From sources which appear reliable, it would appear that William Comstock and Elizabeth, his wife, had six chil- dren when he removed to Hartford, and all born previous to his immigration into this country, viz .: John, Elizabeth, Dan- iel, Sammel, Christopher, and Gideon. John settled in Lyme, Samuel in Providence, Daniel and Gideon in New London, and Christopher in Norwalk. That Samuel settled in Provi- dence is quite certain, for the records show that about 1646, 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 only about 16 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 pur- chaser of a house and lot, and in 1655 he appears to have had some difficulty, and the person who had given bonds for him was allowed to settle the case. This Sammel Comstock mar- ried Ann
son, Samuel, born
of Providence in 1650. He had a eon, b. 4 Nov., 1709.

continued in the Comstock families down to the present time. The Comstock Cemetery is located on a portion of this land. Soon after he settled on his purchase a bounty was offered on the inhabitants of New London of twenty shillings per head for wolves killed. These perilous animals infested the swamps and woods in the north and west part of the town, and were very troublesome to the new settlers. Mr. Com- stock, on one occasion killed one of these animals, and received the bounty offered. He died in 1683. It is not known from the records how many children he had. On the church records of New London there are but two entries of the bap- tism of his children; these are
