______________

[Notes: BTM] This was a exciting document to see. I had read somewhere that Zur COMBS first name was Thomas, but had never seen a document with his name listed as Thomas Zur COMBS … BUT now notice he signed this document as “T” Zur COMBS. His father was Thomas COMBS the elder of Allen Co, KY. Could he have been named for his father Thomas COMBS, or IS he likely Thomas Zur COMBS Jr.? :NEXT notice the name Moses M. GUM, could this likely be (Moses?) Mitchell GUM??? husband of Elizabeth COMBS daughter of Thomas COMBS of Allen Co, KY. Zur COMBSs and Elizabeth (Combs) GUM were siblings of James COMBS all children of Thomas COMBS the elder, and so named in his will/deed. The BRITT family is likely ancestors of Myra BRITT's husband since his family was from same area. Matthew SAMPLES dec'd may be the same who married Jane Richey who married January 20, 1791 in Green Co, TN.

Could this be my Thomas possibly Zur COMBS who married Anna ANDERSON COMBS in Sumner Co, TN across the state line. Did they divorce and he then married Sarah PECK?? Anna ANDERSON COMBS never remarried, her cemetery records show her as Anna COMBS buried near her father Peter ANDERSON in Posey Co, IN.

Benjamin Samples' wife MARY GUM was probably a cousin, or aunt of Moses M. Gum.

Probably a sister of Jesse Gum.

FamilyCentral has her as the daughter of Jacob Gum & Lydia Dever
