Hello Ruth, My greatgrandmother was Sallie Jane Sharp, born in Casey Co., KY to James Wallace and Elizabeth Davis Sharp. Sallie married George Washington Combest in 1903 and they had 5 children. James Wallace and Elizabeth Davis Sharp and George and Sallie Sharp Combest all moved to Moody, McLennon Co., TX and died there. George Combest was also born in Casey Co., KY to Fountain and Mary Chilton Williams Combest. I think that James Wallace Sharp was son of James Sharp, son of William? Sharp. I am just starting up this branch of my family tree. My impression is that there are still quite a few Combests in KY, some in OK and TX. They have regular reunions in KY. I have pictures of these people in case you would be interested. Thank you Sally Combest named for my greatgrandmother "Mama Sal" > -----Original Message----- > From: ruth sharp [mailto:rsharp41@hotmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 5:47 PM > To: SHARP-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [SHARP-L] CHEROKEE MARRIED TO SHARP MALE > > > when I get back to Illinois where the pictures are I will scan an > send them > to you an maybe someone will be able to tell if they look like > any of their > family members. > Ruth > > > >From: "Lisa L.
