It's just possible your Orsamus is really a Kentfield. There was an
Orsamus Kentfield in Western Massachusetts. Some of the Kentfields went
to New York State. The Canfield spelling shows up in some of the
Kentfield records. Let me know if you're interested in following up
from this angle.

I know my Canfield line up to 1814 in New
York. But that is where my Orsamus Canfield was born, the question leads to who
his parents might be and how would I get that information. I just cannot
believe with the large families they had before and all the many Canfields there
are out there right now that this early research is not on paper somewhere.
