Little is known of the nine years of Comfort’s life after he graduated from Harvard. Descendants have claimed he was a militia captain, a lawyer and a merchant. One tradition states he was killed by Indians at Charlestown, NH, but his gravestone is in Rehoboth,
The same year he graduated, Comfort Carpenter married Huldah Bowen. He died at a very young age in 1739, leaving her with five small children, Chloe, Cynthia,Jordan Retro 5, Cyril,Jordan Blase Shoes, Orinda and Comfort, who moved to what is now Maine.
