    Richard Mary Back Jan 1839Perry County, Kentucky. Mary (daughter of Joseph Back and Permelia Belle Hogg) 06 Feb 1823 Perry County, Kentucky; 26 Jan 1914Chouteau, Mayes County, Oklahoma; 1914Alberty Cemetery, Sportsmen Acres, Mayes, Oklahoma, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 7.  Mary Back 06 Feb 1823 Perry County, Kentucky (daughter of Joseph Back and Permelia Belle Hogg); 26 Jan 1914Chouteau, Mayes County, Oklahoma; 1914Alberty Cemetery, Sportsmen Acres, Mayes, Oklahoma, United States of America.

    Other Events:

    • Residence: 20 Aug 1850, Morgan County, Kentucky
    • Residence: 27 Jul 1860, Morgan County, Kentucky
    • Residence: 30 Jun 1870, Menifee County, Kentucky
    • Residence: 7 Jun 1880, Menifee County, Kentucky
    • Residence: 29 Apr 1910, Chouteau, Mayes County, Oklahoma

    Notes:

    Died:
    A search request in June of 2012 for a death certificate presented to Mayes County, Oklahoma resulted in a failure to locate that record. The only evidence currently of Mary's date and place of death is from a cemetery marker in the Alberty Cemetery. This is further supported by Mary's presence in the area as indicated by the 1910 Census when she was living with one of her daughters.

    Notes:

    Married:
    Purportedly, Richard Combs appears on the "Perry County, Kentucky Groom's Index." Multiple citations on the Internet, no images of the document found online, all cite January, 1839 with variations on the actual day in January.

    • Residence: 1830, Perry County, Kentucky
    • Residence: 30 Jul 1850, Breathitt County, Kentucky
    • Residence: 10 Jul 1860, Morgan County, Kentucky

    Notes:

    Residence:
    (DJS) Use caution with this record. Much documentation exists for membership to the NSSAR under ancestors of Mathew Combs. These applications state that Mathew died in Breathitt County, Kentucky in 1859. This 1860 Census record shows a Moses Combs within two years of the age of Mathew Combs. I believe it is highly likely that these are the same person between the 1850-1860 census enumerations. BOTH Mathew (1850 Census) and Moses (1860 Census) have a wife named Frances who was born in Georgia. The birth state of the Mathew/Moses vary though. The most compelling bit of information is that in both of these census years, the person named Mathew (1850) and Moses (1860) is recorded as being blind.
    Use your own judgement; I welcome input.

    • Residence: 3 Aug 1850, Breathitt County, Kentucky

    Notes:

    Died:
    The widely quoted death date of 25 June 1850 is clearly incorrect. Joseph was alive on the 3rd of August, 1850 and was enumerated that date on the 1850 Census living in Breathitt County, Kentucky along with his wife, father-in-law, Stephen Hogg Sr, and many other close family members in other homes enumerated on the same census page.

    Buried:
    Note the incorrect death date on this stone that was placed at a later date. Joseph was still alive in August of 1850; see census image linked on this page.
