Prudence Canfield married Merritt Austin. They lived in Cato, Cayuga County, NY and are
listed in the census for 1870 and 1875. After that I believe they moved to Niagara
County, NY. Children include: Eugene, Harriet (Hattie), Matilda (Mattie), Charles, and
Lilly May. Lilly is my gg-grandmother. I was told that Prudence was the daughter of
Dennis Canfield and Clarissa Forbes. She had 5 brothers, Oren (possibly Orange?),
Clarence, Manley, Hurley, and Reuben. Some of the family may have lived in Orleans
County, NY.
If anyone has information regarding any of the Canfields in this family, please feel free
to contact me.
Thank you,
Kathy
