John Smith, son of John and Anne Comstock, is here presented as the son of John Smith, known by the name of Jameco [as I had supposed from the tax records]. He has returned as an adult, from his home in Massachusetts, to claim his rights in the town of Providence which had been secured by his mother soon after his birth. In turn he sells the inherited land back to Samuel Comstock, son of his mother Anne and her first husband Samuel Comstock - in other words, to his half-brother
