Henry Comstock

I have never found Henry in 1860 - he would have been about 17. He wasn't living with his mother or any of his siblings.

In 1870: Sugar Creek Twp, P.O. Montezuma, Poweshiek Co, Iowa, Hh 93.
Henry, age 31, b. MA
Mary E., 25, b. VA
Angeline, 5, b. Iowa. Mary M. age 10 months, born in August of 1869.

M. E., female, 28, b. VA
S. A., age 10, female, b. Iowa

I did not find them in subsequent Kansas Censuses and by 1900 Henry was deceased.
