However, their marriage date is shown to be 10 Feb 1814, long after these children were born. Deborah being born 1767 would be marrying later in life. Could each of them have had previous marriage and these children been born by a 1st wife?
or is the marriage date an error?

He was a prominent member of the Union Baptist Church and his name (as Eneas Harned) occurs third in the roll of its male members, and his wife Deborah Harned's name is second among the females, in the earliest records (1818) of the original church book.

Hi Sherry,
I am not good at all on the internet, so you can be assured that the reason you couldn't find the JOHNLYONS-L group was because I did something wrong in sending you the address. Sorry! Try USGenWeb.com then go to their archives, select Louina, and type in "Merriman" or
"Lyons." They'll have things about the Lyons group in there.
I found a "Grandinego" (I think is how it's spelled), which is the name of a witness on one of your group's documents, who was given an English land grant in a DeVille book about English land grants in Louisiana. I also found an "Aldridge Plation" mentioned in an
abstract of newspaper articles from Assumption Parish. That may be why the Comstocks came to Louisiana, through Rachel and whoever this Aldridge Plantation belonged to. I'm going to have to do some searching to find out who owned it.
I also found a William Comstock who served in the Confederate Navy and who was buried in Donaldsonville. He listed his next of kin as a daughter named "Gussie." Have you ever run across a "Gussie" or anyone whose name would transpose itself o the nickname "Gussie"?
By the way, the wife of one of the guys in our local genealogy group in Terrebonne Parish is a descendant of Hester (Ester) Comstock in your group. He says he has a folder on the Comstocks and we are trying to get copies of everything he . I'll let you know if anything pops up.
Sorry about the wrong address! I'll get the hang of this one day.
Patty.

Amy Comstock White of Austin's Old 300 by Barbara Vernon, a 4th greatgranddaughter.
Information gathered from several sources ""Amy White of the Old 300:,
"Texas Handbook"

Amy was born 10 March 1775 in Rhode Island, where the Comstock family had lived since about 1640. Her father was William Comstock, born about 1730\1740 in Rhode Island. Her mother was Rachel Aldrich born 1742 in Massachusetts. They migrated to St.Martinville, Spanish Louisiana.

Amy married William White about a month before her 16th birthday, 31 Jan.1791, in St. Martin's Church in St. Martinsville, LA. William was 25, having been born 17 December 1766 in North Carolina to John White and Sarah Gambil.

John and Sarah had moved to North Carolina from Culpepper Co.,VA. William died on 8 October 1821 on the Vermillion River but his estate was not placed in probate until 1824. The names of their nine children are listed: Mary, Reuben, Jesse, George, Rachel (Barbara Vernon's ancestor), Henry, Rebecca, William and Julie, the last four being minors. The widow, Amy, was authorized to sell the land, as she was planning to move to Texas to enter Austin's colony.

Stephen F. Austin had taken over the negotiations of his deceased father Moses Austin in order to bring to Texas 300 families to settle between the San Jacinto and Brazos Rivers. On the advice of her brother-in-law, Humphrey Jackson, Amy and all of her children, except Rachel (who had married Mark Lee in Louisiana), and Jesse, left with others (Reuben White and his wife and 3 children, son George and also daughter and son-in-law Mary and Wm. Whitlock and their 4 children) from Louisiana. They probably departed from Berwick Bay (now Morgan City), where they had family connections.(Amy's sister, Rachel, had married Thomas Berwick in 1795, whose family Berwick Bay was named.)

By sailboat they could be taken as far as Lynchburg on the San Jacinto River. Before settling on their land (4428 acres to a family), conditions had to be met. The Roman Catholic Church was the established church of the land and each new applicant for the land had to agree to support it, prove good moral character, and an oath had to be taken to become a citizen of Mexico and to respect their laws. Marriages had to be performed by priests, but since no priest was a resident in the Colony, a few marriages were recognized by civil bonds in which the parties agreed to be married when a priest became available.

After the organization of the Republic in 1837, this was no longer required. Slavery was not legal in Mexico but this law was gotten around by changing the slaves to indentured servants. The black population was at least 30% of the whites. It does not appear that Amy brought any slaves with her to Texas.

(from Lori London) There is a paragraph in her book taken from her title to the land that goes like this: "Amy White went to the aforesaid league which by the preceding decree we have granted to this last party, etc........ We put the saidow Amy White in possession of said land, taking her by the hand and leading her over it, telling her in a loud voice and understanding voice that by virtue of the Commissioner and the authority vested in us, etc...... Amy White, as a token of finding herself in real and personal possession of said land without any opposition, shouted, pulled grass, threw stones, set stakes and performed the other necessary ceremonies, being notified of her obligation to cultivate it within the two-year term prescribed by law."

Amy Comstock White, early settler, was born on March 10, 1775, in Rhode Island to William and Rachel (Aldrich) Comstock, who migrated to St. Martinville in Spanish Louisiana. She was baptized a Catholic in the church at Opelousas on July 25, 1789, and married William White, older brother of James Taylor Whiteqv in St. Martin's Church on January 31, 1791. She and her husband settled near his brothers on the lower Vermillion River below Abbeville, where she bore eleven children between 1792 and 1819 and became a widow on October 8, 1821. On the advice of Humphrey Jackson,qv her widowed brother-in-law, Amy White decided to move in 1824 to Galveston Bay, where she and her married sons could each receive a league of land. She claimed her 4,428 acres on the west side of the San Jacinto River on August 16, 1824, while her eldest son, Reuben White,qv located his on August 19 on the east bank, opposite his mother and below Jackson's plot. White then returned to Louisiana where she and the other heirs of her husband settled his estate on September 14, 1824. Soon thereafter the widow and her four minor children left for the San Jacinto River in company with Reuben and his wife and three children; son George; and her daughter and son-in-law, Mary and William Whitlockqv and their four children. Another son, Jesse, arrived in 1830. Amy White did not depend on her male relatives to take care of her business, and in June 1825 she wrote to Stephen F. Austinqv that surveyor Isaac Hughesqv had included another person's home in her league without her knowledge, and the man was not willing to sell the improvement. By May 28, 1828, Amy White had married William Swail and deeded her league to him. The couple moved to his league on the west side of the Trinity River, just above Liberty, where Swail probably died some time before 1838. At age sixty-two Amy White Swail petitioned the Liberty board of land commissioners (as Amy White) for her allotted labor of land, which was granted on January 19, 1838. The biographer of the White clan says that she died in 1853 in either Harris County or Liberty County.

Notes:

The William Clark Family:
William Clark came to Texas in 1835 with his wife, Caroline Bland Clark, from Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. They came along with all of her family; her brothers, John and Peyton Bland (sometimes spelled Payton), her mother, Elizabeth Johnson, and her stepfather, Dick Johnson.
In Orange County, Clark received a section of land from the Lorenzo de Zavala grant. This parcel extended towards present day Mauriceville. He later purchased part of the adjacent Theron Strong Survey and put it in his wife's nam. It was said to be a very unusual thing in those days for a woman to have property in her own name. This property extended from near Adams Bayou on the west to Jack's Island on the east, then southward nearly to the present I-10 freeway.
William and Caroline Clark built a log cabin on what is now Clark Lane (naed later for another family of Clarks). At that time, however, it was situated near the trail that led to Newton County. They had three children, Oliver, Robert (obrn in Orange County on October 3, 1840) and Rachel. The elder Clarks lived in the log house for the rest of their lives. They were buried nearby in the Block Cemetery.
At their deaths, the William Clark Survey was left to their oldest son Oliver Clark, whose descendants still live in the Mauriceville area.
Caroline Bland Clark's property was left to the younger son, Robert F. Clark. Caroline died without leaving a will, and since her estate had $600 indebtedness against it, Clark had to sell the land to pay it off.
Both Oliver and Robert Clark were conscripted for servcie in the Confederate army, but Oliver refused to to and eventually was used as a scout to lead Confederate troops through the swamps of the Sabine River. Robert agreed to go, and served in the Southern army until he co tracted pneumonia and was treated in Atlanta. During his absence, his wife and baby died; they are buried in the Wilkinson Cemetery near Mauriceville.
After the war, Robert married Ozea Gilbeau of Breaux Bridge Louisiana. Their first child, Cloey Belle, was born in Orange County on September 27, 1869. Three years later, in 1872, Robert built a home of finished lumber on the Newton County road. This house was sold about 1904, to the Heard family and is still lived in by the Heard family members. Old oaks att he front of the house were planted by Cloey Clark when she was a small girl.
Other children born to Robert and Ozea Clark included four sons: Will Oliver, H.D. (Dick), Campbell, and Burnett; and a second daughter, Alice. The three younger sons were shot to death as young men during Orange County's lawless era, and Alice died of a stroke at age twenty-six. Will did not marry, but stayed at home to look after his parents and the farm, a common custom in the Victorian age. Robert Clark died on December 16, 1922 and Oea Clark on June 19, 1927. Their landholdings were left to Will and when he died on October 30, 1941, he left the property to his surviving sister, Cloey.
Cloey Clark and Alvah Payne of Bryan were married in the first Clark home on the old Newton trail on January 4, 1892. They raised four children, Clara Payne (Heard), Carrie Payne (Heard), Robert M. and Harrison.
Allie Payne died on April 28, 1934, and Cloey Payne in 1953. Their property was divided among their children and most of it was sold. However, 12 acres of the original Caroline Bland Clark land is still in family hands, specifically those of Jeanette Heard Robinson.

WHITE, REUBEN (1795-ca. 1848). Reuben White, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, was the son of William and Amy White and was born in 1795 in what is now Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. In the War of 1812 he served in Capt. Shadrack Porter's Company, Baker's Regiment, Louisiana Militia. He married Christina Faulk on June 15, 1818. They had at least eight children. The family was Catholic. He moved to Texas in 1824 with his widowed mother and received his grant of one league on the east bank of the San Jacinto River. He was listed with his family in the Atascosito Census in 1826 as a farmer and stock raiser. Reuben and his brother Henry White were on the grand jury of Harris County in 1837. In 1838 he appeared before the Board of Land Commissioners of Harris County to petition for one labor of land due him as a colonist. He appeared on the Ad Valorem Tax Rolls of the Republic of Texas in 1837 and in subsequent years. His taxable property (after considerable exemptions) was 2,214 acres of land, two pleasure horses, 150 cattle, and one clock. He was a successful farmer-rancher of the period. Reuben White died before October 1848, as proven by a probate court record of his estate in Harris County in 1848. After White died, his widow married Hervey Whiting. In 1854 she married Isaac Curtis, and in the 1860 census she and her two youngest sons were living with a son-in-law, Thomas W. McComb, at Lynchburg.
