Comfort G. York
F, b. say 1813
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | Comfort G. York was born say 1813. |
| FamilySearch Family Tree page: https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/K815-QB9. |
| The parentage of Comfort G. York is uncertain. Her Family Search Family Tree places her as a child of Enoch York and Sarah Hayes of Middleton, NH, and gives her the middle initial of B. instead of the G. that is found in the Nottingham Vital record of her marriage. This seems unlikely as Nottingham and Middleton aren't that close together and there are other Yorks in the Nottingham area to whom she could belong. It seems likely that she is the daughter of Solomon York, who was primarily of Deerfield but in 1830 when the census was taken the family was living in Nottingham. The 1820 census has room for another girl in the family about her age, but the 1830 doesn't seem to have a teenager that would be about her age, understanding that we really aren't sure exactly how old she would have been in 1830. And as discussed in another paragraph there was the possibility that she was already somehow a mother by 1830 so might have been living elsewhere. For now she will be left as a child of Solomon and Patience until or unless other evidence comes to light. |
| They were both living in Nottingham when they first filed a marriage intention on 6 May 1827. Then three years later on 29 Jan 1831 they filed another marriage intention, and were married two days later. The first intention might have been invalidated due to her being too young, so as a guess we'll say she was 14 years old at that time, for lack of any other evidence of when she was born.
On the 1909 death record of their daughter Mary Jane Thompson she was said to have been born in Saco, Maine in Dec 1829, and it also says both of her parents were born in Saco. This is more than a year before her parents were actually married, although it was more than two years after their first marriage intention was filed, so perhaps they were married against their parents' wishes and ran off to Saco to have a child before eventually returning to Nottingham. All of this is pure speculation. It seems unlikely that Charles and Comfort would have been born in Saco as they were living in Nottingham when they were married. No records can be found for Charles French on ancestry in Saco.
The only cihld listed for them in their Family Search Family Tree is Mary Jane. |

Lavina York
F, b. circa 1810, d. after 14 November 1873
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | Lavina York was born circa 1810 in New HampshireG.1 |
| Marriage* | She married John Page on 28 February 1830 in Nottingham, New HampshireG.2 |
| Death* | Lavina York died after 14 November 1873. She wrote her will from Deerfield, NH on that date. |
| They were both living in Nottingham when they were married. They are probably the John and Lavina Page found in the 1850 census of Deerfield, NH, aged 46 and 40 respectively. No children were living with them and John was a farmer.
Lavina Page made her will on 14 Nov 1873 while still married to John and living in Deerfield. In it she first gave to her husband John "all the use and income of the York Place that I bought of Eben Marston land and buildings where John Sullivan now lives during his natural life without the interference of any." She then went on to give the same lane to Francis W. Eaton after her husband dies. Finally she gives the remainder of her estate to her husband and names his as her executor. Witnesses were Josiah B. Tilton, Benjamin F. Brown, and Susan G. Eaton. 3 Ancestry does not have a record of when the will was probated.
Susan Eaton was her probable sister, and the Francis Eaton named in the will likely the son she had by that name, who also went by Frank.
The 1860 census found them in Deerfield where John was a labourer living on land valued at $500 and a person estate worth $350. Living with them was a 23-year-old cordwainer named Eugene Menard, relationship, if any, unknown. When the 1870 census was taken they were still living in Deerfield, and living with them were 23 year old Mary P. York and 57 year old Jonathan York. Jonathan is likely Lavina's brother, and Mary was probably originally Mary Giles. See Jonathan's record for more information on her. John Page was a cooper living in land worth $1000 with personal estate worth $350.
This Eaton connection, as well as Jonathan York living with them in 1870, is the evidence making it probable that she was a daughter of Solomon York and Patience Giles. |
