I'm also looking for a James Caufield in NY. Mine I've been able to track down to
Brooklyn. I have him in the 1880 census (born 1830 Ireland) and dead by the 1900 census.
Thats all I have on him. He married a Bridget Finley and they had kids that all lived in
Brooklyn. I've found most if not all the kids but Papa James is hiding before 1880.
One thing I've noticed about this last name is more often than not its spelled
incorrectly as Caulfield or Canfield. The transcribers mistake the letter u in script for
the letter n.
