Hi, - I am both a SHREEVES and COMBS researcher. I have two Rachel Shreeves, one as mentioned above, married to Henry C. Rose. I have her birth date as "ca 1848" in IL - and married in 1860; however if those marriage dates are correct, she would only be about 11 when married. So guess that is questionable. Father; Asa Shreeves (b. 2 Feb. 1806). However, I have her siblings born from 1840 to 1856, so I guess she could have been born closer to 1840. ======= The other RACHEL SHREEVES that I have was the daughter of THOMAS SHREEVES (1783) Pr. Geo. Co., MD; and RACHEL GRAY (1787) Bedford Co., PA - who were the parents of ASA. I have a great deal of information on the SHREEVES. Thomas and Rachel Shreeves were my third-great grandparents. - and I have a couple of generations further back than that. =============== MARY ANN COMBS was the second of ASA SHREEVES three wives. They had six children together. She was the daughter of ROBERT W. COMBS (22 Nov. 1706) either Greenbriar, VA or Highland Co., OH; and MARTHA PARKER (13 Dec. 1797) in PA. I also have data on the COMBS. Robert W. Combs and Martha Parker were my great-great grandparents. I also have Combs data. I hope this is of help to someone; I have other information that I would be glad to share. - Marna - gc-gateway@rootsweb.com wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: bettyaon340 > Surnames: SHREEVES, ADAMS > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.illinois.counties.knox/3828/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I am looking for the family of my husband great grandmother, Rachel Sheeves, who married Henry C.
