There was a publication ... I can't remember it's official name ... but it is called something like The Legislative Manual prepared (& published) at the beginning of each legislative session which would contain the name of the Clerk. The NYS Library has a full set of them. If you wanted to know the range of years in which he served, perhaps someone at the library could check for you.

He is cited as becoming NYS Clerk in 1893; and judging from the brief entry (the rest of which you already know) he may not have been serving at the time that Comfort's book was issued. You might want to contact the City Island Historical Society at www.cityisland museum.org to see if they have more information on him; or alternately contact a Mormon regional center (Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints) to use their indexes. I noticed too that the NYS Library has a Pell family periodical called Pelliana: Pell of Pelham which might be a promising source. Perhaps the State Library may have some additionally information about Henry Scofield Pell.
