Chris, I just got your posting about your Combs. I have an Esther Combs born 1797 NJ, married Abraham Elwell 1816 in Indiana and died 1887 in Knox Co IL. Any chance she is in your Combs. Unfortunately I don't know much about her yet, but I would love to find someone else with this line. Their son, Joel, also died in Knox Co just before his family was to leave for Kansas. Hopefully, Carol Anne
