Daniel. I have wondered if the McCombs family that you mentioned came from Abbeville County, South Carolina (or old District 96 which Abbeville was a part of in the late 1700's). There were McCombs families in that area as well as Creswell (Criswell) families, and at least one of the Creswell (Criswell) families had family ties to the ASHLEY families in Abbeville, SC area with some of these family members moving to Calhoun County, Alabama. I have not checked the DANIEL name in the Abbeville Co. SC records yet to know if they might have been in that area of SC. Do your family records include anything about the Ashley family or Warren or Dunlap families of Heard Co. Georgia? I have suspected (but have not been able to prove or document) that my gg grandfather Reuben Ashley (who married Minerva Amanda Dunlap) came from the Abbeville County, SC area prior to going to Heard County, GA. Both he and his wife were born somewhere in South Carolina, as well as most (if not all) of Reuben Ashley's siblings. I have wondered if a group of families may have migrated to Heard County, GA from the Abbeville, SC area sometime in the late 1830's or early 1840's, including the Ashley, Warren, and McComb families, among others. I believe that the Dunlap families who were in Heard Co. Georgia came from Lancaster Co. SC prior to going to Heard Co. GA but do not know how or if Minerva Amanda Dunlap Ashley was related to them. Let me know if you have any thoughts or ideas about where your McCombs family came from in South Carolina and if you know of any family connections to the Warren, Ashley or Dunlap families to your McCombs family or allied lines. Thanks!
