Hi Bolivadot,
I know you haven't posted in quite a while and I hope this is still your email. I am looking for the NA Surnames of Canfield, Pulsipher, and Morehouse. Located in Keeseville, Ticonderoga and French Hill any ino you have would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Thanks,
Raven

*******************************

The Canfield Mohawks lived near the stream on Canfield Road, Chilson [Ticonderoga], NY, moving from Keeseville, NY. The Canfield Road, in Chilson,where the Native American burials are;
Native American burial grounds are in Chilson at:
1) west side of Putt's Pond beyond the Walter Hunsdon homestead
2) on the property of Patrick and Judy Donovan on rise of ground east of their homestead on Canfield Road on the Huestis lot [This site has been surveyed and photgraphed by Red Hawk of Fort William Henry.] Gunning, Lois, "Up on Chilson Hill", Burlington, VT: Queen City Printing, 1999; p.130

A Canfield Mohawk reportedly went to fight in the Seminole Wars .

Pusipher family tradition says that Jane Pusipher was of Native American descent.

Where is French Hill?
*****************************

There is a stone marker on old Gene Phillips' farm at the top of Bullrock Road. {Chilson]
Native Americans were living at Eagle Lake in early 1800's on Crown Point Bay. [They called it Long Pond]. `Indians in Adirondacks were around lakes and ponds in Chilson until mid-1800's." ibid Gunning

******************************

French hill,I believe, but am not 100% is in the Keeseville area.

Do you by any chance have any of the native canfield names? I know daniel and his children, but don't know his wife.

I know we have Pulsipher in our line and Morehouse
BTW thank you for the info.

********************************

French Hill 4.5 miles west of Keesevile

********************************

Are you people still working on this line of Canfield's?
I know there were several families of that name living in the Essex Co., NY area since the late 1700's and wonder if you are descended from one of them?
