Notes
The surname of Elizabeth, wife of William Comstock, is not proved by any document. She may well have been his only wife. The fact she was called his "now wife" made some believe there was more than one, but that was the legal term for a present wife in New England whether she was a first & only wife or a fourth wife. There is NO proof of two wives at all and some of the baptisms state the mother was Elizabeth and she was certainly Elizabeth in New England. In "History of the National Society of Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America" for the fifteenth year, ending May 13, 1913, Mary Ella Comstock (Mrs. Carl J. Vietz) gives the wife of William Comstock as "Elizabeth Daniel". However, she may not have been a Daniel or Daniels at all. A marriage record exists for a William Comstock in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire - just outside London and very near the Parish where there are baptisms for all four of the proposed sons and the daughter found later in America. The wife was Elizabeth Cock, not Daniels. The mother of the baptized children was recorded as Elizabeth. Additional data about Elizabeth Cock or her husband William Comstock was not discovered by research onsite in England.
