Biography

Phoebe Francis was born in 1775 in Virginia.

She married a widower, Henry Harrison Combs, Sr. on April 6, 1832 in Perry County, Kentucky.

From "Breathitt: A Guide to the Feud Country," from the American Guide Series, published in 1941:

"Some time after Harrison Combs' first wife died, just about the time he sold out, he married a young woman and moved to the state of Indiana. He left behind him five boys: Matthew, Henry, Hugh, George, and Steve. The Troublesome Creek farm of Harrison Combs is still in the Combs family."

Per an Interview with William Mason Combs:

"Henry Combs was my grandfather. He married Rachael Clements before he came to Kentucky. They had children as follows: Matthew (my father), Henry, George, James, Stephen and Frank; Bettie, Polly and Winnie. Bettie married Jerry Combs; Winnie married John Miller; Polly, Downey Stacy. My grandfather moved to Indiana about 1837 or 1838. He visited Kentucky about 1848. He reared a large family by his second wife, Phoebe Francis."

Phoebe was born about 1775
