I know I'm related to some of you out there, but I was thinking it was 
mostly to Les, very distantly -- maybe now it includes Glen's wife.

Kingsland Comstock is a 7th great grandfather of mine, and Increase and 
Thankful are his niece and nephew -- got my info from Garford Williams 
and Melanie Armstrong. Kingsland's mother was Palthiah (or Palthial, or 
Patteah) Elderkin, b 1635 in Rhode Island. I have bunches of those weird 
Puritanical sounding names in the family history.

There was also and Increase JR, and an Increase III.  Also have an 
Increase Blake and a couple Increase Shaws.  Two are no blood relation 
and one is a very distant cousin.
