Name: Samuel Comstock (Cumstock)
Given Name: Samuel
Surname: Comstock (Cumstock)
Sex: M
Birth: Abt 1632 in London, Middlesex, England
Christening: England
Death: 9 Mar 1659/60 in Providence, Rhode Island

The court records of Hartford, Conn., show that "Samuel Comstock gave recognizance March 1, 1648, for then days of good behavior and for satisfying what damage Mr. Robins shall sustain for want of his servant." When, in 1653, war with the Dutch seemed imminent, Samuel went on the "figgot Swallow" to Block Island and seized the goods and people there appertaining to a Dutch Captain Kempo Sybando, and took them to New London, apparently to Gov. John Winthrop. In the same year Samuel was in Rhode Island. Samuel Comstock bought of John Smith his house and lot in Providence,
R.I., March 1, 1654. The Town Council o f Providence took action about the estate of Samuel Comstock and John Smith, deceased, on March 9, 1660. On May 4, 1661, Anne Smith of Providence, widow of John Smith, formerly wife of Samuel Comstock, deceased, sold to Roger Mowry the house and home share of her husband, Samuel Comstock. It comprised four acres in a row of houses in the north part of Providence. Mr. W.W. Chapin states that it was near the corner of North Main and
Abbott Streets, and probably bounded west by Sexton Street.

Because there were no railroads in the area at this time, only stage coaches, the stage coaches would stop at the hotel for a change of horses and meals as it ran between Philadelphia and New York.
