My Perry County families: William COMBS b. between 1780 and 1790 married Sarah ? Their children: (probably all born in Harrison Twp., Perry Co., OH) Elisha, George, Isaiah, Matthew, John, William, Mariah, Helen, Harriet, Mahala, Sarah Jane. Connected Perry Co. Surnames: OWENS; STONEBURNER; & GILBERT Elisha Combs married Susannah Owens in 1844 Matthew Combs married Margaret Stoneburner in 1853 Harriet Combs married Robert Gilbert in 1871 I would love to know who the rest of the Combs children married. I'm always willing to share information. Kathy

Does anyone know anything about a George WOLF in Perry County? He was a witness for the will of Stephen OWENS (dated Dec. 16, 1836) My ancestor William Combs was also a witness. I am hoping that information on George Wolf may help with my research. Kathy

Does anyone know anything about a Martha PHERSON who married a John COMBS in 1849? Kathy

Is anyone researching the COX surname in Perry County, OH? They were probably originally from MD. The following named persons were living in Harrison township as early as 1816 or 1817: John C. Cox William Cox I believe that Mary Ann COX b. abt 1784 in MD married Stephen William OWENS in 1804 is related to these men in some way. Any help is appreciated, Kathy
