Andrew and Lucinda Hutcheson ten children, of which, one was my grandmother, Bettie Virginia Pippin. Bettie married Ephraim Lee Jackson and together they had eight children including my Father, Barnes Jackson. My Dad, Barnes, and my Mom, Arda Holdridge had my two older brothers and I, Phillip Lee Jackson. In the mid 1920's, Ephraim and Bettie migrated from Tennessee to Phoenix, Arizona. As a note, the families Pippin and Jackson were well acquainted and regularly inter-married.

In the papers of John Adams Comstock that wrote "The Comstock Family in America" there is one letter among many with various tall tales, that brings up the Ireland connections. There is absolutely no documentation or basis for such a connection - Comstock is not a surname ever found in Ireland. Comstock IS found very early in England as there was a village Culmstocke and many English surnames were taken from locations. William Comstock likely had NO coat of arms as above. Almost all Comstocks in America do descend from one of the sons of the immigrant William, or his close kin, as more recent Y-DNA tests has proved. I believe your grandfather was yet another victim of the stories that are not quite correct.<br />Kay Hadenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775054088464354234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036137513106816899.post-25854958965462407172019-01-17T06:17:43.303-05:002019-01-17T06:17:43.303-05:00My grandfather was a comstock and I grew up hearin...My grandfather was a comstock and I grew up hearing our family was from Ireland and have the sAme" coat of arms" with the bears... curious...

I believe my Allens might be part of the same family. My 4gr-grandfather is Jesse Allen b. 1754 in Morristown, NJ, fought in the Revolutionary War, and was an earlier settler in Bradford County, PA. Sources state that he is a nephew of Ethan Allen, but dates/places don't support that data, and I believe it to be incorrect. I've searched for years trying to find additional information on his family, and can find nothing concrete. I'd be very interested in corresponding with you, if you think our Allen families might be related.

I don't know if the Hughes marriage is proven but David's first marriage was before 1749 and he almost certainly had more children than those named in his will or living near him in KY.

At least one descendant of Jacob has also claimed an Edward Smith, his father-in-law but the service as given is that of a very different Edward who lived a number of years longer, in a very different place and had a very different set of children.

Harmon - as a boy, was shipwrecked off the coast of Virginia during the Revolutionary War. This "fact" came from a series of newspaper articles on the Harmon family. The article is based on reminisces many years after the fact and contains much about the family that is simply wrong. Like so many family traditions, there may be a grain of truth, but the story is highly improbable for so many reasons. The series of articles does reveal the origin of some of the other stories about that family that have been considerably twisted with time and can easily be proved to be incorrect. If "Anonymous" will contact me directly, I'd be happy to discuss this further - I will perhaps do an entire Blog - this is not the first family I research whose lineage has been badly corrupted by a newspaper story. Maybe you just can't believe everything you read in the newspaper! If you click on my name opposite or "View my complete profile" you will find a link to my email address.<br />Just for information. If you send a comment, it comes to me for review. I ususally choose not to post comments that refer to information that cannot be confirmed or that are inflammatory. I never mind an opposing view with sound documentation.Kay Hadenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775054088464354234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036137513106816899.post-76066445281718576862015-04-17T10:45:19.625-04:002015-04-17T10:45:19.625-04:00I wish to point out that I manage the Comstock Y-D...I wish to point out that I manage the Comstock Y-DNA Project. One of my first cousins has had his Y-DNA run out to 67 markers as has one of the Kessenger descendant. The match shows two differences in 25 markers - but extended to 37 markers the difference is greater than 4 and when extended to 67 markers the difference is greater than 7. This means that there is actually NO match within recorded history. Comstocks and Kessingers do not have proven ancestry in any meaningful time frame. The Comstock Y-DNA is very common in the British Isles and no conclusions should be reached with LESS than 37 markers - 67 being even better. That is exactly why FamilyTree DNA always recommends at least 37 markers be used for Y-DNA. Christopher Comstock and Samuel Comstock Y-DNA is certainly close enough for kinship as there are only 2 differences out of 37 markers for some of their descendants. Others have been tested since my post of July 2011 - several claiming descent from Daniel Comstock. Unfortunately they all have had problems with lineage and theur descent is not certain on paper - they do match the descendants of Christopher and Daniel. I have been in touch with a descendant of John who not longer carries the Comstock name, but is attempting to contact second cousins who are still Comstocks. We still need men consenting to be tested with good paper trails back to either Danial or John. Funds can be provided for testing.Kay Hadenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775054088464354234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036137513106816899.post-64899748406895729222015-04-17T10:43:19.710-04:002015-04-17T10:43:19.710-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kay Hadenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775054088464354234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036137513106816899.post-7376911491171244782015-04-17T10:06:03.772-04:002015-04-17T10:06:03.772-04:00DNA has proven ancestry to Kessinger family with a...DNA has proven ancestry to Kessinger family with a common ancestor of 300-500 years, the Kessinger family originates but 30 miles from frankfort on the main.<br /><br />The Greek Exhile by Christophoros P.
