depending on the information found.
In the biography of:

Of: GRAYSON COUNTY TEXAS.
It was written that T. B.'s Father:
JACOB SHAW MC COMB was 98 years old

(burial place unknown)
Which would lead you to believe
his year of birth was 1767.

that at one time belonged to:
JACOB SHAW MC COMB
he wrote that he was born 1 APRIL 1774.

the NOEL-WILEY FAMILY
This family lived in the same area of:
KNOX & ROANE CO. TENNESSEE
as JACOB SHAW MC COMB
There is no link
betwen these two families.
It is still unclear how or why
this family became owners of the Bible.
No one knows where the Bible is now
or who it was passed down to
in the NOEL-WILEY FAMILY.
the information obtained from it
was hand copied from the Bible,
but it is unknown who copied
this informtion or when it was copied.

The other story told by family was that
JACOB SHAW MC COMB
was a soldier on a
ENGLISH MILITARY SHIP
The ship landed in NEW YORK (year unknown)
Where JACOB SHAW MC COMB

He was then said to have left
