ID: I07488
Name: Archibald COMBEST
Sex: M
Birth: 16 MAR 1818 in Kentucky
Death: 14 APR 1875 in Clay City, Clay County, Illinois
Reference Number: 7488
Note:
According to "Samuel Combest and His Descendants" book:
In the year 1847, Archibald took leave of his family for a year to enlist and serve in the "War with Mexico." He was a private in Captain N.B. Holden's Company B, 12th Regiment of Infantry and was discharged in Mexico City on 13 January, 1848. (His discharge was a result of disability, a case of chronic diarrhea.) He made claim for bounty land, requesting a land warrent of 100 acres. Archibald was a large man, according to his discharge papers. At age 29 he was six feet tall, with dark complexion, dark hair, dark eyes, and his occupation was listed as "farmer."
After the death of Anelina, Archibald met and married Mary Ann Roy, who became his wife on 25 November, 1855 in Russell County, Kentucky. Mary Ann was the daughter of Lemuel and Eleanore Wilson Roy of Russell County, Kentuck. The ceremony took place at the home of her parents, in the prescence of Alexander Combest, Lemuel Roy, and John Stephens. William Roy, a minister of the Baptist Church, performed the ceremony, Mary Ann Roy Combest died 6 March, 1900.
A story told by Archibald's son Andrew James to his son gives us an idea of the wisdom of Archibald and of their family life. One day, Archibald went to visit a neighbor. While he was away, his son, Andrew James, took his father's rifle intending to go hunting. Taking his dog, he followed a trail towards Epperson's Mill, near their home. Near the mill he spotted what he thought was a wild animal, drew a bead and fired. However, he didn't know what it was. Archibald heard the shot and came to meet his son. "What have you done, son?" he asked. Andrew James said, "I shot something." Archibald suggested they go and see what it was and said, "I sure hope it isn't one of the neighbor's colts." They went to see the animal, Andrew James dreading it because, by now, he was sure he had killed the neighbor's colt. Reaching the dead animal, Archibald didn't say a word but, being a large man, shouldered the carcass and started home. Andrew James trotted along behind his father, scared to death. They reached home and Archibald dropped the animal beside the woodpile in the back yard. Archibald's wife Mary Ann came running out and said, "Oh Arch, where did you get the deer?" It was the first the boy knew it was a deer he had killed -- his first deer, shot with his father's old muzzle-loader.
The owner of the gun today is Phillip Combest of Russell Springs, Kentucky, great-grandson of Archibald Combest.
Janie Shanks which wrote me in response to a letter I sent an uncle of her's which had died inquiring about the Combest's is descended from this Archibald Combest.
