About John Record
https://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/bostick/1001/
The Comfort Powell that you mention I assume is Comfort (Shaddock)Powell of Chatham County, North Carolina, daughter of Henry Shaddock and wife and later widow of Nathaniel Powell.I believe that she married as her third? husband, James Bostick, Sr., of Richmond County, North Carolina.He died in 1824 leaving a will leaving the bulk of his estate to his widow, Comfort, for life.It is uncertain when she died but it must have been before 1829 as in that year James' son, William, died and his inventory includes property left to Comfort by his father.Records show that Comfort deeded property in Chatham County, North Carolina as Comfort Powell in November 1791 and around February 1793 (there is no date on the document but the other documents before and after this one are dated in this period)made a claim as Comfort Bostick, widow of Nathaniel Powell, on the property of Benjamin Powell.Therefore it would appear that James Bostick and Comfort married between November 1791 and February 1793.
Many credit Comfort as the mother of James Bostick, Sr.'s children, the oldest known child of whom was born in 1768.She is also sometime referred to as Comfort Love.The surname of Love is pure speculation and examination of property transactions for James Bostick show he was married to a woman named Elizabeth as late as 1771.It is more probable that this Elizabeth was the mother of his children and died sometime before February 1793.
There is some circumstantial evidence to suggest thatComfort may have married prior to Nathaniel Powell to a John Record.John Record left a will in Orange County, North Carolina, dated December 26, 1768 and probated in April 1769.He names a wife, Comfort, and children, John, David, Sion, and Mary.One of the witnesses to the will was James Brantley, who married Easter/Hester/Ester Shaddock, Comfort's sister.I believe that the first document naming Comfort as the wife of Nathaniel Powell is dated November 1769.Mary Record, daughter of John and Comfort Record, married a Michael Hill and settled in Darlington County, South Carolina.She married as her second husband, Tristram Bostick, son of James Bostick, Sr. of Richmond County, North Carlina.Her daughter Martha Hill married Levi Bostick, brother of Tristram Bostick.Also, John Record, son of John and Comfort Record, served as surety on the guardian bond for Benjamin Powell, son of Nathaniel Powell, and witnessed deeds involving Comfort Powell in 1786, 1787, and two in 1791.When Comfort Powell sold Nathaniel Powell's 640 acre platation in 1791 she sold 320 acres to Nathaniel Powell, son of Nathaniel Powell, and 320 acres to David Record, son of John Record.
John Record,Jr, Comforts possible son, was a Baptist minister and is shown as the second minister to preside at Bear Creek Baptist Church in Chatham County, North Carloina, which was founded in 1787, and is said to have met at "Powell's Meeting House."Nathaniel Powell, Comfort's husband, was probably the same Nathaniel Powell who was a Baptitst minister at Deep River Baptist Church in Chatham County, North Carolina in 1764.
