Land Act of 1820

Property

The land that ultimately became Combs Cemetery was originally part of a 40-acre land grant to Benjamin F. Hall, issued 1 September 1857 as part of the United State Land Act of 1820.[5] 


A portion of the original tract was sold to Robert Combs for the family farm and eventually became Combs Cemetery.
