(Source) Mason Combs and Jenny´s son Massingill Martin Combs (nick-named “Mart”) was born in 1810 in Perry County when he was 15 years old, he married his cousin, Elizabeth Combs, who was 13. They were wed 14 Feb 1825.

Elizabeth was nick-named “Betts”. She was born in Perry County, in 1812. Elizabeth's father was named Jeremiah L. Combs (his nick-name was “Long Jerry Combs”). He was born in 1782 in Surry County, North Carolina. Massingill Martin Combs and Elizabeth Combs had fourteen children; Burk Combs, Clint Combs, Gilbert Combs, Benjamin T. Combs, Washington Combs, Bonaparte Combs, Hanbill Combs, Elizabeth Combs, Polly Jane Combs, Jenny Combs, Dicy Combs, Farb Combs, Preston Combs, and Catherine Combs.

During the Civil War, five of their sons fought for the north, one fought for the south. Ben did not fight.

Elizabeth was 74 when she died in 1886. Massingill died in 1892 in Perry County. The same year he died, he took a second wife, he was 82 years old, his new wife was named Polly Kelly and she was 45 years old.

Massingill inherited some of the land along Carrs Fork from his father, Mason.

The land was about one mile wide, 4 miles long, and stretched along Carrs Fork from Accup to Vicco.

Massingill started a family farm on the land. He built the first home on the farm. Between two bends of Carrs Fork. Where Bentown is now. He farmed corn, beans, squash. He also raised pigs and chickens. When Massingill died he split the land into shares and gave it to his nine children. Most of Massingill´s children sold the land they inherited. One of Massingill & Elizabeth´s children who stayed on the farm was named, Benjamin T Combs. Benjamin´s nick-name was “TBen” Benjamin acquired the name “TBen” when he named the family farm, Bentown, after himself, then everyone started calling him “TBen”
