McComb, McCombs--Keady, Armagh to Troy, NY?

[TPM123]

Greetings--seeking family of Samuel McComb b. about 1805 in Co.Armagh, Parish of Keady. He and brother William McComb b. about 1807 settled in Troy, NY and were brick masons by trade. Samuel (spouse, Ann) had many children in Troy, including James McCombs born 1847 (my g-g-grandfather).  Hoping to find exact location of where our McCombs family lived in Co. Armagh, Parish of Keady. Possibly Newry or MarketHill? Anyone out there with info on Samuel or William McCombs b early 1800s and moved to Troy, NY please let me know! Brick wall for over a decade. Many thanks, Tammi

Welcome to RootsChat
When was Eleanor born?
There is a death of a Robert William McComb in 1905 aged 23 worked for the railway, could this be your Robert?

Don't think this chap had any children, seems to be married to Rachal Taylor in 1902 but I don't see any McComb Taylor births on a quick search.

Hi
Thanyou so much for getting back to me yes this could be him my grandmother was listed living with her mother and grandparents on the 1911 census at 4 drumard ( jones) Richill Co Armagh I presume her father had been dead at this time . Eleanor was aged 8 at this time of the census. The 1901 shows Robert living at 2 anneragh  richill hill with a Mary spence and a Sarah spence his aunts

Thank you so much for this !!! I found Robert living with his aunts but can find his parents or where he or they are buried my grandmother is buried with her mother and her Taylor family in the parish of Kilmore but unsure wher Roberts and his family buried . I was told my grand mothers father died when she was a child and that her mother remarried later to an Isaac Hayes and they lived on her farm in drumnasoo. Unfortunately my uncles are all gone and so is my father so I have no way of finding this out
