You have apparently misread Comstock's in America. It says William was married twice,first wife unknown, second wife Elizabeth Daniel, mother of children unknown.

Exact quotes are:

"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 second wife."

"Family 1 WILLIAM1 COMSTOCK, born in England about 1595; believed to have died about 1683; married (2nd) Elizabeth Daniel(*), b. 1608; d. after 1665."

Then, the book gives an **unauthoritative ** source for the name Elizabeth Daniel:

(*)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 William1 Comstock
as "Elizabeth Daniel."

CONCLUSION:

In 1949, when Comstocks in America was written, all that was known that William was married, a second time, to a lady named Elizabeth. A non-authoritative source has suggested her surname might be Daniel. There is/was NO indication of which wife is the mom of the kids.

If you know of a more current workup on the wives and which wife is the mom, would sure appreciate hearing about it, but it did NOT come from Comstocks in America, 1949 edition.
