Hello All !! I ordered "The Macomb Family Record" by Henry Alexander Macomb."It connects with the phk almost perfectly, but on the Macomb side, (our cousins).They both have "McComb families" reported in the same county," Dunturkey, Ballynure Ireland prior to 1700. Then they are also found in the same cities in America, Cumberland Co. Penn., Westchester co New York, one address is a dead ringer, the old mansion whats now called "Bunkers Hotel" NewYork. John Gordon McComb b. 1717 is listed as number 4 on the Macomb descendency line, he would be generation 6 in the phk, the son of the ?? McComb who married Jane Gordon, page 21->phk. John G. McCombs' father is William McComb b. 1685 (<-same as Bl--K, ), same place too, Dunturkey Ballynure Ireland. Williams father is John McComb(bie) b. 1650 Scotland, Linen Draper, wife unknown, supposedly "died" in 1732<-(same year Bl--k emigrated from Ireland), Johns father is John McCooam (MacCombie) b. 1619 "Scotland. "(They are trying to say that this is Iain Mors son John. This does conflict with he Skirmish at Drumbgley story, or McCombies field, but who knows the real truth?) John MacCombies b.1619, his father would then be Iain Mor. "I think" its one of Iain Mors brothers, uncles, nephews or cousins, but not him. It is said that John survived the skirmish at McCombies field, and later died if his wounds. I believe that "sometimes," when it is said that someone had died, it could be actually a lie, to successfully emigrate, to cover any tracts left behind. "Escape and Live in Peace!!!" they all think Im dead!! The 2 books are off by 2 generations. The Macomb book shows 2 additional generations between John Gordon McCombs father William (Bl--ks brother) and Iain Mor. Since Jane Gordon is listed in both books, that only leads to one conclusion, please correct me if I wrong. The phk "is" only missing 2 generations. "Bl--k and William" would be the "great grandsons" of Iain Mor-according to the Macomb book, and the "children" of Iain Mor -according to the phk. In compling with the challenge dared by Peter on page 259 of the phk, "I believe I have come across the "75 year period" of missing info, that was determined by Peter and his associates." Both books mention keyplaces like Dunturkey, Ballynure, Ireland, Cumberland co. Pennsylvania, Westchester co.New York, even one address to be exact, BUNKERS HOTEL, with dates that are too-close for comfort. There is a 16 page addition to the Macomb book with some references to the phk, added afterwards. The phk was out before the Macomb book, about 5 years earlier, 1912. That means when they wrote the Macomb book, they have found more info later.The 2 "being so close" this could have some validity towards a "breakthrough" in the stuck point. "The connection between Ireland and Scotland. Does anyone know where I can find "whole" lists of the brothers, uncles, cousins of Iain Mor? There were three McCombs noted in the U.S. before us. John McComb w.Elizebeth Middleton(1668), his son John McColme(1723), and Dugall McComb 1718 - Scotch-Irish Pioneer. Regards, Jeff McComb
