Thomas Whitcombe - Maltster - Father of James Whitcombe (General)
Been on contact with the Public Members Tree on Ancestry - and he has updated his website
as he does have
baptism at Little Birch, Herefordshire 25 May 1777 - of Thomas WITCOMBE - parents: Thomas WHITCOMB and Mary YEATES etc.
So the death given in my last message in 1819 of Thomas aged 45 - seems to be very possible.
