Comfort Coy and Chester Preston share the same gravemarker.

New biographical information provided by C. Coy, Contributor #48695075 July 2015 regarding the marker inscription about Comfort's age: "It goes back to a family member misreading the Preston Family Bible and mistaking the handwriting - an 8 for a 4, thinking that the Bible said he was age 74 rather than age 78 when he died in 1852." The memorial owner has seen the Preston family Bible record provided by the contributor.
