From the book entitled "The Free State - A History and Place-Names Study
of Livingston Parish" by the members of the Livingston Parish American
Revolution Bicentennial Committee in cooperation with the Livingston 
Parish Police Jury and the Louisiana American Revolution Bicentennial
Commission, 1976.  Reprinted by permission.  Dedicated to the memory of
Reuben Cooper and Raymond Riggs.

COMFORT SWAMP is immediately south of the Castle Swamp in Section 65, 

T7S-R2E and Section 45, T7S-R3E.  A man named Comfort owned land and 

had a house on the bluff overlooking the Amite around 1880.  Huge live

oaks and a few bricks mark the spot today.  The name is familiar enough

that a local progressive bluegrass music group has taken the name.
