Re: Comfort family in Michigan
Hello again, I talked to my mother and realized I missed a generation in my previous post. Aaron Comfort was my 3x great grandfather. Woolston and Elwood were his sons, Elwood was my 2x great grandfather. Albert,my great grandfather, was one of Elwood's sons. We have a Comfort Families of America family tree, but we're not sure how much there is of Woolston's family. Apparently, Woolston ran a mill on the River Raison, which goes thru Tecumseh, and the mill was on Comfort Road (the road is still there, the mill long gone). The mill was built by Aaron Comfort (Woolston's father) and Samuel Satterthwaite, who were both friends and brothers-in-law! Anyway, the mill fell on hard times, and after that operation tanked Woolston and Martha moved to Jackson. So, I guess you and I are cousins! If you want to keep digging into this, please call me at 517.282.2306. Thanks!
