Biography
Sarah (Luttrell) Combs was a Virginia colonist.
Sarah was born about 1747 in Prince William County, Virginia Colony. She was the daughter of Richard Luttrell and Mary Dermont. She passed away about 1833. Sarah's will was dated 27 March 1833 and proved 28 August 1833 in Fauquier County, Virginia.[1]
Sarah was named in her husband's will dated 6 October 1780 and proved 28 May 1781. She was to have possession of her husband's land and estates during her life or widowhood. She was also named executor and was granted certificate for obtaining letters of administration in May 1781.[2]
Marriage
Sarah married John Combs about 1776 in Fauquier County, Virginia. They had six children: NImrod, Heland "Helen," Hetheland "Behethilon," Elizabeth, Sarah, and John. Three of their children were born before they were married and were listed in John's will as "alias Luttrell": son Nimrod and daughters Heland and Hetheland. John and Sarah lived together for about ten years before they married. It is not known for certain why they did not marry sooner, but it is suggested that the reason may have been one of religion. None of John and Sarah's children were baptized in the Church of England, Aquia Church which served Overwharton Parish in Fauquier County.
John and Sarah finally married at about the same time that the General Assembly of Virginia passed a law removing the Church of England as the established church for Virginia and allowing freedom of religious worship within the new state. (See John Combs, Jr. for a fuller discussion of this matter.)
