Hannah is one of four children born to Ezekiel Comstock and Mary Russell. Her siblings were Henry, Waite, and Phebe. Hannah has one half-sister from her father’s second marriage. Her name was Martha Comstock. Some records show that Hannah married a James Gardner, have not yet confirmed if this is true at this time. Date of Death, is not known at this time for Hannah Comstock. Ezekiel Comstock was born the 1st of May 1733 in Smithfield, Providence County Rhode Island. Ezekiel married twice, first to Mary Russell in about 1765, then to Martha Arnod on the 30th of June 1757. He is one of five children born to Hassadiah Comstock and Martha Balcom. His siblings were: Ann, Phebe, Rufus and Martha. Ezekiel has ten half siblings from his father’s first Marriage:, they are: Susannah, William, Gideon, Rachael, Catherine, Hassadiah, Penelope, Anthony, Andrew and John. Ezekiel Comstock died in Smithfield Rhode Island on the 6th of July 1777. Hassadiah (Hazadiah) was born on the 16th of April 1682 in Providence, Rhode Island. He married twice, first to Catharine Pray in 1706, then to Martha Balcom on the 10th of August 1730. He is one of eight children born to Samuel Comstock and Elizabeth Arnold. His siblings were, Samuel, Thomas, Daniel, Elizabeth, John, Ichabod, and Job. Hassadiah (Hazadiah) Comstock died in Smithfield, Providence Rhode Island on the 21st of February 1764. Samuel Comstock was born in Providence Rhode Island in 1654. He married Elizabeth Arnold on the 22nd of November 1678. He is one of two children born to Samuel Comstock and Ann Tucker. His siblings name was Daniel Comstock. Samuel Comstock died on the 27th of May 1727 in Smithfield, Providence, Rhode Island. Samuel Comstock was born in 1628. The date and location of Samuel’s Marriage to Ann Tucker is not known at this time. He is believed to be the son of William Comstock and Elizabeth Daniels but this has not yet been proved. The last name of Samuel’s Wife is missing in most documentation. But was found in a document entitled New England Marriage Prior to 1700 from the Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore Maryland, 1985 on Page 175. It is listed as Qnn Tucker, but since other references list the first name as Ann, with no reference to the last name. I will conjecture that his spouses name is Ann Tucker. Samuel Comstock died in 1660 in Providence Rhode Island. Most records indicate that William is Samuels Father. William is not listed in the Great Migration books and there are no records of him in the colonies before 1634. The first record of him is in 1637, where he is listed as having been one of the twenty-six men from Wetherfield in an expedition commanded by Capt John Mason that. The exact date he arrived in the new land and on which ship has not been determined. The origins of the Comstock family name is likely a place name in England: Culmstock, Devonshire, England. A History of the Descendants of the Comstock Family in America says: "The name Comstock undoubtedly traces to a village in Devonshire, England, called Culmstock which is located on the River Culm some ten miles east of Tiverton and an equal distance south of Taunton. In 1635 the Comstock’s came to America to the Massachusetts settlements." However, the actual origins of William Comstock have not been discovered. The Comstock family is listed as one of the early settlers in the “A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, before 1692. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
