From other researchers they tell me Syria Combs fathered children by two
women " Polly" Mary Roberts the first one you list. I talked with Bertha
Noble and she talked with a lot of decendants and they said Syria fathered
Mary "Polly Caudills childrens also.
I know Benjamin Combs Md Patsy Brown their daughter Miranda Combs md Thomas
Johnson s/o Jesse Johnson & Mary Burns my 3rd great grandparents.
Thanks dennis
