This appears to have come from a county history & bio book:
GEORGE COMSTOCK, farmer, Secs. 18 and 19; P. O., Oconomowoc; was born in the town of Woodstock, Windom Co., Conn., in 1812 [more likely 1802 - based on his grave marker]; his father, John Comstock, was a native of Rhode Island, and came to Connecticut, where he died, when his son George was about six years old; his mother, Ruth Sayles, was also a native of Rhode Island, and came, after her marriage, to Connecticut; when George reached his ninth year, he was bound out to a farmer, and made his home with him till he was 15 years old; then was bound out to another, with whom he remained till 22; the following year he spent in Massachusetts, after which he returned to Connecticut, whence, in October, 1825, he went to Buffalo, N. Y., but soon returned again to Connecticut, where, in the spring of 1826, he was married to Eliza, daughter of Daniel Paine, a native of Windham Co; they removed, immediately after marriage, to Oneida Co., N. Y., where he followed farming till 1846, and June 10, of that year, settled in the town of Summit, Waukesha Co., Wis., among its early settlers, locating at that time on his present farm, on Secs. 18 and 19, where he now owns 160 acres. Mr. Comstock has been a member of the Town Board for a number of years. His wife died July 26, 1860, leaving eight children – Mary, now the wife of W. D. Bradford, lives in Minnesota; Emily, now Mrs. L. M. B. Smith, lives in Algona, Iowa; Margaret, now the wife of Samuel Smith, lives in Minnesota; John D., deceased; James, now in Algona, Iowa; Nancy, in Milwaukee; Elizabeth, now Mrs. Don C. Westover, lives in Kansas, and George K., in Milwaukee; his second marriage was May 27, 1869. to Esther A., daughter of Reuben Smith.
