Jackson Combs/Ashe Co., NC
Still looking for anyone who might have info on Jackson Combs family of Ashe Co., NC.This is an elusive bunch!!!Jackson was married in 1855 to Martha Howell.Two graves in Jefferson, Ashe Co. indicate their resting places.He being listed as born in 1786 and death in 1894.This birth date does not seem possible.The 1880 census for Ashe Co. NC shows the family and his age indicates birth to be about 1828.The family was of good size: David, Sarah (m. Creed Stamper), Julieanne, Meredith Franklin, Stephen Columbus, Calvin, Mary,Nancy, Wiley A., and my great grandfather, James Rufus Combs (m. Ruth A. Dixon, 2nd m. Elizabeth Taylor, 3rd m. Mayme Stamper). The family started out in Ashe Co., NC then goes to VA apparently and reappears in Ashe Co., NC in the 1880 census.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.I know that some have suggested his name to be actually Andrew Jackson Combs.I have only two items that belonged to him.An envelope that is addressed to him: Jackson Combs, Esq. and a small religious book that lists births of the children.
HELP!!!!!!
Thanks,
