Individual Details

Warren Harris Comstock

(1834 - Feb 1864)



This is the only child of Ephraim & Nancy I could not account for in McDonald Co MO in 1860. He married Minerva Shell. I did possibly find her living under her maiden name in a household with who appears to be a brother and sister.

In Hewett's ROSTER OF CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS, vol. IV, is Warren "A." Comstock, enlisted in MO 3rd Cavalry, Co I, along with James & William D.
National Archives records reveal that Warren H. Comstock enlisted as a Pvt in Capt W. C. Clanton's Co, Greene's Regt, Missouri Volunteers - a company which became Co I, 3rd Regt MO Cavalry. Warren was age 28. He enlisted 27 Aug 1862 in McDonald Co MO with Capt Clanton for 3 years or the war. He received a horse valued at $80 and horse equipment of $12. The Muster Roll was dated 30 Oct 1862 in Fulton Co AR. The Muster Roll for Oct 30 -Dec 31, 1862 stated that Warren "A." Comstock deserted Nov 15, 1862. This was the same unit in which his brothers William and James enlisted, all on the same day.

A very long article about his father-in-law, Henry Schell, posted on FindAGrave Memorial# 33163060, describes Henry's murder by bushwhackers on 11 July 1863, and goes on to say: A few months later in 1864, Henry's son-in-law, Warren Comstock, husband of Manervia Schell Comstock, was also killed by bushwhackers.
