Eighth Generation


490. Alonzo Lloyd COMSTOCK was born on 12 December 1873 in Texas.235 He died on 9 March 1906 at the age of 32.

I don't know if this is Alonzo, but the age is right.
Living in Chickasaw Nation [Oklahoma] in 1900:
A. L. Comstock, b. Dec 1874 in TX, age 26, married 6 years, father b. ?GA, mother b. unk
Lillie, wife, b. Mar 1878 in TX, age 22, she has had 3 children; father b. unk, mother B. AR
Panzey A., dau, b. Aug 1894, Indian Territory; Fannie A., dau, b. Feb 1896, IT; Unnamed dau, b. Sep 1899, IT

I have an autosomal match to a person on Ancestry who shows in her lineage Lillie (Scrimshrie) Comstock as a mother but has no identified Comstock as a father - the child is Gladys Comstock. I believe this is her family:

Pansy, dau, 16, b. TX

25 Apr 1906 Newspaper article [probably from The Evening News, Ada, Indian Territory)
Lee Comstock went to Randolph today to close out the mercantile business of his brother who there a month ago.

Alonzo Lloyd COMSTOCK and Lillie SCRIMSHIRE were married in 1894. Lillie SCRIMSHIRE was born in March 1878 in Texas.

Said to be daughter of William B. Scrimshire, b. 23 Oct 1850, Jackson, MS, died 18 Aug 1915, Azle, TX and his second wife Virginia Burnham (dates in Ancestry tree don't agree with when children were born). In 1900, he may have been living with a third wife, Frances, in Ft. Worth. However, there are a lot of things in this database that don't seem quite right.

However, FamilySearch tree has Lillie as the daughter of Harris & Virginia Scrimshire and this seems much more reasonable:
1880 Census. Prec 3, Red River Co, TX, Hh 48
Harris Scrimshire, 30, farmer, b. AL
Virginia, 26, wife, b. AR
John, 10, son, b. AR
Willie, 8, son, b. AR
Lilly, 6, dau, b. TX
Alice, 1, dau, b. TX
