Samuel Coomer

Notes:

The Coomer road, on the west side of the town [Newfane], running from the Lake road, on a line parallel with the west line of the town and three-quarters of a mile east of it, to the south line, was established in the early history of Newfane by Benjamin Coomer [Sr], who lived upon its line and was quite an influential man in the town. He died October 26th, 1817 and was buried in the village cemetery at Olcott. A common field stone marks his resting place, and only his name and the above date can be traced, the rest having scaled off by the action of the atmosphere.

Benjamin married Ruth Goff on 17 Dec 1771 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co, Massachusetts. Ruth was born on 14 Aug 1748 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co, Massachusetts; died about 1828. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
