Baptisms at Hillingdon, Uxbridge St Margaret
There is an entry for a son Christor, 17 May 1636. Perhaps an abbreviation for Christopher as it's written that way in other instances. The father was William Coomestock, although this time indexed as "Cumscock". There is a word following the father's name - almost looks like "and" and doesn't seem to be "wife" or "uxor", the Latin word used often for the wife. Would seem the entry was not quite finished.

Christopher married Hannah Platt, daughter of Richard Platt of Milford, 6 Oct 1663, Norwalk.

Settled in Fairfield, CT in 1654.
29 May 1654, at New Haven. Christopher made affidavit about a visit to goodwife Knapp accused of witchcraft. She was executed. The testimomy actually seems to have taken place on 13 May 1654. Knapp was apparently not of the Knapp family that married into my Allen family. Hester, wife of Andrew Ward [the Wards being my direct ancestors] also testified that Goodwife Knapp had told her the wife of Thomas Staples was also a witch.]
He also served on a grand jury, 19 Sep 1692, to examine witches.
