Melva, Sorry I can't relate to your Pearce. Gggrandmother Rebecca Pearce's
family is quite well documented.....with parents, siblings their journey
from MD, VA, OH, Ill.
The Combs lineage has been a real challenge for me. These Combs,
Mahlon, Eliz. and Rebecca were all in Jasper co. Mo. about the same time as
my Sarah Ann Combs when she m. Daniel D Wilson. I have always suspected she
was related to the Mahlon/Malon in VA, who is well documented, however can't
connect to the Ohio family.

I am a descendant of Coleman Coombs/Combs and various spellings. He was born
about 1747, Hempstead, Nassau Co. NY, married 10 Feb 1770 Washington Co. PA
to Mary PIERCE, daughter of John Pierce and Frances. I know nothing of Mary
Pierce other than her father's name and her mother's given name. I have no
dates for them. Mary Pierce and husband Coleman Combs both died Washington Co.,
MD, he 12 Oct 1807 and she 1812. They had sons Lewis Combs who also died in
Washington Co., MD; John Combs Sr. b. B
Melva,
Your husband is the only PEARCE in my data base:)

Well, this is one of the most intriguing emails I've read in a while. I'm
out of the Kentucky Combs line and my husband is a Pearce whose father was
from Indiana. I'm having quite a bit of difficulty tracing the PEARCE line,
my husband is the 2nd family of Royal Rayden Pearce, b. 24 June 1892, in
Wilbur Indiana. Roy had 4 siblings that I've found and his mother was Alice
Tanner but I don't know his father's name.
Would love to know if any of this PEARCE info crosses with your COMBS line.

Seeking info on lineage of gggrandmother Sarah Ann Combs b 1829, Ohio or VA. On the mortality sheet I find some new info, saying father b. England, mother Ohio, and Sarah born VA....it had always been believed she was b. Ohio. She m. Daniel Wilson (his father is William Smith Wilson, mother Rebecca Pearce) 1845 Jasper co. MO., they moved to Mills Co. Iowa where they both succumbed to Pneumonia in 1880. Sarah was 49 and Daniel was 56.
The Combs, Rucker & Pearce/Pierce's seemed to travel together from Ill
