Information from US Federal Census records:

20 August 1860: Noah was a farmer with real estate valued at $1100. and personal belongs $67. His family was living in Carroll County, Virginia, Hillsville Post Office. He and wife Catherine were both 22 years old, and had two children, Ellen and Noah, ages 2 and 1. Also in the home was 26 year old Mary Edwards, possibly Catherine's sister. ^[2]

11 July 1870, Fancy Gap Post Office, Carroll County, Virginia. I'm not sure if they moved, or maybe a new post office was opened closer to home. Noah and Catherine have less property and more children. Genealogists close to the current Combs family of the area will be interested to learn that the Valentine Leonards are neighbors of William's family.
