Comfort Peirce

Notes:

I am making an assumption that this Comfort is the one mentioned as a daughter in the will of William Peirce of East Greenwich. This will was written and dated 15 July 1791, proved 27 August 1791. I have used this information in estimating her birth date.

If the above assumption is correct, she was a daughter, probably the youngest, of William & Catherine. Her siblings, as mentioned in the will, were Phebe (w/o Caleb Andrews), Sarah (w/o John Place), Deborah, & Mary.

Comfort — Benjamin Cornell. Benjamin (son of Joseph Cornell and Ruth Baker) was born 21 Aug 1778, East Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died 1829; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd., East Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]

1. Joseph M. Cornell was born 1800; died 1 May 1879; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Knotty Oak Rd., Coventry, RI.
