NYGBR:
Coombs—Blackwell—Kissam.—Riker's Annals of Newtown, p. 81,
footnote, states " Elizabeth Coombs, dau. of Francis of Newtown,
m. Robert Black well." Can authority be given for this?

Riker, p, 81, says: Francis Coombs in 1679, a cooper, received a
grant of land to come and settle and practice his trade. He was a
patentee there in 1686. Had two sons, Francis and Thomas, who removed
to Hopewell, N. J. He was dead in 1700.

Riker, p. 355, says: Robert Blackwell came to Newtown from Elizabeth,
N. J., a widower, with son Robert in 1676. Robert (ist) married there
again. The son Robert, whom he says married Elizabeth Coombs, removed
to Hopewell, N. J., and died there 1757, having had children named
Robert, Francis, Thomas, Jacob, Mary, Ann, Elizabeth. (His father
by his 2nd wife had children named Bridget, Thomas, Francis, Walter,
Henry, Lydia, Sarah, Susannah, Jacob, Mary.)

Savage's Genealogical Dictionary says: A Francis Coombs was of Plymouth
in t666 and there receiving land in his father's (John) right. Probably
the same Francis was of Middleborough in 1676 with wife Mary. Probably
the same Francis was of Newtown 1679.
