!BIRTH: Source-3 for date and place; Source-4 confirms

!MARRIAGE: Source-2 p. 123 has that she married John Booher but I believe this is an error. This source was confusing the Mary who was the daughter of John who married Reedy Creek John, the son of Martin; Source-5 cemetery record of John Combs states that his parents were Jonathan Combs and Mary Booher - this was the only Mary that I could find that appeared to fit the bill -THIS IS NOT PROVEN
