George Washington Combs

George Combs, one of the “eight” (John Combs, Sr., Mason Combs, Sr., John Combs of Richmond, Archdale Combs of Old Rappa), b pre-1774, Virginia; d 1826-7, Perry Co, KY; m bef 1804, Lydia 'Lydy' HARRELL (d/o John), b 1775-1780, Virginia, d aft 1857, (of) Perry Co, KY.

George is documented as a s/o John Combs, Sr. by the Dickey Diary Interviews, which identify him as "one of the eight" Combs brothers of East Kentucky; as well as other implied records (as noted), and as the h/o Lydia HARRELL (a.k.a. HERALD), the marriage further documented by the 1815 Hawkins Co, TN will of her father, John.

The 1898 Dickey Diary Interview of John S. Combs lists George as "one of the eight" (sons of John Combs, Sr.), adds the information that his children included "Claiborne lived in Owsley, [and] Byron dead;" and states that "Old George married a HERALD."

The interview of Elijah Combs CORNETT, b 22 Mar 1822, includes the statement that "Mason and George Combs died with the fever the same year about the time I was born;" a statement repeated in The Combes Genealogy… (p. 70) with the additional information that George died in a typhoid epidemic; however, this is disproved by Perry Co, KY records that document that, although Mason Combs (George's brother) died ca 1822, George didn't die until 1826-7.'

According to The Combes Genealogy…, p. 70, George "settled above Hazard, on the site of what is now Lothair [Perry Co, KY]. His house stood on Cedar Point, just above the highway. He was a carpenter and a sley [sic] maker. Not much information about George has come down to us. He had five children: Biram, Caliborne [Claiborne], Elizabeth, Lydia and Matilda.
