ABOUT 1635, OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THERE CAME from England to the Massachusetts settlements one William Comstock. From whence he sailed, and on what ship, has not been ascertained. It is quite probable that with him were his wife Elizabeth and four, or possibly all five of his children. It is believed that he first sojourned in the vicinity of Watertown, Massachusetts, but that very shortly he transferred to Wethersfield, Connecticut.
It is a matter of record that he held lands on the Connecticut River in Wethersfield in the year 1641, and that these lands had been purchased from one Ric. Milles. Prior to that, he is recorded as having been one of the twenty-six men from Wethersfield in the expedition commanded by Capt. John Mason, that captured the Pequot Fort at Mystic, Connecticut, May 26, 1637, killing about five hundred Indians.
About 1650 he transferred to Pequot, now New London, where he had previously (1647) received a grant of land. At a town meeting held there in November, 1650, he voted to cooperate with John Winthrop to establish a corn mill, and in July 1651 he "Wrought on the mill dam" with Tabor and other inhabitants of New London. The old mill is still in existence.
In 1659 it is recorded that "with consent of my now wife Elizabeth" he sold property in New London. This probably indicates that Elizabeth was a second wife.
On February 25, 1661 or '62, "Old Goodman Comstock" was elected Sexton, "to order youth in the meeting house, sweep the meeting house and beat out dogs," at 40 shillings a year, to dig all graves, and have 4s for a grave for a man or woman, and 2s for children, to be paid by the supervisors.
The date of his death is unknown, but the History of New London states that he lived to old age, on Post Hill near the north corner of Williams and Vauxhall Streets.
Richard Mylls was plaintiff against "Willi Combstocke" and John Sadler, defendants, in an action for slander, Aug. 1, 1644, before the Court of Elections, Hartford, to the damage of 200 pounds. | Comstock, William (I66310)

About 1664, he was one of the first Proprietors of Mendon, MA. Ferdinando Thayer is listed on the Founders' Park tablet as the first settler of Mendon, Mass. 1669, On a committee to purchase land from Indians in Mendon, MA. 1672, Land purchase in Mendon, MA. Between 1675 - 1679, Was in Braintree, then returned to Mendon. (Source: The Proprietors' Records of the Town of Mendon, Massachusetts, (1899, Rockwell and Churchhill, Boston), page 11, 12, 86)
"He was a man of wealth, according to the standards of the day, and in 1689 paid the largest amount of any person in town toward the support of the Rev. Ranson -- three pounds, 13 shillings, 7 pence."
In May of 1700, when Ferdinando Thayer of Mendon petitioned the Superior Court at Boston saying that his wife, Ann Freeberry, "an Eastern woman" abused him verbally, calling him "old devil" and many unmentionable names, and that he feared for his life, the court heard several testimonies. Members of the Thayer family claimed that she called the Scripture a pack of lies and that she would argue with her husband and then cry "Murder" when anyone came to his aid. Ferdinando clearly wanted her to live somewhere else, but his offered settlement was of little interest to her.
"This deponent Ensigne Henery Story of rehoboth being desired by Ann thayre to give in what he knew concerning an Agreement between her husband Farthinando Thayr and she being of full age - testifieth and saith that the said Ann Thayr on the 28th of September 1700 desire me to go to the house of her husband Farthinandoe Thayres of Mendon to here what she should say to him: where she tendered herselfe to Live with her said Husband declaring also to him her extremity for want of Cloathing and other nessesary things to which he replied he had nott for himselfe but must be beholden to his children: and would nott give a direct answer to her for the supply her nessesarys but wholy enclined to make some Agreement with her for to give her fourty shillings per year and so be shaft of her to which she saw nott cause to accept but rather thought it best to informe the Court; ther was also ther oraginally Justice Sprague of Providence and Dennis darling of sd Mendon which Can and will testifie to the above written if Called ther unto and further saith nott" - (Sworn 1 October 1700, Suffolk Files #4845)
When the arguements grew heated, Dennis Darling is said to have come to the aid of Mrs. Thayer, who continued to agitate for her maintenance much to the embarassment of her husband and his sons. Ferdinando Thayer countered that she had secretly conveyed many things out of his house, and that he was more than 80 years old and unable to support himself, but lived on the sufference of his sons. The many surviving documents of this case do not reveal its conclusion, but surviving tax lists for Mendon suggest that Thayer was one of its most affluent residents. Ferdinando died in 1713 at a considerable age. Since one of Ferdinando's relatives and one of Dennis' daughters had produced an illegitimate child in 1687, no doubt this controversy with Mrs. Thayer was considerably emotionally charged. | Thayer, Ferdinando (I15057)

About 1816, "August Jones" is listed as owner of a sloop named "Mercator" built by the firm Hall & Hull. The sloop navigated the Saybrook river and Long Island Sound.
!Old Saybrook History
Before the War of 1812, Augustus Jones and William Murdock had been ship builders on the Connecticut River. A raid by the British had put them out of business. In 1820 they accepted land grants near the mouth of Black River from the government. Here Jones and Murdock started shipbuilding and the first employed working men were ship builders from the east.
Soon other shipyards were established, not only along the river but also along the lake shore both east and west of Black River, where wooden ships were built and launched. The first steam boat launched here slipped from the ways of the F. N. Jones yard in 1837. She was christened "The Bunker Hill." Some of the early ship builders soon became ship owners. Fleets of schooners sailed in and out of Black River carrying the community's commerce over the only means of transportation by water. In 1836 all vessel owners here joined themselves into the Black River Steamboat Association.
!A History of Lorain, Written by J.B. Nichols, 1924
AUGUSTUS JONES, one of the pioneer shipbuilders on the lakes, was born in Essex, Conn., in 1782, and belonged to a race of sea captains and ship builders. The early part of his career was passed in New England, and during the war of 1812, when the British burned the ships in the Connecticut River, his vessels were destroyed. As a compensation the government granted him a tract of land at Black River, now Lorain, Ohio, and he started for the Western Reserve with an ox-team and covered wagon. No record is left of the perils and privations of this journey, but he certainly experienced all the hardships, which the pioneers were forced to endure when traveling to what was then the Far West. After a struggle of two years he had established a shipyard, built a log house, and made a home for his family, who then joined him. Mr. Jones worked at various points on the lakes, but retained his home at Black River until his death in 184.r, at the age of fifty-nine years.
Mr. Jones married Saba Murdock, of Saybrook, Conn., a lady of education and refinement, who heroically endured her lot, and died from the effects of hardships incident to life on the frontier. Their children were: William Augustus; Benjamin Buel; George Washington; Frederick Nelson; James Madison; Maria, wife of Captain Whittaker; Fannie, wife of Capt. Joel McQueen; Mehitable, wife of A. C. Jones, clerk on a steamboat; and Marie Antoinette, wife of Sir Francis Drake, a descendant of the celebrated English navigator. For several years the father and sons were associated in shipbuilding, but after his death they established individual shipyards at Lorain, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit. Altogether the Jones family was one of the most noted in the development of the lake marine.

From Manuscript Records Of Captain Augustus Walker
About the year 1824 or '25, there was a marked improvement in the models and general construction of sail vessels, creating a new era in ship-building; much of which was due to the taste and skill of Capt. Fairbanks Church, and Captain Augustus Jones, who came from the East and established shipyards at the mouth of Black River and Huron, Ohio, where they continued business for many years. Their vessels, as a general thing, were far in advance of those previously built--both for sailing and carrying heavier burden for their tonnage, and drawing much less water than those previously introduced. They bore a greater proportion of beam to the length of keel, and less depth in the hold, and being very broad on the transom, were enabled to carry sail as long as their canvas held together, which sometimes is very important when jammed upon a lea shore. There was a peculiar grace in the set of those vessels. In that particular these builders excelled. Their vessels had a sort of swan-like appearance upon the water, that attracted attention, while at the same time they were simple in their rig--mostly fore-and-aft schooners, though in after years they built and put afloat quite a large number of brigs and steamboats. Capt. Jones was the most successful so far as sail vessels were concerned. His style of sparring vessels, cut and proportion of sails, etc., was quite different from any other before introduced upon the lakes. The foremast was stepped further forward, the mainmast further aft, giving greater spread to the foresail, which is an important item when hauled upon the wind. Capt. Jones's vessels were always known in the distance by their masts being wider apart, as well as their great length of gaffs, both fore and aft, a distinguishing feature which characterized them from other vessels of that day. | Jones, Augustus (I22489)

About 1891, several deponents state they knew Wooster and were neighbors with him in Chattanooga for six years. It's apparent that he lived in Chattanooga at least part of the time as a traveling agent in the mid to late 1880s. Those he was associated with were Charles W. Norwood, commercial printer; Gustavus A. Wood, lawyer; Halbert B. Case, lawyer; Charles S. Wight, physician. | Bryant, Wooster Carpentier (I1650)

About the year 1857, the Goolthrites came to Michigan, settling at Hubbardston where Oscar engaged in the milling business. His children were probably all born in Hubbardston.
In 1875, he bought property in Bloomer Township and cleared a one-hundred and ninety acre farm. In 1882 he built a residence. This farm occupied the W1/2 of the NE1/4 and the E1/2 of the NW1/4 of Section 25. (1886 Tax Schedule for Montcalm County) | Goolthrite, Oscar (I27843)

Abraham Austin, a Blacksmith was born 1773. Married Mehitible Campbell who was born in 1777. He moved from Connecticut to Dobb's Ferry, NY and then to Finchville, NY after marrying.
Another source: Abraham Austin born around Long Island , NY in the mid 1760's. My great-great uncle Charles J. Austin researched the family back in the 1930's. His paper says that Abram's father was one of seven brothers who came from England. All were blacksmiths by trade. All seven brothers settled in Long Island on farms. Abram ran away at 16 because his father was a Royalist. Abram ran to Dobb's Ferry, NY. He met and married Mehitable Campbell of Scottish descent. They settled in Orange County, NY.

Abraham Smith "of Rye" was among the first settlers of White Plains. He purchased of Samuel Odell, in 1700, a piece of land on the west side of White Plains Street (now Broadway), which Samuel Odell had inherited from his father William Odell; and in 1705, Abraham Smith purchased land next to it from George Kniffen of Rye, "as it was laid out for him, the said Abraham Smith." The latter piece was bounded on the south by Daniel Lane's land, and the deed was witnessed by Humphrey Underhill. (Rye Land Records, Liber B page 122 & 123).

Abraham STAPLES was admitted to the First Church of Dorchester under the Reverend Richard Mather, 20 Mar 1658-59, and was dismissed to "joyn ye church at Waymouth," 13 Jan 1660-61. It is speculated that he was in Dorchester to learn the trade of weaver. He married at Weymouth, Mary RANDALL, daughter of Robert and Mary (FRENCH) RANDALL. They moved to Mendon in 1663. Nine children born at Mendon.

On May 5, 1662, "the committee for Mipmugg" (Mendon) which met at Dorchester and made rules for conducting the settlement, admitted Abraham and others toe allotments of lands there. He was the eighth person accepted from Weymouth. A petition by Abraham and 11 others to the General Court was granted in 1662 to plant the new town of "Mendham," and they purchased a tract of land 8 miles square where the village was to stand, located 33 miles southwest of Boston. The exact date of settlement is not known, but it must have been in the early spring of 1663, for on 14 June of that year, Abraham Jr. was born -- the first English child in that town. The town was incorporated 15 May 1667. Abraham Sr. was on a list of freemen dated 15 Oct 1673, and he held local offices. In 1675 he is listed as one of 38 heads of families. During King Philips War (1675-76) the families of this frontier town were driven off by the Indians and their houses and barns burned, following the massacre of the PUFFER family. He served in the militia under Capt. Jonathan POOLE during the war. He was on a list of soldiers at Hadley dated 20 Nov 1675, when 10 shillings were due him on the payroll. He was first called Sargeant in the records in 1693. He is on a list of 20 families who returned to Mendon after the war. His farm occupied what is now the very center of town, stretching from a little stream below the junction of Hastings and Maple Streets, across Main Street, thence running down the hill to Muddy Brook, containing 52 acres more or less. The original place was owned by the STAPLE family for about 140 years. Abraham was a weaver by trade as is shown by his will.

According to Stiles, "History of Ancient Wethersfield," Henry and William Palmer were settlers of Wethersfield before 1641. They came from Watertown, Massachusetts. They came to Watertown in 1635/1636. Henry Palmer was given land by the town on Oct. 22, 1655. Two parcels, 6 acres and 10 acres. (Vol. 26 Land Deeds). It seems Henry was a slow worker because on p. 223 he is mentioned in reference to the work on the meetinghouse dragging on:
"March 8, 1651/2 the town appointed Samual Smith to see that Hen. Palmer clapboards the meeting house betwixt this and the first of May next; and if he do not, having clapboard layd by him, the said Smith hath power to take a warand, and sew him, that he may force him to do the work."
Henry became freeman 1657. !Savage
John Wintrhop, Jr. records in his medical journal that he treated the family of Henry Palmer of Wethersfield
2 July 1657: "for his wife and for his child of 12 years" (Hannah)

25 May 1658: Deborah Palmer
22 Mar 1658: Palmer, Hanna 13 years daugt. of Henry
24 Nov 1659: Jonathan Palmer, 2-1/2 years son of Henry
"The History and Descendants of John and Sarah Reynolds" gives a birthdate of about 1600 in Somerset.
Also recorded in; "Palmer Families in America, P 12" by Horace Wilbur Palmer. "Now in Mead's 'Ye Histories of Ye Town of Greenwich,' Henry Palmer of Wethersfield has been called the first American ancestor of the Greenwich Palmers. He first appears in Wethersfield as having a homestead on Broad Street by 1640-41 next to William Palmer, at about which time he was married, his wife being named Katherine. Four children are given on the Wethersfield records for Henry, their births being from 1643 to 1650. There is another Henry Palmer of Wethersfield, who is of a different family from Lieut. William (see the family of william Palmer of Westchester, NY). Henry appears on the Wethersfield records up to 1665-6. What became of him is not certain but he evidently did not go to Greenwich as there is no mention of his name on the Greenwich records. We believe he went to Newport, RI, as a Henry Palmer appeared there in 1668. The statement in Mead's history that he died in Greenwich in 1650 is certainly in error, for he was living in Wethersfield at this time with wife Katherine. Mead also says Henry married a second wife, Judith, by whom he had 5 children; John, James, Judith, William, and Joseph. Our Henry never married Judith, for his wife Katherin was living with him in Wethersfield at the very time that Mead gives as the births of these 5 children by Judith. The confusion is due to the fact that Henry of Wethersfield had a son Ephraim and Lieut. William and wife Judith also had a son named Ephraim. The greenwich Palmers were clearly the children of Lieut. William Palmer and Judiith feake... For further account of Henry Palmer of Wethersfield, see the William Palmer Family of Wethersfield or Westchester, NY." | Palmer, Henry (I22557)
