      "When Henry (Harrison), John's son, and one of the (3) 'eight brothers,' got married in Montgomery County [VA], in 1788, Mason Combs, Jr., his uncle, was his bondsman, and one of the witnesses."
      Mr. Combs, in his manuscript referenced here, stated that Mason Combs, also cited here from the book titled, "A brief of Wills and Marriages of Montgomery and Fincastle Counties, VA
      1733-1821", (Worrell, Anne Lowry, Chistiansburg, c1932), was Mason Combs Jr., the uncle of Henry Harrison Combs.
