I, Glen C. Combs, do hereby constitute and appoint Christine L. Lewis and

Jeffrey W. Farrar my true and lawful attorneys-in-fact, any of whom

acting singly is hereby authorized, for me and in my name and on my

behalf as a director and/or officer of StellarOne Corporation, to (i)

prepare, execute in my name and on my behalf, and submit to the U.S.

Securities and Exchange Commission (the ?SEC?) a Form ID, including any

necessary amendments thereto, and any other documents necessary or

appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling me to make electronic

filings with the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation of the SEC in

respect thereof (?Section 16?); and (ii) prepare, execute, and file any

and all forms, instruments, or documents, including any necessary

amendments thereto, as such attorneys or attorney deems necessary or

advisable to enable me to comply with Section 16.



I do hereby ratify and confirm all acts my said attorney shall do or

cause to be done by virtue hereof.  I acknowledge that the foregoing

attorneys-in-fact, serving in such capacity at my request, are not

assuming, nor is StellarOne Corporation assuming, any of my

responsibilities to comply with Section 16.



This power of attorney shall remain in full force and effect until it is

revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to each such

attorney-in-fact or the undersigned is no longer required to comply with

Section 16, whichever occurs first.



WITNESS the execution hereof this 27th day of February 2008.
