The only grandchildren named are Jesse's sons, Josiah H., Jesse and John. He was General of the Militia. Someone snuffed a candle and accidentally threw the snuff in the keg of powder under the counter. Both DUFF and Combs were killed. DUFF was killed instantly.
Combs lay a good while.
He snuffed a candle and threw the snuff into a keg of power, accidentally. He and my brother James were in partnership in the goods business. We lived in Hazard at the time. John was in the south with a drove of horses at that time and did not hear the calamity till he reached home. His wife told him of it, before he got off his horse, whereupon he went to the grave and stuck his riding switch in the fresh dirt.
