McComb Family Cemetery

Franklin Township

Section 21, Township 40 North, Range 15 West

Miller County, MO.

To get to this single grave go from Eldon south towards Lake of the Ozarks on highway 54. At the stoplight, at the access to Bagnell Dam and Y roads, the road also goes to the left, which is Osage Hills Road. Go down Osage Hills Road for 1.45 miles to Sanders Road. This cemetery is gone and is now covered by the golf course, etc. The record is taken from the Miller County Records. Research has thought this to be the McComb Family Cemetery.

Below is for information only:

Jacob Shaw McComb was born 1 April 1774 in Rocaven Parish, Balanacard Townland, Co. Antrim, Ireland. He was trained for the ministry, attending the University of Scotland in Glasgow. However, family records indicate that education was his forte, even teaching his daughters to read and write, as well as seeing that his sons were well educated.

A Bible purchased by him in 1804 in the town of Kingston, Tennessee states that he left from the Cove of Cork, Ireland, on 3 October 1798. The Bible record also shows that he was married 14 November 1800 to Sarah “Sallie” (Evans), daughter of Ardin/Arden Evans, a Revolutionary War soldier, who was born 1756 in Bedford County, Virginia.

Jacob died 25 July 1865 in Elmont Texas, at the age of 91. His wife Sarah Hayden “Sally” preceded him in death in 1845 in Miller County, Missouri. She is buried in the McComb Family Cemetery.

They had a large family of 12 children, which are listed below. Some say 13, but I don’t know who the other one is.
