Jane (Combs) Harlan (1823 - 1897)

Biography

Jane Combs was born May 28, 1823 in Missouri, USA to Stephen Combs and Cynthia Spiva.^[1]

Jane Harlan can be found at the age of 27 on the 1850 US census for Schuyler County, Missouri, with her husband, E. M. Harlan, and their children. Unfortunately, the census taker's handwriting was very difficult to read, and the family's surname has been transcribed as "Chartan" at FamilySearch.com. The family's given names, ages, and birth locations correspond accurately with the Harlan family on later census records,
