Note

BIRTH "Comfort Woodcock was born 26 September 1766 at Swansea, Chester, New Hampshire." (John Leighton Woodcock, <i>John Woodcock of Rehoboth, Mass</i>. (1913: Conkey Press, Chicago, Ill) 53. Genealogical Society of Vermont, Branches & Twigs, (Putney, Vermont: Genealogical Society of Vermont, 1994), 23 (Autum, 1994):148.) It was noted in <i>John Woodcock of Rehoboth, Mass</i>. that Comfort’s brother, Samuel was in Litchfield by 1777, citing Litchfield land records, 11:214. Both her father Jonathan and brother Samuel were living in Litchfield by 1790, see 1790 U.S. Census. Jonathan Woodcock leased his Litchfield land in 1793 and may have died shortly thereafter, (Litchfield land records, 13:466-467.)

BETHLEHEM Comfort was not named, but was listed after the death of his first wife as the wife of Jonathan Churchill being received into the church. (Bethlehem Congregational membership records July 2, 1796, Bethlehem Ct. Congregational Church Records, 1738-1850, Family History library film 3803, item 1, pp. 1-7.)

GOSHEN Comfort lived with the Cook Family in Goshen with her husband as early as the 1810 Census. We know she was still there in 1829 because she is mentioned in land records. Goshen Land Records, 15:497. “…Phineas Cook’s family “consisting of Phineas Cook and his wife, Widow Comfort Churchill, Eliza Cook, Darius B. Cook, Mary Ann Cook, Phineas W. Cook and Harriet Cook…”

DEATH Hale Inscriptions, quoted the "Litchfield County Post and Enquirer:" Jan 26, 1832, p. 69. Age 66 when she died. Death Jan. 26, 1832 is the date given by Phineas Wolcott Cook in temple records: "Comfort Woodcock, (no birth,) born in Connecticut. Died 18 Jan. 1832." Submitted by Harriet Betsey Cook Teeples, Step Great granddaughter, from records of Ann Eliza Howland Cook, Logan Temple Endowments for the Dead, Vol. C, p. 49, #1740, Family History library film 17797) Her death date listed in her temple record, Recorder Logan Temple, Endowments for the dead, 1884-1970; heir indexes, 1884-1961; baptisms for the dead, 1943-1970 (Salt Lake City, Utah: Filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, 1958-1971), Family History library Film [177957].

MARRIAGE Married before July 1796, Jonathan Churchill at Litchfield, Litchfield, Connecticut. DOCUMENTATION Family History Library book 974.6 V2wL v. 23 Notes The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records, citing Litchfield vital records, 1:132. "Jonathan, m. Comfort "Woodstock," [ ]." (Family History Library book 974.6 V2wL v. 23) Family History Library film 1,516,502 Notes The Marriage of Jonathan Churchill and Comfort Woodcock is recorded in Litchfield Vital Records 1:132, but no date listed: "Jonathan Churchel and Comfort Woodcock were married (no date)."

(Bethlehem Congregational membership records July 2, 1796, Bethlehem Ct. Congregational Church Records, 1738-1850, Family History library film 3803, item 1, pp. 1-7.)

Note

Marriage is recorded in Litchfield Vital Records 1:132, but no date listed. "Jonathan Churchel and Comfort Woodcock were married (no date)." (Town Records of Litchfield, Litchfield, CT, 1701-1881 FHL film 1,516,502.) The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records, citing Litchfield vital records, 1:132. "Jonathan, m. Comfort Woodstock, [ ]." Since "the wife of Jonathan Churchill" was admitted to the Bethlehem Congregational Church July 2, 1796, it is obvious the marriage took place before then. (Bethlehem Ct. Congregational Church Records, 1738-1850, FHL film 3803, item 1, pp. 1-7.)
