Judy: I am now researching my Canfield in a LDS film called "The Rose Canfield
Collection" which is a compilation of what I believe are ALL the Canfields down
from brothers Matthew & Thomas Canfield, circa 1640 in Conn. However, all their
children, etc., moved around NY and NJ too. I would suggest that you try to get
ahold of that film and see if you can find your Canfield. One of the films is
an alphabetized by first name of all generations of Canfields (including their
offspring to great-great grandchildren). The LDS will be able to help you find
these films as you may see other films that are more interesting than the one I
have. I am presuming that there are more than one film to lend out. Happy
hunting. Sandy Childs

Hi, I'm not too sure if there would be connections in NY or not,
really.
My CANFIELD ancestor is Hannah CANFIELD, b: 1708, Newark, Essex, NJ. She
married Elemuel(or Lemuel)WARD also of Newark, in 1754, and I really have no
more information about her family than that. Many of my WARD ancestors have
a lot written on them because of their connections to the founders of
Newark, but I haven't found much on her, so far. If you have any clues to
books about NY or NJ histories that mention the CANFIELDs, let me know. We
have a great Geneology Library here, so I may find the books there. Thanks,
Judy W.
