In tlie following record a serial number has been prefixed
to the name of each Comstock child as it appears. If that
name ai)pears subsequently as the head of a family, the same
serial number is prefixed, but in heavier type.
To pass from the head of a family to the ancestor, one must
])ass from the number in heavy type to the same number in
light type.
To find the children of a child, find the family whose number
follows the child's name.
Generations from William ' Comstock of New London are
indicated by small figures.
The usual abbreviations, b., m., d., dau., are used for born,
married, died, and daughter.

IXTRODfCTloX
Ix Devonshire, England, there is a Hltle village called
Culmstock, with a few hundred inhabitants, lying on the
small stream Culm, from which it derives its name. It is
called Colmstocke in the Domesday Book in the time of
William the Conqueror.
From this village the name Comstock is doubtless derived.
Elxeter is about twenty miles from Culmstock. The
Cartulary of St. Nicholas Priory, Exeter, No. 365, has as wit-
nesses in 1 241, Will, de Widebeere, Godefrido de Kelli, Petro
(le Columstock, Nicho. Bissoph.
The History of Taunton (ten miles from Culmstock) gives
among the early priors of Taunton, Richard de Colmstoke,
elected 1325; Ralph de Colmstoke, elected 1331. resigned
1338.
The parish register of Stoke St. Gregory (nineteen miles
from Culmstock) gives:
"Thomas, son of Thomas Coomstocke baptized ye 30 day
Oct. 1636.
"John, son of Thomas Coomstocke baptised ye 18 day Sept.
1646.
Thomas Cumstoke was buried 30 Sept. 165S."
The Harleian Society publications give among the burials
of the church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London:
"Mariana Combstocke, 30 Nov^ i595-
I
2 A Comstock Family
Joannes Combstocke, 26 Aug. 1597.
Johannes Comstock, i Nov. 1603."
These quotations show that the name existed in England
at the time of the settlement of New England.
About 1895, an examination at the .Somerset House, Lon-
don, of the Record of Births in England and Wales showed
scarcely one birth per year. The name in England has there-
fore nearly died out.
There is a story of the existence in the Muniment ofhce at
Frankfort, Germany, of pedigrees of nine generations of
Komstohks prior to Charles von Komstohk, a baron of the
Roman Empire, who escaped to England in 1547, because
implicated with other noblemen of Austria and Silesia in the
von Benedict treason.
Careful search at Frankfort-on-the-Main, and at Breslau,
fails to find any trace of a Baron von Komstohk, or of a von
Benedict treason. Dr. John Lee Comstock of Hartford, Ct.,
accepted the story. His sister, quoting it, says, 5 Sept., 1865,
"from my deceased brother I received what I have written,
who as he informed me, upon a visit to Frankfort on the Main
by a gentleman whose name I do not recollect, copied and
gave it to him."
Dr. Comstock was probably misinformed by this unknown
person.
The earliest known record of a Comstock in this country is
in the will of Henry Russell of Weymouth, Mass., 28 Novem-
ber, 1639. He gives to his wife Jane "the remainder of time
to be served by my servant John Comstock." Apprentice-
ship of sons till the age of twenty-one was common in those
days.
The Wethersfield Record gives, 2"^ month, 28"" day, 1641:
"the lands of William Comstock which he purchased of Ric.
Milles lying in Wethersfield on Connecticut River."
Beginning in 1635 and 1636 there was a considerable emi-
gration from Watertown, Mass., and its vicinity to Wethers-
field, Windsor, and Hartford, Ct., and WilHam ^ Comstock
may have been among the emigrants.
A Comstork Faniilv 3
SamucP Comstock, prol)al)ly son of William,' gives recog-
nizance at Ilartfonl Court, on i Manh, 164S, for ten days of
good behavior ami for satisfying what damage Mr. Robins
shall sustain for want of his servant. Samuel was probably
then an aj)])rentice and under twenty-one years of age.
The 25 Jan., 1659, William Com.stock of New London deeds
land "with the con.sent of my now wife Klizabeth."
William Comstock at a town meeting 10 Nov.. 1O50. .it
New London, voted to co-oi)erate with John Winthrop in
establishing a cnm mill. In New London Records. Feb. 25,
i()()i 2, he is called "old goodman Comstock"; and if he were
then seventy would have been bom about 1591.
It is probable that William ' Comstock of Wctherslield and
New London, who married for his second wife Llizabeth. had
children as follows:
John^, of Lyme, Ct., who died in 1680.
Daniel ^, of New London, Ct. (now Montville), who died
1683, aged fifty-three.
Samuel^ of Providence, R. L, who died about 1660.
Christopher^, of Fairfield and Norwalk, Ct., who died 28
Dec, 1702.
Elizabeth^, who married Edward Shi])ton Jan.. 1651, and
died July, 1659.
The reasons for attributing these children to William ' will
now be given.
That John ^ of Lyme and Daniel ' of New London were
sons of William ' of New London is shown by a deed from
William' Comstock of Lyme (son of John' of Lyme), and
Daniel 3 Comstock of New London (son of Daniel ' of New
London), dated 4 Dec, 1694, which conveys "land at Nyantik
which said land was given to our grand father William Com-
stock deceased by the town of New London," 20 acres.
The same twenty acres was granted to William' Comstock
21 June, 1647. by the town of New London.
Savage {Genealogical History of New Enf^laiid) says John
Comstock, who was at Weymouth, Mass., in 1639, sat down
at Say brook, east part, now Lyme.
4 A Comstock Family
.Mr. S. C. Newman states that Daniel^ Comstock moved
from Providence to New London. Daniel Comstock, 19 Feb.,
1645, accepts from Providence, R. I., a free grant of twenty-
five acres of land. 24 June, 1648, Daniel Comstock with other
young men were arrested in Providence, for giving a false
Indian alarm. In 1660, Daniel Comstock was paid twenty
shillings by New London for killing a wolf toward Mohegan.
The facts that Samuel ^ and Daniel ^ had adjoining lots in
Providence; that Samuel ^ named a son Daniel; that Daniel ^
named his son Samuel ; that William ^ and a Samuel under
age were both in the jurisdiction of Hartford in 1648; give
rise to the presumption that Samuel ^ of Providence and
Daniel ^ of New London were brothers.
Christopher^ Comstock of Fairfield (and later of Norw^alk,
Ct.) made an affidavit about visiting good wife Knapp charged
with being a witch, at New Haven, May 29, 1654.
He named three of his children Daniel, Samuel, and Eliza-
beth, and these names are the same as those of two sons and
the wife of William ^ Comstock of New London. This fact
and the fact that both William ^ and Christopher ^ were in
Connecticut in 1654, make it probable that Christopher^ was
the son of William.'
Elizabeth,^ who settled in Saybrook, is supposed to be the
daughter of William ' Comstock of New London.
This volume gives only the descendants" of Samuel ^ Com-
stock of Providence, R. L
Mr. Noah D. Comstock, of Arcadia, Wis., collected prior to
his death in 1890 a large amount of information in reference
to the Comstock family, which has been used.
Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island gives much
information about the early Comstocks in Rhode Island, for
which I am indebted.
Arnold's Vital Statistics of Rhode Island has been of great
service. The best authorities are of course probate records.

The court records of Hartford sliow that Samuel Comstock
gave recognizance i March, 1648, for 10 days of good l)e-
havior and for satisfying what damage Mr. Robins shall sus-
tain for the want of his servant. (Was Samuel apprenticed
to Mr. Robins, and a minor?)
As William Comstock was also at iiariiurd and Wethers-
field. Cl., 1641-1640, and later at New London, where he
died, Samuel of Providence is ])robably his son.
Samuel Comstock bought of John Smith his house and lot
in Providence, R. L, r March, 1654.
The Town Council of Providence took action about estates
of Samuel Comstock and John Smith deceased, on g March,
1660. On 4 May, 166 1, Anne Smith of Providence, widow of
John Smith, formerly wife of Samuel Comstock, deceased, sold
to Roger Mowry the house and home share of her husband,
Samuel Comstock. It comprised four acres in a row of houses
in the north part of Providence. Mr. W. W. Chapin states that
it was near the corner of North Main and Abbott Streets, and
probably bounded west by Sexton Street. Children:

Aug., 1 710, Capt. Samuel Comstock ordered Henry Mowry
of 2 Company to impress men to go to Port Royal. He had
a long controversy with the town of Mendon over ownership
of 900 acres of land on present State line between Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island. On 21 Nov., 1698, the selectmen of
Mendon gave Samuel Comstock '-' free liberty to cut so much
timber as will be necessary for their use viz. : to build the Saw
mill and Dam at the Falls upon the Great River." May 6,

kinson, whose daughter Zibiah married Ichabod, w-as a Quaker.
Before his death, 1726-7, he selected a smooth stone and cut
his initials on it, and it was erected at his grave. Mr. Com-
stock, a Quaker preacher, deemed it a vain thing and broke it
in pieces. One hundred and forty years later a great-grand-
son of Samuel Wilkinson placed the pieces on his grave in the
old Quaker burying-ground at Woonsocket, R. I. The
Quaker preacher was probably Samuel,^ son of Samuel ^ of

From the Court files of Essex Co., Mass.. (ii , p. 06 and ]• <j.j.t it
appears that Capt. Kempo Sybando of Pequit. R. I. (New London).
brought suit, Oct. 15, 1653, at Boston, against Edward Hull. Walter
Joy, and Thomas Gould, for taking away all his go<Kls in 1
house at Block Island. In this suit William Baker and V-
testitied that being at Kempo Sybando's in Block Isl. '■ '
Comstock and others came up to the house; that Samuel ' ' k
"told mc he had a warrant from the Governor hn
Winthrop) to fetch mc off the island. l)ecau-' ' a
war suddenly betwixt the Dutch and the 1 and t il
was not fitting for a man and a woman so; so 1 n-plied that 1 durst
not resist the Governor's warrant, and so ]
their help carried the goods aboard, so wh.
Kempo Sybando was taken at Connecticut by Edwanl Hull, then he
told me that I was taken as a prize together with tl
mc a large piece of parchment which '
I begged that they would save my lif(. .
my wife ashore where I would, so they set us ashore at Pcquot. »o
when Mr. Winthrop had examined mc. he '•'''

226 Notes
Francis Bennett swore in Court before Increase Newell, 26 August
1653, that he and Samuel Comstock did jointly and severally buy of
Richard George (of Boston), the bark called the Swallow, whereof
Edward Hull went master.
Ralph Earle, Sr., of Portsmouth, R. I., deposed that "Samuel
Comstock came to Rhode Island, with Edward Hull, upon the bark
called the Swallow ' frigott ' ; of this bark Samuel Comstock was owner
one eighth part, and was employed in and upon this bark upon a man
of war design against the Dutch, and had the interest of one eighth
part upon ditto design; who sold his interest unto Ralph Earle, and I
Ralph Earle sold this eighth part of all as 'pryzeners ' [?] that was due
or [ ] had been taken, unto Edward Hull. . . . Edward Hull
received two thirds of all the prizes and other goods, one third being
for the bark the other third for the ' vittualing' . . . "
Acknowledged before William Stebbins, 12 Sept., 1653. *
On May 18, 1653, the General Court of Conn, ordered that 60 men
be pressed, with provisions for two months.
The Commissioners of the United Colonies, at this time in session
in Boston, decided that "if God called the Colonies to make war against
the Dutch," 500 men would be necessary, and apportioned 65 men
to Conn. (Public Records of Conn., vol. i., pages 25, 241, 242.)
