The Comforts lived closer to Red Lick. Actually at the Dennis Cross Roads. Yes, One of the ladies was called "Sis" . I live about a mile and half from the old Comfort place. It is now a pine forest. They harvested a couple years ago and now most of it is new growth. About the Smith's. That is a common name in this part of Jefferson County. How many children did John and Mary have and what are their names? They must have went to school at Red Lick. There are still some old timers around here that might remember them How long did they live in this are? I need just a little more information ... are were they in the black or white community?.

They were black. Dr. Stanton tells me the family were sharecroppers for the Comforts I located them on the 1930 Census. Apparently there were some troubles with one of the boys and the grandson is trying to find more out about the family. Ann, do you know if any of the newspaper records are still in the courthouse or did they burn?
