Hi Nancy
Here is what I wrote the other day (I just cut & pasted from my copy)
.....
Actually, our lines do fit, just much further back
My Hezekiah Graham Canfield (fought in war 1812) (1781-1863) was the son of
Silas Canfield (fought in the Revolution) (1741-??) & Judith Graham.
Silas Canfield was the son of Timothy Canfield (1700-??) & Keziah Ferris
(c.1706-c.1754).
Timothy Canfield was the son of Ebenezer Canfield (1670-??) & Mary Henery.
Ebenezer Canfield was the son of Samuel Canfield & Elizabeth Willoughby, and
the older brother of your Jedediah
So that makes you & I, what, 7th or 8th cousins or something like that?
Do have one question/comment for you:
Your Jedediah Jr you have married to Rose Wescott; my information was that
her name was Rose Ketchum. My source for this was "Colonial Families in the
United States of America" by George Norbury Mackenzie (1907) which is online
at
Amcestry.com

Hi Ron,
You wrote to me a couple days ago and said my line fit into yours. I somehow
lost you email and would love it if you would refresh my mind at to how we
are connected.
I do know you had ask me about either Lydia Kellum or Rose Wescott??? I am
sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner but I had a relapse with the
shingles and haven't kept up with things very good....sorry. My source on
these two ladies was a cousin of my husbands and I am not sure where she got
that information. I will do some checking.
I am so glad the Canfield site is being more active.....
Nancy
