however, we find Combs-Associated families who provide "clues" to where the early Combs lived - since the 1787 personal property tax lists were ordered by location:

Notes: Mason Combs of the 1789 tax list and Meshek Combs of the 1790 tax list are believed to have been the same (Combs-Stacy researcher Barbara Stacy Mathews has documented that the two given names are interchangeable in her STACY Family Research). It is not yet known which Mason Combs he was; i.e., Mason Combs, Jr., b 21 Feb 1746/47, Stafford Co VA, s/o Mason & Sarah Combs, Sr. of Richmond, Stafford & Frederick Cos VA & Surry Co NC - who may have been the same as Mason Combs (Jr.?) of Hawkins Co TN; or possibly the Mason Combs who m 29 Jan 1793 in Wythe Co VA to Jane "Jennie" RICHESON, and who later d in Perry Co KY, probably the s/o John Combs d 1820, Floyd Co KY, who is thought to have been an undocumented elder son of Mason Combs, Sr. Also on the 1790 Russell Co VA Tax List, Upper District, is Bean SMALLWOOD (served with RW William Combs of Shenandoah Co, VA; both later in Bath Co KY); William THOMPSON and others…

(Russell Co VA Tax Lists, GenWeb)
Notes: It appears that no Combs were actually residing in Russell Co VA at this time (assuming they weren't either missed by the tax collector and/or in the Lower District, for which personal property tax list is missing), but now we have, in addition to William Combs' 300 acres, 100 acres acquired by John Combs. See Combs Land of Cedar Creek in regard to John Combs Also. According to Robert M. Addington's "History of Scott County, Virginia," 1932: "Dorton's Fort was located on the Combs farm, about one mile southeast of Nickelsville. It seems to have been built sometime about the year 1790…" (Irwin-Johnson Researcher Max Irwin) It is not clear if Addington's reference to the Combs Farm is to a farm in 1790 or to one in 1932. However, based on the above, at least two Combs Farms may have been in Upper District Russell Co, VA at this time, although neither appear to have been in that part which became Scott Co.

The Apr 1843 Affidavit of Sarah Ann VARVELL [neè HANKS?], aged "fifty years past," declares she has resided in Edgar past seven years, and has known Sarah Ann MILLION Combs since earliest recollection of her childhood, that she first became acquainted the said Sarah Ann Combs in Russell County Virginia [placing Sarah in Russell Co VA pre-1793]. It is not known with whom Sarah Ann MILLION Combs might have resided during her stay in Russell Co VA. Sarah Ann (HANKS?) Varvell was the wife of Andrew VARVELL who has not been found in the records of Russell Co VA as yet, but who may be the same who appears on the 1820 Floyd Co KY Census.

Sinah was later presented by the grand jury for having a baseborn child and….

Sinah HOGG won her suit against John WOOD on 8/26/1794 (p. 178-9) and received a judgment for $20.001/3 plus costs.
SE Note: I copied these entries because of the name Sinah being a name found in the STACY/CODY connection. The John WOOD was son of Jonathan WOOD and his wife Nancy (DAVISON) Osborn Wood who may have been a daughter of James DAVISON I (d. 1794). On p.109, Stephen HOGG was ordered to pay John STACY for his attendance in court for him against John WOOD.

ca 1795 From "The Southwest Virginian" #26 p.46, WPA Interview on 22 Sep 1937 of Mr[s]. W. S. ISRAEL of Drill, VA, age 88, to interviewer Maida CLOUD
(Copy in WPA Historical Files in the Clerk's Office of Russell Co., VA):
“This happened in the New Garden [Upper District] section of Russell Co., west of Honaker. The Indians captured a Combs family, killed the husband and one child. The mother and remaining children were taken captive, being carried on horses. They (the Indians) were careful to leave no trace. They were finally tracked to old Sand Lick (now in Dickenson Co.) where they were camping. The horses were the best means of recognition. When the men came near the woman was down at the spring. They told the women to bring the child and be back at the spring within such a length of time and they would take her back home. In this way the mother and child were restored to their loved ones. The man and child were buried near where they were killed.”
According to submitter Emory Hamilton, “The above story may, however, be a traditional version of the killing and capture of the MUSICK family, included in this book since the MUSICK family were, as far as can be proven, the only known captives to be retaken at Sand Lick.”
Notes: See Dickey Diary Interviews, where, although interviewees do not refer to the above incident, they do make reference to both Indians and to Chief BENGE.

1798 (Russell Co VA?) The marriage of William & Anna THOMPSON Combs, Jr. is estimated to have taken place abt 1798.

The records of Surry Co NC identify William Combs, Sr. as having had a son, John, and the above William Combs, Jr. may have also been a son.

1815 Russell Co VA. According to Josiah H. Combs in his The Combes Genealogy…, William Combs of Crabtree on Moccasin Creek, was last recorded in 1815. It is not known if a search has been made of the records of Scott Co VA (est. from Russell Co this year) since Dr. Combs mentions only the possibility that the land was near Washington Co, VA, speculating that "John Combs of Boyle" (RW John Combs of Perry Co KY) might have been a son of William and Sitha STACY Combs.
