No, I have no proof that Anthony Coombs and Ruth Getchell ever married. What I do know is the following:
Anthony3 [Anthony,2 Anthony1] Coombs, born 28 Jul 1729, at Falmouth (now Portland), ME; removed with his family to New Meadows when he was about nine; married Ruth Getchell (intentions published 18 Nov 1752 in Brunswick, ME). He removed from New Meadows to Islesboro, and was town officer there in 1789. This comes from William Carey Coombs' book: Anthony Coombs And His Descendants, page 136.
In the Census of 1790 the population of Islesborough was 382 persons in 67 families. Anthony’s family is listed as: three males over 16 years of age, three younger unmarried males, and one female. Anthony4 and Ruth would account for one male over 16 and the one female. Robert4 is listed as a separate head of household. Therefore, probably Jonathan4 and Benjamine4, who were both about to get married, were the other two males over 16 years of age and Anthony,4 Jesse,4 and Ephraim4 were probably born after 1774.
According to the History of Islesborough, Maine, page 176, Anthony3 is reported to have died in Islesborough in 1815 and his wife Ruth died there in 1826.
Sorry, I can't really give you the information that you are looking for.
