IX FOREWORD Over thirty years ago ancestral charts were prepared by Donald Lines Jacobus, F ....\. S.. G., for his cousin, Stephen Estes Comstock and the latter's wife, Martha i\delia Thomas. With that as a basis this volume was compiled with many additions and some corrections and with the very valuable assistance of Mr. Jacobus both on his own cousinly lineage and most of the other Connecticut famiJies, with which he is so outstandingly familiar. The direct Thomas lineage was prepared for Mr. Jacobus by George Andrews Moriarty, Jr., F. A. S. G. for the original work and has in the main been followed here. Acknowledgement has been made in the body of the work to those from whose sources much has been taken. A more complete account of a family is gi,ven where special research was done and the material is not else­ where in print, but the bare line of descent without collaterals is given where the material has heretofor been published. H. MINOT PITMAN, F. A. s. G. BRONXVILLE, NEW y ORK February I964 Xl PART I COMSTOCK AND ALLIED FAMILIES COMSTOCK 1. WILLIAM COMSTOCK, b. England, about 1595, d. New London, Connecticut, probably about 1683; m. in Eng­ land, Elizabeth (Daniel?), b. about 1607, d. after 1663. He is believed to have come to New England about 1635 and shortly thereafter removed to Wethersfield, Conn . •.\ History and Genealogy of the Comstock Family in .-\merica by John •.\dams Comstock (1949), hereinafter referred to as the Comstock Gen., points out that there is no proof or likelihood that the family originated in Germany as the Komstohk family of Frankfort-on-Main. Considerable research has failed to prove the right of the •.\merican Comstocks to the coat-of-arms often attributed to them. William Comstock held land in Wethersfield, Connecticut Colony, in 1641, purchased from Richard Miles. Before that he was one of the twenty-six men from Wethersfield in the expedition in the Pequot War commanded by Capt. John Mason that captured the Pequot Fort at Mystic, Conn., 26 May 1637, slaughtering about 500 Indians. He received a grant of land in 1647 at Pequot, now New Lon­ don, to which he moved in 1650. In 1651 he "wrought on the mill dam,'' establishing a corn mill at New London. On 25 Jan. 1659 with the consent of "my now wife Elizabeth" he sold property in New London (N.L. Deeds 3:75). He always signed by mark W.C. John Adams Comstock in the above cited work, p. 1, considered this an indication that Elizabeth was his second wife. As a matter of fact this was a phrase common enough at the time, especially in wills, which merely meant that the wife at the time was the one intended and was a sort of safe guard in case the grantor or testator should remarry at a later date. There seems to have been no other indication that William Comstock had more than one wife. The wife of William has been called, without citing any authority or evidence, Elizabeth I 2 COMSTOCK-THOMAS ANCESTRY Daniels (ib. p. 2). Elizabeth Comstock testified on 12 Sept. 1662, aged about 55 (New London Town Records, 1647-66, p. 94). On 25 Feb. 1661/2 "Old Goodman Comstock" was elected Sexton of the Church ''to order youth in the meeting house, sweep the meeting house and beat out the dogs'' for ten shillings a year and was paid four shillings to dig all graves for adults and two shillings for children's graves, this to be paid by the Superv~sors. He is said to have lived to an old age on Post Hill near the north corner of Williams and Vauxhall Streets. For his five children see Comstock Gen., p. 2. The youngest of four boys and one girl was: 2. CHRISTOPHER COMSTOCK, b. about 1634, d. Nor­ walk, Conn., 28 Dec. 1702; m. (rec. at Norwalk) 6 Oct. 1663, Bannah Platt, b. Milford, Conn., 1 Oct. 1643, d. ·there, after 1713 daughter of Richard and Mary Platt, q.v. Donald Lines Jacobus in his Families of Old Fairfield, here­ inafter referred to as F.O.F., Vol. 1, p. 156 says he was probably son of William above. Since three of his children bore the same names as three of his four supposed brothers and sisters the circumstantial evidence seems very strong. He settled in Fairfield 1654 (Hinman's Early Puritan Settlers) and soon removed to Norwalk, Conn. In 1654 he testified to visiting the convicted witch, Goodwife Knapp, who was later executed and in 1692 he served on the Grand Jury which in­ dicted Mercy Disbrow and others for witchcraft. He kept an inn at Norwalk (Holman's Stevens Miller Anc., 1: 479). He was Deputy fo: Norwalk to the Connecticut General Court in Oct. 1686, May and June 1689 and May 1690. Hinman says Christopher Comstock brought with him from England a silver tankard with his coat-of-arms upon it but if brought at all, it must have been brought by his father as Christopher was a mere babe at the time of his parents' immi­ gration, if, indeed, he was not actually born in New England. It was said to have been given to the Church at Wilton, Conn. by his great grandson and unfortunately melted up. THE COMSTOCK LINE 3 His_ will, dated 2 2 Dec. I 70 I, was proved 4 Jan. I 702 / 3. It bequeathed a Bible to every grandchild. For his eight children see F.O.F., I :I 57 or Comstock Gen. p.

  • 34. Old Alresford Place
    OLD ALRESFORD PLACE , OLD ALRESFORD By Vincent Pemberton On the corner of the lane leading up to the village of Bighton and opposite the parish church of Old Alresford, is a large country house, standing in its own grounds and surrounded by well- established beech trees, lawns and flower beds. Whilst it gives the impression of being a private residence, it is in fact the Winchester Diocesan Retreat and Conference house, and was for over three centuries, the Rectory. When first built it was much smaller, but in the early part of the seventeenth century was enlarged. It's history up to the present day, is very interesting, in fact, I would venture the opinion that the village of Old A1resford is much the richer by having this old house in its midst. Further additions were made in later years and. I will comment on these in due course, but meantime would like to give you some information regarding the Rectors who were resident during the period covering the seventeenth to the early part of the twentieth centuries. No details seem to be available as to when the Rectory was built or even whether it was reconstructed from an older building, but we do know that it was in situ in the year 1620 when Dr. Hamlet Marshall was Rector. Dr. Marshall left the parish in 1633 when he exchanged Livings with Dr. Peter Heylyn, a man of letters, and Chaplain to King Charles the first. This exchange was by command of the King who required the presence of his Chaplain when the Court came to Winchester.

In the present Volume are printed the Registers of seven Devonshire parishes, and the Editor hopes that now a series \ for Devonshire has been commenced all the Parish Registers ^ of the County may be included in it. ^^ In the neighbouring counties much progress has been V made in this direction in the last few years, and we may -^ anticipate equal interest will be taken in the work of pre- \\ serving—through the means of the Press—the ancient Parish Registers of this County. In Cornwall upwards of 85, and in Somerset 79 Marriage Registers have been printed, while in the Dorset series, much more recently commenced, 36 Registers have already been rendered available by publication, and it is hoped that not less rapid progress will be effected in Devonshire. 13791 G4 The contents of the present Volume show how needful it is that steps should be taken to print our Parish Registers and place them beyond risk of destruction. Of the seven parishes included, only that of Uffculme possesses a Register going back to the earliest period of 1538 ; five do not com- mence until the seventeenth century and one not till 1752.

  • The Cathedral Church of Exeter by Percy Addleshaw
    Bell's Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Exeter by Percy Addleshaw EXETER CATHEDRAL. HISTORY OF THE CHURCH OF ST. MARY AND ST. PETER IN EXETER. The history of any ancient cathedral must always be interesting, and that of Exeter is no exception, though "it supplies less of architectural history than those churches whose whole character has been altered over and over again." A cathedral represents not only the spiritual, but the active, laborious, and artistic life of past generations. The bishop, too, was in many ways the head man of the province, and combined, not seldom, the varied qualities of priest, warrior, and statesman. The acts of such ecclesiastics were full of importance, not for their own city only, but often also for the whole nation. As men who had frequently travelled much and studied deeply, they summoned to their aid in the building and beautifying of their churches the most skilled artists end artificers of their time; so, with the story of the lives of the bishops of a diocese, the history of a cathedral's building is inextricably woven. To be elevated to a bishopric generally meant to be put into possession of great wealth—when Veysey became bishop the revenues of the see of Exeter have, by some authors, been computed at £100,000; Canon Hingeston-Randolph puts them, with more reason and authority, at the sum of £30,000—and a large portion of this money was spent on works connected with the chief church of the diocese. It is not wonderful, therefore, this generosity being joined to marvellous skill and taste, that our old cathedrals are at once the despair and envy of the modern architect.
