Lorenzo m. Canfield was born in Jefferson County, NY on Nov. 22, 1819. His wife is Jane Scott she was born in Tompkins Co, NY on Dec 4, 1826 (?there is a smudge by the 4)
their children are Washington B, Louisa Jane, Lucy Ann, Erie M, Encio (jo?), Jerome. I have all this info in their old family bible Lorenzo and Jane started when they were married so i don't have anything further back. but i have more info on their decendents. Which way are you related? we come from Erie. If you have other ? i will try to help you out. also please let me know any info you may have on them thank you.

My wife is also descended from Erie M Canfield, a GGranddaughter through Erie's son, Claude Cecil Canfield. I have a fair confidence that Lorenzo's parents were Erastus Canfield and Thankful Maxon. That information was given to the recorder at Chikaming Twp, Berrien, MI when Lorenzo applied for a marriage license at age 70 to marry Margaret Taylor, b. PA.
I'm very impressed that you have Lorenzo's family bible. I confirm all of his children's names, with the added detail that Washington's middle name was Bennette, and another spelling of Encio's name was Eucie. I also have some of their spouses and descendants.
Would you be able to send me (or post) a digital photo of the page(s) with the names in the bible? That would be a neat supporting document.
I would be interested in all of the descendants info that you have, and would be glad to share what I have in that area, if you're interested.

I googled Lorenzo Canfield and Jane Scott. I got Noktree.com entry that said that Lorenzo's parents were James Canfield and Susannah Blake. James' parents were Benjamin Canfield and Marion Barton. Benjamin lived in Ontario County NY. He died in 1799 (I believe I have an extract of his will). Hope this helps. *****See note below!!

Hello Pat Hovey:
I have since discovered Lorenzo Canfield who mar: Jane Scott was not the son of James & Susannah (Blake) Canfield. There were several Lorenzo Canfield's but this particular Lorenzo I was looking for and his family did not appear in any of the old Canfield genealogies - it's a new line.
Thank you for being so willing to help me with your information - much appreciated.
