Still confusing. My friend found a Myra Comstock in Buffalo in 1880
at the same time George Glenny was in Buffalo, but not married to
each other and wonder if she went back to her maiden name before she married
Myers. However, Myra shows in no census from 1900-1930 which
is odd. But, Myra in Buffalo lists her mother's maiden name as Biggs.
Did you give me the name of Briggs as the maiden name for Phebe Bigelow?
This is a real mess to unravel and now I am wondering
if she is the one afterall. I am pursuing the Lone Mountain Cemetery which
could shed some light on the family.
