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.
