This branch of the Coltons are connected by mar- riage to Hon. Noah Webster, Goodriches and Ellsworths. These facts are gathered from all sources, and with few dates, and probably some errors.
This family have produced many clergymen, some deacons and some poets.
Twenty-one had graduated at Yale College before 1851. One at Brown University in 1834.
COMSTOCK, COMBSTOKE, KOMSTOCK, WILLIAM and SAMUEL, were both early at Hartford. Wm. was in court at Hartford in August, 1644, and again in 1649. Samuel was in court at Hartford, and gave a bond in March, 1648, and in April, 1649, was freed from his recognizance. Soon after this, both William and Samuel disappeared. Samuel probably went to Rhode Island. There was a Welchman by this name who early settled in R. Island, and as Samuel, of Hartford, is not found in Conn. afterward, it is

probable being a brother of William, and the latter going to New London to settle, that Samuel went with him and settled in R. I., near by his brother Wm. at N. L.
Comstock, Samuel, at an early period, had the following children b. in R. I., viz., Samuel, Jun., Hazadiah, Thomas, Daniel, Eliza- beth, John, Ichabod and Job.
COMSTOCK, HAZADIAH, Samuel's second son, had fifteen chil- dren, ten by his first and five by his second wife, viz .: Susannah, Wmn., Gideon, Rachel, Catherine, Hazadiah, Jun., Penelope, An- thony, Andrew, John, Amy, Ezekiel, Phebe, Rufus and Martha.
COMSTOCK, GIDEON, second son of Hazadiah, Sen., was the father of Col. Adam Comstock, who was the grandfather of Andrew Komstok, of Philadelphia, Penn. Col. Adam had seventeen children, viz .: Ruth, Win., Susannah, Gideon, John and. Mary, twins, also twins not named, Freelove, Samuel, Amy, Catherine, Sally, Oliver Cromwell, Alpha, James McGregore, and Alexander McGregore Comstock.
COMSTOCK, COL. ADAM, removed with his family, about 1780, to Saratoga county, N. Y., where he .d., in 1819, an aged man. Gideon, his fourth son, was the father of Andrew Komstock, of Phil- adelphia. Gideon also had a dau'r Mary. Rev. Oliver C. Com- stock was son of Col. Adam ; he was chaplain for Congress in 1837. He was a physician and Baptist minister. He was member of Con- gress from Tompkins county, N. Y., six years, and baptized and ordained at Washington, at the close of his congressional life. He had held other places of high trust before he went to Congress.
Thus much for Samuel, of Hartford and Rhode Island.
COMSTOCK, CHRISTOPHIER, of Fairfield and Norwalk, his descendants say, came from England about 1652, and settled at Fairfield about 1654, where he remained until 1661 or '62. Jan. 27, 1661, he was of Fairfield, when he purchased the house and home-lot of Tho's Betts, of Norwalk, which had previously been owned by Nath'l Eli. He probably moved on to his new purchased property soon after, at Norwalk, where he was a reputable man and useful settler. No evidence is found which shows that he was a relative either of John, of Lyme, W'm., of N. London, or Samuel, of Rhode Island. Ile m. Hannah, dau'r of Richard Platt, of Milford, Oct. 6, 1663. After he located at Norwalk, about 1671, he was ap- pointed at Norwalk to keep an ordinary, (hotel,) to entertain stran- gers.
