CUMBO FAMILY
Cumbo family of Hertford County, North Carolina
The Combos of Hertford County, NC (5). This family branch traces back to David Cumbo, a free man of color born around 1798 in Northampton County, North Carolina and who lived his life in bordering Hertford County, North Carolina.
The Cumbos and other families within their community — such as the Halls, Archers, Nickens, Weavers and Manleys — formed the core of the free community of color in Hertford County. Cumbo descendants today primarily identify as African American. Many of the families from their historical free people of color community identify as Native American (Meherrin).
The surname morphed to Combo a generation or two following David. His direct paternal descendants trace back to Haplogroup R-M269 which dates back 5-10,000 years to Neolithic Europe. While DNA testing has uncovered many connections between Northampton and Hertford County Cumbo descendants, Y-DNA testing has been able to clarify that these family branches do not appear to share direct paternal Cumbo ancestry.
