Claire, I'm like Chuck in that I have Daniel & Mary/Mercy (Sawyer/Sayer) Bullock as Comfort's parents. However, I'm not at all comfortable (no pun intended) with that relationship. The only things found for Daniel & Mary in Arnold's Rehoboth VR are a marriage and one child: Marriages "Bullock, Daniel and Mary Sayer, both of Rehoboth, married by Rev. David Turner April 17, 1744. Int. March 31, 1744." Births "Bullock, Thomas, of Daniel and Marcy, Jan. 26, 1767." [Note that this birth is almost 23 years after the marriage date.] Comfort & Bethia supposedly named their first daughter Mercy--maybe after Comfort's mother--but I find no record of that birth either. The only sources I've seen for Comfort being a son of Daniel & Mary are two LDS Ancestral Files, but those files can be very unreliable just like any other user-contributed files without sources. Probably the best bet for finding proof of Daniel's parents would be in a land deed. If Comfort & Bethia sold land received from his father, the names of all of them might be mentioned in the deed. Of course there could be other town VRs that aren't included on the Bristol Co. MA CD-ROM that might have some of Comfort's or his parents' records. Or there could be something in the adjacent counties or in RI.
