My gggrandmother was Catherine Combs, daughter of John Combs and Lucinda Pound. I have the marriage record, and the record of John's death in 1850, also the 1840 census for John and the 1850 census for Lucinda. I did notice that in the 1830 Vigo County census, the only Pound and Combs families with teenagers of the right sex and age for Lucinda and John are living next door to each other. The families are Thomas Pound and Elizabeth Combs. I haven't been able to verify that those are the parent families. My gggrandmother Catherine Combs was born Dec 25, 1839 in Indiana. She married James H. Sills on July 28, 1855 in Vigo County. Their first son, Frances Marion Sills, my ggrandfather, was born on April 10, 1857 in Sullivan County, Indiana. The other surviving children were Mary L. Sills (1861 in Indiana), Charles Benjamin Sills (July 1868 in Illinois), and William O. Sills (Nov 1874 in Illinois). There was one unknown deceased infant.
Frances Marion married Hester Welch in Illinois, and they moved to Kansas and then near Hennesey, Oklahoma. Frank's oldest son was Douglas Otis Sills, my grandfather.
If anyone has any information about Lucinda Pounds and John Combs, or the rest of the family, I would love to hear from them.
