Mason "Mace" Combs

Birth:  1757
Warren County
Virginia, USA
Death:  1822
Perry County
Kentucky, USA
image
Mason was the son of John Combs Sr b 1735 VA, and Nancy Harding b 1750 VA. He married Jane Richardson and they had the following children:

Nancy Combs Hardin b 1793 Va
Rebecca Combs Combs b 1795 Va
Sarah Combs Combs b 1797 Va
Tabitha Combs b 1798 Va
Wilmouth Combs Combs b 1799 Ky
Washington 'Luke' Combs b 1799 Ky
Preston Combs b 1800
Tarleton Combs b 1804
Massingil Martin Combs b1806
Clinton 'Grizzler' Combs b 1810
Napoleon Bonaparte 'Boney' Combs b 1811

Is it possible that Mason and Jane had a son named Samuel born ca 1807?

I am descended from a Combs/Richardson alliance. A Samuel Combs b ca 1807 married a Sarah/Sallie Nickell in Morgan Co KY, and they had at least 7 children. Samuel Combs married Sarah NICKELL perf by W W GRAY per the Marriage Records of Morgan County, Kentucky, 1821-1859. They are next found in the 1860 Rowan Co census (From Morgan Co.):

HH 59
Samuel COMBS 53 farmer Ky
Sally 32 housewife
Minerva 16
Jeremiah 10
John 9
Samuel 7
Leonard 4
James E. 2

Later a daughter named Mary was born. She married a Richardson who died when he was 18. She later married a James William Freeman. They are both my Great Grand parents.

Dickey Diary interview of her son, Napoleon Bonaparte Combs: “My father was Mason Combs. My mother was Jennie RICHESON or RICHARDSON. He and seven brothers came. William Combs, my uncle, went to Fayette County. He was at my mother's after my father died [1822, Perry Co, KY] and wanted to take me to his home to raise. My father had 11 children, 5 girls and 6 boys. I am the youngest. The girls were born first. Willie, the youngest daughter, was born in Kentucky. There are seven children, at least, born after the CombsES came to Kentucky, and the youngest was born in 1808… Stephen JETT told me that he stayed all night at my father's when he moved to Kentucky. My father took up all the land that he could in his own name, and then he took some up in his daughter, Willie's, name. He owned six miles up Carr, also up and down the North Fork. He had land in Tennessee. He left his land on the Holston. He said there were Indians in Kentucky, and if he could not live here, he would have his own land to which to go back. He never sold it. He had plenty here and did not need it…”
