Combs Family

Text from the Combs Family (1658-1930):

Alexander and Fanny Clendennin) Trousdale:
*Mary (Polly) Trousdale had been born 6 July 1793 in Tennessee to Alexander and Fanny (Clendennin) Trousdale. Alexander Trousdale had been born in Lancaster (now Dauphin) County, Pennsylvania on 23 June 1766 and was taken as an infant by his parents to Orange (now Alamance) County, North Carolina, the birthplace of Fannie Clendennin. The Trousdale and Clendennin properties were close to each other, and many early records show the two families sometimes working and serving side by side. Thus it was certainly likely that Alexander and **Fannie, daughter of William and Mary Clendennin, had known each other while growing up; they married in 1790 and headed west.

*A connection identified in the Combs book; Thomas Combs married Sarah Anderson, who was the sister of my ancestress, Alice (Alsey) Anderson.  Their son, Jonathan Pettit Combs, married Icyvilla Dolan, daughter of Mary (Polly) Trousdale.

**Note Added: Fannie was the widow of John Clendenin when she married Alexander Trousdale (was she also the daughter of William and Mary Clendenin?).  Alexander and Fannie were my ancestors.

Scroggins, Rices, And Tarrants

Harold Rice research sent (eventually) to me...:

"I think the Scroggins, Rices, Tarrants and Ransoms moved together from Virginia to Rutherford County, North Carolina, to Greenville and Pendleton District South Carolina to Green, Franklin and Juniper Counties, Georgia, then spread out to Franklin County, Tennesse, and to Gallatin County, Illinois.  I think the Mt. Airy people could have been ours.  Mt. Airy is in Sequatchie County, Tennessee, some of which had been Marion County, which is next to Franklin County, Tennessee.

I found an Ephraim Reese in 1790 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, and there is an Ephraim Rice in Marion County, Tennessee, in 1840, in the Pendleton Distict of South Carolina.  On its list is Tarrants.

The 1790 census of South Carolina 96th District, Greenville County lists Humphrey Scroggins, David Reese, Benjamin Tarrant and John Rice.

The 1782 Henry County, Virginia, Military records lists the following in S. Tarrant Company:  Humphrey Scroggins, Thomas Scroggins, John Farris and Joseph Rice.  Oglethorpe Company, Georgia, 1794-1800: Phillip Scroggins, Thomas Rice, Humphrey Scroggins.

William Trousdale In Florida

 

Source (LOC) Pensacola (1815)

The regiment to which he belonged joined General Jackson early in November, 1814, and, on the 6th day of that month the army moved against Pensacola, Florida... . On the day following the town was stormed and taken. While the fight was progressing in the streets the advance of our troops was checked at one point by a gun which raked a street, dealing death in its ranks.  In this emergency, William Trousdale, with several other daring spirits, rushed rapidly forward in the face of the enemy's fire, drove the gunners from the deadly piece, captured it, and thus removed the obstacle which had stopped the progress of our men.

Trousdale in Florida:

 

See Other Trousdale References At Links

...the 2d regiment, under the command of Colonel Trousdale, advanced to attack the Indian and negro settlements in that vicinity. They found all the towns abandoned, and discovered large trails of the enemy leading to the east and northeast. A negro, captured in one of the houses, reported that they had fled to the Wahoo swamp. The Tennesseans burnt three large towns, which were built of hewn logs, and appeared to have been constructed during the last spring and summer.  (Source)

Headquarters, Fort Drane, October 19, 1836. 

Sir : I had the honor, on the 10th inst., to inform you of my contemplated march to the Withlacoochie. 

On the evening before my arrival, Colonel Randall, the adjutant and inspector general, was ordered, with Major Upshan, of the Tennessee brigade,- to advance with the spies under command of Captains Lauderdale and Wilson, and the front guard under command of Colonel Trousdale, and select an encampment about four miles from the river. In the performance of this duty, they surprised a party of the enemy, killed ten warriors, and captured eleven women and children.

Evidence that points to the relationship between Elizabeth (Acklin) Hinds (Ann's mother) and Christopher Acklin (Elizabeth's father):

 Additional information here.

Elizabeth (Acklin) Hinds (Partial) Deed
This deed between Elizabeth A. Hinds, dated 2 July 1825, identifies her residence as Franklin County, Tennessee. It is believed that she is in her daughter's household when the 1830 census was taken in Franklin Co., TN, but only the head of the household was identified by name and Elizabeth Hinds was not the head of household in 1830.
