Found this on the internet. From the names, it would appear that this is Wesley combs, s/o Long Jerry. Wesley was married to Nancy Combs, had a daughter, Elizabeth (Betty), had a sister, Margaret "Peggy", had a daughter, Millie. The only bit of information that doesn't appear to fit is David Combs. Peggy was first married to Emory Allen. Her children by her second husband, Harrison Combs would not have been old enough to have been in the War. Wonder if his name was David Allen instead of Combs. Carter Excerpt From Noble Work By Janet V. Neace The following paragraphs are from Behold He Cometh In The Clouds by George Washington Noble, one of the rarest books by a Breathitt Countian about Breathitt County. "I would teach five days and on Saturday go to Squire John Campbell's, and get the papers at his office and on to B. F. Harvey's office and execute them as I went. If I did not get around that day I would wait until the next Saturday. On Sunday I would go to meeting. Jeff Sizemore boarded with me, and I did not think of charging him, as he would help me get wood or do anything about the place. It was a three-months school, and I lost one week for foddering. I would see Arrena Noble pretty often, and sometimes I would go to her home to see her. She was her mother's oldest daughter, and her mother would not let her go to any parties or gatherings, only to meetings and weddings. That fall James D. Noble and Missouri Noble married. Washington Noble was her father. He came to the state of Missouri in 1844, and I was named for him while he was in this state. He came back to Kentucky and married Phoebe Campbell and called their first daughter Missouri, for the state of Missouri. He! r husband, J. D. Noble, died in 1905, and she married a boy 16 years old and is living in Breathitt County, Kentucky. She was 56 years old when she married Granville Pearl Fugate, 16 years old. Such a wedding was never heard of in the state of Kentucky before. In the summer of 1866, Mason Miller and I went to a wedding at old Wesley Combs' at the head of Lost Creek, in Perry County. Samuel Campbell and Miss Betty Combs were married. They had a violin or fiddle, we all called it, and the girls were fine dancers. An old lady by the name of Peggy Combs was there. She was a sister to old Wesley Combs, and the mother of David Combs, who was a Confederate soldier in the army and got shot in the face and broke his jaw. He was a fine fellow, and that was the first time I saw Peggy. She was good-looking and pert as a young girl. She was a widow and wanted to marry again. If I had not found out that she was Dave Combs' mother, I might have said something to her about being so good-lo! oking. Mason Miller was a fancy dancer, and she and Mason took it hot and heavy. Old Wesley had a very fine girl by the name of Milley Combs. She was pretty young, and I was a stranger to her. I tried to get her to dance with me and worked every plan to get her to be my sweetheart. Old Nancy, her mother, was wanting her to keep company with me, but she would not consent, and it was a good thing on me that she did not; for the next day we went to the infair over on Troublesome and Winney Combs was there. She was the widow of Capt. Henderson Combs, who was killed in the war, and of whom something has already been said. She was the daughter of old Samuel Allen, the father of the Allen boys who were killed on Drowning Creek, Kentucky, in 1865. I had gotten her for my sweetheart. A nice young lady was there from below Hazard by the name of Elmiria Combs. She was very handsome and was keeping company with McChager Napier. He was a nice looking man and had served in the Rebel Army with me. We messed together, but he left the Rebels and joined the Yan! kees."
