    • FAMILY 4. 4. DANIEL2 Comstock [William1], m. Paltiah, daughter of John Elderkin. Caulkins (History of Norwich) says John Elderkin,carpenter and miller, the first proprietor of the "Cove," emigrated to America in 1637, coming first to Lynn and then to Dedham. Mr. W. W. Chapin of Providence, says he was in Providence "about 1650 when Daniel2 Comstock was here. As Elderkin must have had a family at the time, this would furnish a motive for the migration of Daniel from Providence to New London." (See Note II.)

      Daniel2 Comstock, 29 Jan., 1646, acknowledges a free grant of 25 A. from Providence.

      Daniel2 Comstock, Providence, 24 June, 1648, and other young men arrested for giving a false Indian alarm.

      Of the children given below those marked with a star are given in Blake's Later History of the ist Church of Christ, New London, as the children of G. Comstock, and Baker's Montville follows Blake, calling their father Gideon. But as there is no other trace of such a Gideon, and as it is known that Daniel2 had a son Daniel3 and four daughters, the children below are probably all of Daniel.2

      On Dec. 17, 1697, Peeter Strickland receipts to his brother-in- law Daniel Comstock, administrator of the estate of his father Daniel Comstock, for twelve pounds, for Samuel Young and Thomas Halliox of Southold, L.
