Asa Combs family of KY, AR & TX
I'm looking for info on Asa Combs, born Sept. 17, 1807 in Kentucky & died abt. 1854 in Arkansas.He married Rebecca ? of North Carolina (last name unknown, possibly Roser). They had 10 children, 6 boys & 4 girls. I have only 9 names (I'm missing one of their sons names).The names I have are:
Adaline - b. Aug. 09, 1832 in Sangamon Co., Illinois
Samuel - b. March 30, 1834 in Sangamon Co., Illinois
Henry Nelson - b. June 19, 1836 in Sangamon Co., Illinois
Ruth Ann - b. Dec. 03, 1838
Robert Martin - b. March 26, 1842 in Washington Co., Arkansas
Eliza Jane - b. Oct. 11, 1844 in Washington Co., Arkansas
Mary Elizabeth - b. Apr. 14, 1847 in Washington Co., Arkansas
William N (or possibly William Henry)- b. March 26, 1851 in Arkansas
Charles Merion - b. May 04, 1854 in Arkansas
After Asa died, Rebecca married her late sister's husband, John Loyd in 1858 in Washington County, Arkansas. John Loyd & Rebecca's sister had 6 daughters.John wanted Rebecca to "take charge" of the girls which she did. The family decided to sell their property and move to Texas.They left for Texas on Nov. 20, 1859 and arrived in Dallas on Dec. 24, 1859. I've recently found writings of Rebecca's son, Robert Martin Combs (my 2nd great-grandfather) written in 1872 about these families and his experience in the civil war. There are 32 pages they we have found but page 32 ends in midsentence and he is only up to the year 1862 so we believe there is more to be found at my grandmother's (she is 92 years old). I would love to share information (and the wonderful 128 year old writings of my gg grandfather)with anyone who shares these family members.
