Do you know of Comstock's Bridge ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Comstock's Bridge. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Comstock's Bridge.<1>

Our sources for Comstock's Bridge (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Comstock's Bridge other than they indicate that Comstock's Bridge would be found somewhere in New London County, Connecticut.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1879 and closed  in 1909.
