CHAPTER SIX

JONATHAN PETTIT COMBS

and his in-laws, Dolan-Trousdale-CIendennin Families

Jonathan Pettit Combs, born 22 February 1806 in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, was the
youngest of seven children born to Thomas-1774 and Sarah (Anderson) Combs.

1829: On 19 February 1829, Jonathan married Icyvilla Dolin/Dolan  who lived next door to him in the home of her mother Mary Jane/Polly (Trousdale) ( Dolan) (Sullenger) Patillo.  Icyvilla's very interesting family is detailed later in this chapter in the section Dolan/Trousdale/Clendennin. (Source)

My Old Kentucky Roots

Frankfort, Kentucky

My 6th great-grandmother, Arabella, was an early resident of Kentucky.  Her daughter, Alsey Anderson, who was born about 1770, married David Evans in Nelson County, Kentucky.

Here's a query that identified her as Arabella Burton/Borten, probably born in Chesterfield County, Virginia.  Another message expands upon the Burton family.

Was Arabella Anderson Born A Burton?

From the Burton chronicles of colonial Virginia...:

Page 49

"...unto Arrobello Burton....".

Excerpts from John Burton's will (indexed as Borton) dated 23 February 1754, also included Arrobello Burton. [Pages 50 and 51]  The will was made in the Parish of Dale, Chesterfield County, Virginia (page 208 in the county's first Will Book).  Witnesses were John Baker, Robert Cayce, and Sarah Baker.

Arabella (possibly Burton) first married an Anderson (possibly named John), and were the parents of Alsey (Anderson) Evans.  Arabella's granddaughter, Nancy Evans, married Michael Roark.

Arabella was my 6th great-grandmother.  I still hope to find definitive proof of her maiden name.

Arabella

Arabella's maiden name is unknown.  She married Mr. Anderson; Arabella and Mr. Anderson were the parents of Alice (or Alsey) Anderson, who was my ancestor.

A message at GenForum included the following information:

Arabella ANDERSON, a widow received 200 acres [link added] grant in Jefferson Co, KY from the Gov of VA. I find her in Nelson Co., KY.  I don't know her ANDERSON husband's name, nor what her maiden name was. I have been told it may have been BURTON, but I haven't been able to prove that.She had Sarah ANDERSON married Thomas COMBS, Alsey (Alice) ANDERSON married David EVANS, and Patience ANDERSON married Matthew WARD, all in Nelson Co. I also believe she had a son John, from indications given with court actions reference Sarah. I also believe that all three of these daughters and mates moved to Muhlenberg Co., to include the son John ANDERSON

The presumably widowed (before 15 July 1797 per deeds below) Arabella Anderson married John Ash.  According to this site, they had a daughter, Elizabeth.  Did the Ash family have Butler County, Pennsylvania, roots?  The Ash Family history site stated that "at a County Court held for Nelson County on May 13, 1800 the will was proved and recorded. So John Ash died between October 1799 and May 1800."

This source from a researcher included the following deed abstracts:

Book 7, page 212 - 15 Jul 1797 - John ASH & wife Arabella to Isaac CLARK of Hardin Co., 97 acres on south fork of Nolin Creek and being part of 200 acres granted to Arabella ANDERSON now ASH by patent, adj. Joseph NOURSE and Aquilla MARTIN - (Arabella ANDERSON, a widow, was granted 200 acres in Jefferson, now Hardin Co., KY by VA Gov. Patrick Henry, in 1783 - her maiden name is unknown and her ANDERSON husband is unknown)

Page 213 - 15 Jul 1797 - John ASH & wife Arabella to Aquilla MARTIN 103acres in Hardin Co on south fork of Nolin Creek and being part of same patent mentioned above

Arabella was the step-mother of George Ash (more here).

John Sturgeon and Arabella were married 22 November 1804.  Their marriage document below (bond of Nathaniel Brown and John Sturgeon dated 19 November 1804) specified that Arabella was the widow of John Ash.
