section on the history of Shelburne, Chittenden County)

Daniel COMSTOCK, one of the early settlers [of Shelburne, Chittenden County, 
Vermont], located a short distance north of William SMITH, on a point which 
has ever bore his name. He was a man of unblemished character; held many 
offices in the gift of the people, being treasurer of the town for many 
years. He was a Universalist in religious sentiment, a strict moralist, an 
honest man; died 11 January 1816, aged seventy-four years. Levi COMSTOCK, 
son of Daniel, was town clerk for many years, justice of the peace, and held 
various town offices; was a prominent man in the community; died 10 May 1847, 
aged eighty-one, universally respected. Elisha COMSTOCK, son of Daniel, 
owned and occupied this farm, the old homestead, after his father's death, 
which is now owned by Hezekiah [COMSTOCK], son of Elisha.
