JEFFERSON COUNTY, NEW YORK


BIBLE RECORD

We are indebted to Marilyn Sapienza for the these records of a Comstock Family Bible.


From a grandson of Levi Comstock, name unknown, who inherited the family bible and provided this information:

"Levi was buried at Plessis, Jefferson Co., NY beside Grandmother. I was present at the burial in Brookside Cemetery. My grandfather, Levi Comstock, and Grandmother Jane (Forrester) Comstock, graves unmarked. Also buried there by the side of Emma Comstock are those of her father, William Richardson Comstock, b. 20 May 1825, d 30 Sept. 1853."

Additional information provided from the above individual:

"I knew Merrick Comstock in 1873; he lived on the north side of Grendadier Island about opposite Mallorytown. He was a cousin of some degree, two or three times removed..he was then about 40 or more..there is a family burial plot at the old place on Grenadier Island nearly central from east to west. They (Merrick) lived there until 1856, then to my father's farm 3 miles south of Alexandria Bay until 1859, when they returned to Leeds Co., locating about one mile west of Mallorytown, at Kelly's Crossing on Grand Trunk Railway..."
