Hello Everyone- The RI surnames I'm working on are Comstock @ Spink. I'm most interested right now in William Comstock(b 1717-18 E. Greenwich, d 1787 W. Greenwich, wife Ann Spink.)His daughter Lydia (b 14 April, 1752)supposedly married a man named Comstock(? 1st name) and had 2 sons, Levi & Aaron, and I am looking for anything on Levi & his father(name would be nice!).Lydia's second husband was Warren Matteson,with whom she had sons, but it is Levi that my family descends through. Sound like anything that anyone knows about? Tami Caporaso Find the best deals on the web at AltaVista Shopping! http://www.shopping.altavista.com
Tami, Lydia Comstock's father did not mention any children of another marriage in his will; however he does mention a grandson named Aaron: "William Comstock was deputy from W. Greenwich, R. I., May, 1768. Will of William Comstock of W. Greenwich, dated Jan. 12, 1787, recorded March 20, 1787, gives to son Thomas and daughters Deliverance Matteson, Anna Arnold and Sarah Olin 70-80 A. of land (proviso that Deliverance Matteson to give her daughter Esther Arnold $40); to son John, 60 A.; half of house to John and Elizabeth; to grandson Aaron and daughter Elizabeth rest of homestead farm; to sons Ishmael and David $1 each; to grandsons Moses, Israel, and William Matteson, sons of deceased daughter Lydia, $1 each; to loving wife Anna Comstock rest of personal estate; Anna Comstock executrix."
