Date: Saturday, 20 March 1999 2:20 I’m new to the Drake list. My husband descends from Amos Combs./Coombs and Tacy Drake. This is per a manuscript written by a nephew of Amos Coombs, William Franklin Coombs, M.D. in 1893. WF Coombs would have been a nephew to Amos Coombs and Tacy Drake. I have not found a marriage record between Amos and Tacy. Amos Combs/Coombs b. abt. 1766 resided in Loudon Co., VA with his father. He moved to Hardin Co., KY. (It’s possible that he was in Montgomery Co., VA before he moved to Hardin Co., KY. I still have to look at some land records for Montgomery Co., VA before I’m sure that the Amos in Montgomery Co., VA is my “husband’s” Amos.) I’ve been wondering if Tacy Drake could be a daughter of Thomas Drake and Uriah Humphrey who also resided in Loudon Co., VA and then died in what is now Wood Co., WV. According to Alvaro Gibbens in his book Gibbens-Butcher Genealogy, Thomas Drake and Uriah had a daughter Teasy b. 01 September 1766 who married Bailiss Combs moved to Montgomery Co., VA and then to Kentucky. What I’m wondering of course, is if anyone on the list is researching the family of Thomas Drake and Uriah, and whether or not, anyone knows of any descendants of a Bailiss and Teasy Combs. (Known children of Amos and Tacy Combs: Polly Coombs m. Israel WilkesUra/Uriah Coombs b. 1792 m. Bennett Straughn; ; Thomas b. abt. 1795 m. his first cousin Elizabeth Coombs; Samuel H. Coombs b. 1797 m. Susan Williams.) I’ll be grateful for any help! |
