George Wells Comstock

(29 Aug 1820 - 7 Oct 1889)



Married Lydia Jones Sayre, 17 Oct 1853.
During the Civil War, George was a member of the Sanitary Commission of New York State. His children were all born in New York City.

FindAGrave Memorial #30400940. George is shown with a slightly different death date of 6 Nov 1889. He is said buried in Montrose Cemetery, Susquehanna Co, PA - which makes no sense given his years-long residence in NYC. I do see that his wife was born in Pennsylvania.

Certainly, George was in NYC in 1880. Here's the census. from ED 589. Hh 3.
