Apparently there's the Conrad Comp b. 1775 and Jacob Comp b. 1785 ancestors: Now they may have been brothers.
Conrad COMP (1797-1873) was the son of a Conrad Comp who was born in 1775. www.rootsweb.com lists their birth and death places as "Perry, PA, USA". It seems logical that it was meant to be Perry County. Conrad's wife was Esther Agein Comp, born in 1797. Their only child was Conrad O. Comp.

Rev. George Leiby COMP 1848 1916 Here's what H. H. Hain writes: "Rev. Geo. Leiby Comp, the son of Andrew and Margery (Miller) Comp, was born near Walnut Grove 1848. He attended local schools, and when fifteen years old ran away from home to enter the Union Army. His father brought him back, but he later enlisted as a member of the Emergency Corps and reached Gettysburg after the battle was fought, but assisted in restoring the field from the havoc of war. In 1864 he reenlisted in Company G, 208th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served to the end of the war. He then farmed the Comp homestead until 1889, when he entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church.... On account of his health he retired from ministry in 1914. He died at Newport 1916. He married Ester Jacobs and the had two sons: Jacob born 1876 and Andrew born 1886. Both sons became ministers.

George W. Comp (1851-1917) was the son of Jacob Comp and brother of William Henry Comp. He and his wife, Jane, are buried at Walnut Grove Cemetery.
