Individual Details

I wonder about this place of birth as given in the John A. Comstock book. All indications are that the family was in Great Barrington, MA prior to 1800. His father's home was formerly New London County CT where Stonington is located. Some say Peregrine removed to Great Barrington soon after the Revolution - if so, Alpheus was more likely born in Massachusetts, and indeed the 1850 census gives Massachusetts as his place of birth.

I found a Family Group Sheet of the family online at the website of Jon W. Stewart.

There are obviously daughters that have been unidentified.

1830 Census, Great Barrington, MA
Alpheus Comstock: a single male, age 40-50. 2 girls under age 5 [Mary, age 4 could one of these daughters - the other unknown], 1f 5-10 [Jane, age 6], 1f 10-15 [Mariah - age 12], 1f age 30-40 [probably Polly}

1840 Census, Great Barrington, MA
Alpheus Comstock: 1 male child under 5 [Henry], 1m 50-60. 2f 5-10 [Harriet, 7, and another unknown daughter], 1f 15-20 [Jane 16, or Mary 14 - neither thought to have yet marrried, unless one was counted with Harriet by mistake], 1f 30-40 [Polly seemed not to have aged - it may have been the dates the censuses were taken]

1850 Census. Great Barrington, Berkshire, MA, Hh 1522
Alpheus Comstock, age 51, Laborere, b. Mass.
Ann P., age 49, b. Mass.
Henry, age 13, b. Mass.

Earlier censuses do indicate that Alpheus was more like 61 in 1850. Alpheus lived next door to a Thomas Comstock, age 37, also born in Massachusetts - his wife was Hannah. Thomas was too old to be a son of Ann Pixley and was not a sibling of Alpheus - perhaps he was a nephew.
