I have some information about the Cumbust family.My gggg grandfather was Francis Cunninham who married Simon Cumbust's daughter Catherine Cumbust (born 1797) on 3/7/1814.Family members say that Cumbust was spelled Combust but was changed when the o was written open at the top.
My research as found that Simon Cumbust was born in 1755 in Virginia and died on 3/12/1820 in Jackson County, Mississippi.His father was Thomas Cumbust.His mother was Elizabeth Stone.Simon married Susannah Graham (her father was Stephen F. Graham).I also found that Simon had another wife Marie Heve Kopp (born 1776) Simon had six children (that I have found):
Elizabeth Cumbust (born 1790 in West Florida Territory) who married William Graham.
John Henry Cumbust (Born 1792 in West Florida Territory) who married Mary Madeline Phoal.He died in 1832 in Jackson County, Mississippi.
Sarah Cumbust (born in 1795 in West Florida Territory)
Catherine Cumbust (born 1797 in West Florida Territory) who married Francis Cunningham on 3/14/1814.
Jethroe Cumbust (born 1799 in West Florida Territory)
Simon Antoine Cumbust(born 3/17/1804 in West Florida Territory) who died in Rough and Ready, Nevada County, California.His mother was listed as Marie Heve Kopp.
Simon received a land grant in 1799 for land in Pascagoula, Jackson County, Mississippi.
I show that Thomas Cumbust married Elizabeth Stone. I am still search tn finding information him.
I hope this help all who are looking for this branch of the Cumbust family.
