Notes	COMSTOCK FAMILIES William Comstock, the ancestor of the Comstock families in Montville, Miss Caulkins says, "came from Hartford in 1649, and lived to old age in his house upon Post Hill," New London. His wife Elizabeth was aged fifty-five in 1663. He is supposed to have come to this country between the years 1630 and 1637, and first settled near Boston and afterwards removed to Hartford. His property in New Londonwas inherited by his son Daniel and grandson William, son of John. Miss Caulkins thinks it probable that Daniel and John were the only children of William Comstock, Sr. From sources which appear reliable, it would appear that William Comstock and Elizabeth, his wife, had six children when he removed to Hartford, and all born previous to his immigration into this country, vix.: John, Elizabetlh, Daniel, Samuel, Christopher, and Gideon. John settled in Lyme, Samuel in Providence, Daniel and Gideon in New London, and Christopher in Norwalk. That Samuel settled in Providence is quite certain, for the records show that about 1640, or a little subsequent to that time, Daniel Comstock claimed twenty-five acres of land in Providence, R.I. It is said that he was onlyalbout 10 years old at the time, and went to New London with a friend and settled there. At this time Samuel was in trouble at Hartford, and was released from his bond to keep the peace in 1649. On March 1, 1654, Samuel Comstock appears upon the records at Providence as the purchaser of a house and lot, and in 1655 he appears to have had some difficulty, and the person who had given bonds for himwas allowed to settle the case. This Samuel Comstock married Ann ________ of Providence in 1650. He had a son, Samuel, born ______ 1654, and great-grandson Gideon, b. 4 Nov., 1709. Noah D.
