He died while living with his son William Henry Combs, married first Samanthy Ward about 1856 in Southern IN,; and second Louannie Lancaster in 1856 in Allen Co., KY. He was buried in the old Oak Grove Cemetery according to his obituary. This cemetery was later moved by a local contractor because of the new kaw lake, being build which covered the old oak cemetery, this contractor left some of the graves behind, which later bodies where found floating and embedded in the banks. It is believed that Peter and Louanne Combs were in those graves left behind, because there were no records and gravestones in the new Oak Grove Cemetery with their name.
