Medad was the son of Medad Comstock and Eunice Lamb. He is Family 561 on page 143 of The History and Genealogy of the Comstock Family in America.
In the California, U.S., Mortuary and Cemetery Records, 1801-1932 database, he is incorrectly listed as "Media" Comstock with a birthplace of Missouri but in the 4 April 1855 edition of the Sacramento Daily Union he's listed as "Comstock Medad" with a letter to pick up at the Post Office so this is the correct person.
He married Abigail B. Woodworth around 1820 but she died in 1822. Together, they had one daughter in 1821 named Pamelia (maybe Parmelia). He then married Maria Sage in Galena, Illinois, on 20 March 1826 and they had six known children as follows:
1. Abigail Belinda - b. 1826
2. Lucian Bonaparte - b. 1828
3. Elizabeth Anne - b. 1829
4. James Jerome - b. 1832
5. George Y. - b. 1833
6. Benjamin F.
