Benjamin was the son of William McComsey, who was City Treasurer of Lanc. in the late 1800s. A descendant of Mathias McComsey, who was born in Manor Township in 1787. Benjamin's mother was Mary Dorwart, daughter of Henry, a tailor in Lancaster.

Admin/Biographical History

He died from typhoid fever in a military hospital at Berlin, Worcester County, Maryland on 7 November 1862.
