Descendants of William Comstock


Generation No. 1

1. WILLIAM1 COMSTOCK1 was born 1595 in Culmstock, Devonshire, England1, and died 1683, New London Co., CT. He married on 8 Jan. 1608-16651 ELIZABETH (DANIEL) COMSTOCK1. b. January 08, 1607/08 in England - d. aft. 1665. Elizabeth is the daughter of Henry (Robert?) DANIEL b. abt. 1582 in England.


COMSTOCK - Origin of the name - Parts quoted from The Comstock Family

Comstock is a place name. Its derivation undoubtedly traces to a village in Devonshire, England, called Culmstock which is located off the River Clum some ten miles east of Tiverton and an equal distance south of Taunton.
The village probably derived its name from the fact that in mediaeval times it was customary to erect "stocks" or stockades around rural communities as a protection against wolves and marauders. This particular stockade being located on the River Clum or Colm came to be designated Colmstocke or Culmstock.
In considering the origin of family names, it must be borne in mind that surnames in England did not become permanent or hereditary until the Eleventh or Twelfth Centruies. Prior to that, a man's given name came to have the additional designation of his vocation such as John (the) Smith or Robert (the) Cooper, or one might be known from the place o his origin, as Thomas de Mille or Peter de Culmstock. Frequently the de (of) was droped as superfluous.
It is not surprising, therefore, to find records in the parish Registers of the small towns of Devonshire and Somersetshire, not far, from Culmstok, of such names as Petro de Columstok, 1241; John de Culmstok, 1189; Robert de Culmstok, 1189.
Samuel Willett Comstock, in his extensive researches in England, found records of some 122 early Comstocks, including that of a family at Timberscomve in the first year of the reign of Richard I (1189), wherein is named John de Culmstok, his wife Alice, and son Rovert. This is the eaarliest known reference to the name as applied to personsl
"I do think from a survey of that country with only two records of William found, that our William went from London to Yeovil or Cussy Rival and raised his family there. Yeovil parish registers 1620-1640 have not so far as I know been published and I think it may possibly contaim them, as there was a Danyell Comstock near by, in town of Closworth, Somerset County, 1614 and 1615." (Samuel Willett Comstock)

A History and Genealogy of the Comstock Family in America
John Adams Comstock

William Comstock --

About 1635, or shortly there after, there came from England to the Massachusetts settlements one William Comstock. From whence he sailed and on what ship, has not been ascertained. It is quite probable that with him were his wife Elizabeth and four, or possibly all five of his children. It is believed that he first sojourned in the vicinity of Watertown, Massachusetts, but that very shortly he transferred to Wethersfield, Connecuticut.
It is a matter of rrecord that he held lands on the Connecticut River in Wethersfield in the year 1641, and that these land had been purchased from on Richard Milles. Prior to taht, he is recorded as having been one of the twenty-six men from Wethersfield in the expedition commanded by Capt. John Mason, that captured the Pequot Fort at Mystic, Connecticut, May 26, 1637, killing about five hundred indians.
About 1650 he transferred to Pequot, now New London, where he had previously (1647) received a grant of land. At a town meeting held there in November, 1650 he voted to cooperate with John Winthrop to establish a corn mill, and in July 1651 he "Wrought on the mill dam" with Tabor and other inhabitants of New London. The old mill is still in existence. (1945)
In 1659 it is recorded that "with consent of my now wife Elizabeth" he sold property in New London. This probably indicates that Elizabeth was a scond wife.
On February 25, 1661 or 62, "Ols Goodman Comstock" was elected Sexton, "to order youth in the meeting house, sweep the meeting house and beat out dogs," at 40 shillings a year, to dig all graves, and have 4s for a grave for a moan or woman, and 2s for children, to be paid by the supervisors.
The date of his death is unknown, but the History of New London states taht he lived to old age, on Post Hill near the north corner of Williams and Bauxhall Streets.
Richard Mylls was plaintiff against "Willi Combstocke" and John Sadler, defedants, in an action for slander, Aug 1, 1644, before the Court of Elections, Hartford, to the damage of 200 pounds.
We have, therefore, as the beginning of our record of the comstock family in America:

In "History of The National Society of Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America" for the fifteenth year, ending May 13, 1913, Mary Ella Comstock (Mrs. Carl J. Vietz) gives the wife of William Comstock as Elizabeth Daniel.

*Notes from: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/5097/comstock.html

The Comstock family has been traced back to Culmstock in Devonshire, England. William Comstock was born in 1595. He married Elizabeth Daniel (born 1608) in 1623. About 1635, William and Elizabeth sailed to the Massachusetts settlements with their five children, John, Samuel, Daniel, Elizabeth and Christopher. Shortly after their arrival they moved to Connecticut, where they settled.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

E. S. COMSTOCK, farmer, P. O. Oak, was born in New London County, Conn., in 1809, where he lived until eight years of age. In 1817, his parents removed to Monroe County, N. Y., where he remained until the spring of 1842. He received the benefit of a common school education, and then took a course at the Brockport Academy. In 1842, went to Wisconsin and located in Milwaukee County, where he remained until 1849; from there he went to Ohio, and after stopping for a short time, went into St. Joseph County, Mich., living there four years; thence to Texas, where he remained for two years engaged in teaching, and then back to Illinois, and in 1858, came to Nebraska and settled in Johnson County; in the spring of 1861, located his present farm on Section 15, in Elk Precinct, consisting of 160 acres; also kept the Government Mail Station on the Overland Route to California, and was appointed Postmaster soon after of Oak Grove, since changed to Oak; in 1863, opened a ranch, and carried a stock of goods to supply the overland travel. In August, 1864, the Indians drove him from the place, burned his buildings together with the goods, ran off his horses, killed his cattle and hogs, killed two men and wounded three more, two of whom died of their wounds at Seneca, in Kansas. He returned to the farm in 1865, and rebuilt his ranch, and stayed there until May, 1867; the stage line was moved , in 1866, south onto the Smokey Hill Route, and the Union Pacific Railroad was completed to Fort Kearney, spoiling the ranch business between Leavenworth and Kearney. He then left the ranch and went into the Black Hills in Wyoming. He lost by the Indians about $20,000. He worked on the Union Pacific Railroad from Cheyenne to Ogden. He then went to the Red River of the North and worked on the Northern Pacific from Fargo to James River in Dakota, and, in November, 1872, returned to his farm in Nuckolls County. In the following year, he was elected County Commissioner for three years; subsequently, was elected for a second time. He is highly respected. Was married near Brockport, N. Y. to Miss Lucinda Cady, daughter of Col. Cady of that place. He has five children, viz.: George, James, Ansel, H. I., and Sarah. Mr. Comstock is fond of relating early anecdotes of Nebraska. While in the State the first time, a noted painter, Bierstadt by name, and Fitzhugh Ludlow, a correspondent of the New York Post, came out on a buffalo hunt. Mr. Comstock and son, and Mr. Munger, the mail agent, in company with the New Yorkers, started out for a hunt. the artist, of course, taking his painting materials along; he got his arrangements ready for making a sketch while the others started out to wound the buffalo and get it to run by the artist so he could make the sketch, but, instead of his running by, he took a bee-line for Mr. Painter and scattered his painting materials to the winds, and would have finished the artist but a shot from one of the party finished Mr. Buffalo; he then painted a scene as it then appeared to him, which he has sold for a fabulous price since.


*From the small book "Trail of Memories". (Very similar to the bibliography above).

"Erastus S. Comstock, given the distinction of being the first permanent settler in Nuckolls County, in histories of early Nuckolls County, was born in New London County, Conn., June 20, 1808, where he lived till the age of eighty years. In 1817, his parents moved to Monroe County, N. Y. He received the benefit of a common school education, and then took a course at the Brockport Academy. In 1832, he was married to Miss Lucinda C. Cody, daughter of Col. Cody,
of Brockport. The family tree lists the following children: George Seldon born in 1833; Frances in 1834; Charles in 1836; James Marvin in 1840; Ansel in 1843; Mary E. in 1845; Harry Jewett in 1847; Willie in 1850; Sarah in 1857 (or 1858); and Lucinda in 1861. In 1842, they went to Wisconsin and remained there till 1849, then on to Ohio, Michigan, Texas and Illinois. In 1858, they came to Nebraska and settled in Johnson County, and in 1861, they came to the Oak Grove Ranch site. Referring again to the family tree, we see that Charles, and Willie died before the move to Nebraska, and that Mrs. Comstock and Lucinda died in Johnson County, Nebraska."

"When the Comstock family came to this area, some of the family were already married, with children of their own."

"At the Oak Grove Ranch, the family carried on a thriving ranch business, taking care of the needs and demands of those traveling on the Oregan Trail, as well as providing for their own families. The family was driven from the farm after the Indian Raids of 1864, but returned in
1865. It is said that they lost about $20,000 because of the Indians. Mr. Comstock left the Ranch in 1867, after the railroads moved into the territory, thus spoiling the ranching business. After this, Mr. Comstock left for a few years, working on the Union Pacific Railroad and on the Northern Pacific."

"In 1872 he returned to the farm in Nuckolls County in Nebraska. In the following year, he was elected county commissioner for three years, and was reelected for a second term. Quoting from the history, "He is highly respected".

"Mr. Comstock was appointed postmaster at Oak Grove, February 14, 1866, but we read that this office was discontinued on Oct. 10, of the same year. Later, he was again appointed in June, 1874 and served till Feb. 27, 1878. He also helped to form an Oak Grove Cemetery Association.
In an article on Nuckolls County, by F. A. Scherzinger, credit and glory of opening the Nuckolls County territory, is given to Mr. Comstock, who with his four sons and three daughters settled at Oak Grove Ranch. He goes on to say "During the strenuous years of pioneer life spent in
attempts at farming and ranching, they rightfully gained the title of 'heroes'". In December issues of the Nelson Gazette in 1894, we learn that "Grandpa Comstock, the "Father of Nuckolls County" was very ill at the residence of his son, George. Then in the Feb. 7, 1895 issue, we
read, "Erastus S. Comstock, one of the first settlers in this county, died at his home, near Oak, last week. He has a history too well known to our readers to be repeated at this time. He with his family was driven from the county in the pioneer days, but returned and has been one of our prosperous citizens ever since. He was laid to rest in the Oak Cemetery. (His death date was "either Jan. 29 or 30, 1895".)"

EARLY HISTORY.

The history of Nuckolls County commences with the "great trail" period for the overland route from St. Joe, Mo., to California that entered Nebraska on the south of Jefferson County, passed through the northern part of this or along the course of the Little Blue.

Settlements were attempted as early as 1858, about the time Jefferson and Thayer Counties received their first white settlers, but being almost on the extreme border of the frontier, the bold leaders in the van of westward emigration were not permitted by the savage occupants to see civilization established, but paid their lives for the security that is to-day so rapturously enjoyed by the citizens of Nuckolls County. These fertile hills and valleys were watered and sanctified by their blood, and among a few we were shocked by the little reverence paid to their memory -- ingratitude for the blessings that daily surround their paths and hover o'er their peaceful and refreshing slumbers. Credit belongs to those who came in 1870, but glory to those who came before.

The Mormons passed through the county along the course of the Little Blue on their hegira westward to Salt Lake, making the first road or trail in Nuckolls County, which was in 1858 adopted, straightened, bridged and used by the Government and in transporting supplies to the different military posts along the frontier, in the mountains and to California.

In 1859, Butterfield started the Pony Express over this road, which, considering the time and route, was a hazardous enterprise. The same year, Russell & Waddell started the Overland Stage Line and established stations along the route in Nuckolls, the most noted of which was Oak Grove.

E. S. Comstock is the oldest settler now in the county, arriving here as early as 1858, who, with his family and the other ranchmen along this route, deserves the credit and glory of opening Nuckolls County and the territory of Southern Nebraska and preparing the road for the establishment of farms and happy and prosperous homes by the coming tide of emigration.

In 1861, Mr. Comstock purchased Oak Grove, situated on the Little Blue, in the eastern part of the county, whither he moved his family, consisting of himself and seven children, four boys and three girls. Here he remained until 1867, through the severest period of the county's history, farming a little and keeping a ranch. The trials of the family and other settlers during this period can be found in the article on Indian troubles. Read them and you will acknowledge him and his sons and daughters, most of whom are still in the neighborhood of Oak Grove, as the heroes of the county.

Oak Grove Ranch was rebuilt in 1865, having been destroyed in the great raid of 1864, and the Comstock family were joined by two others that settled south of the Little Blue. The names of the families we are unable to discover. In 1867, during the Indian raids, the county was abandoned by white settlers, excepting a man by the name of John Lorrimer, who could not be induced to go. He was warned of the danger the fearful hazard of remaining at the mercy of so powerful and compassionless an enemy. He declared his intention of remaining, believing he was able to escape their fury. But in less than two weeks he fell a victim to the merciless tomahawk and scalping-knife, leaving in the hands of the Indians a good span of horses and his weapons of defense, with which they were better prepared to carry on their work of exterminating the pioneers.

The next attempt at settlement was made two years later, 1869, by Philip and Henry Michaels at Oak Grove. Previous to this the Government had sent soldiers into the county, but they were of little advantage then as the county was empty of white settlers.

In 1870, Thayer County becoming quite well settled, and soldiers being stationed near the Nuckolls County line, the Indians were less bold and troublesome and were moving westward. The coast being comparatively quiet, settlers became more numerous.

Adam Simington, James and William Beacham, Louis Schum and D. W. Montgomery came in that year and were followed in 1871 by R. Hollingworth, A. R. Downing, C. C. Fletcher, E. L. Downing, Joseph Allen, Joseph Hannum, Mr. Naylor, E. Vanderword, J. M. Cook, G. D. Follmer, E. C Davis, James Campbell, James Roberts, George A. Felton, Dr. Schenk, E. Reed, M. Morris, J. Fletcher, Flavius Naylor, F. Werner, John Marshall, W. P. Trent, A. Wiggin, W. R. Fuller, H. Abbott, James Candy, Rufus Culp, J. G. Graham, J. Downer, S. W. Doss, Isaac Fisher, Frank Yaw, J. E. McClimans, C. W. Goodman, A. I. Edwards, Thomas Johnson, Joseph and Willis Henby, R. J. Harmon, C. W. Uplinger, J. M. Clules, William and Robert Loudan, and Louis and William Crabil, Peter Younker, Andrew and Joseph Bonhart, Charles Mills, Thomas Downing, John Curry and L. M. Unger. These, or most of them alt least, may be considered as the fathers of the organization which was effected later.
