The name Tomb is spelled Tomm/Tombs/Toms, even in same documents early on. I am descended from Tomb line which changed to Tombs in MO, but was spelled all of the above in SC.
A congregation of people from Ireland were sent to Salem NY (on VT border) and the Tomb family played prominent part in this settlement. I was amazed to find all of the related family names among them as I did in the group I am descended from in Chester Co.SC.If I remember correctly, Salem is in Washington Co.NY and when I lived in VT I called a Tomb in the phone book and found out that they had a Family Association with reunions, etc., but this was 15 years ago. Good luck.
