About David Canfield -
David's second, or perhaps third, wife, Submit, is buried by herself in Greenwood in Wilson. I linked her to David, and put a quite lengthy discussion in her bio section. His generally acknowledged first wife was Hannah Northrop. I have been unable to find where she might have died or is buried, and it appears that the owners of various online family trees have just made up dates. David appears in the 1800 US census in the right place and in the right age range, and there's an adult woman in the household who is also in the right age range to be Hannah. But there are a bunch of kids who were born before David and Hannah got married in 1796. Hannah may have been his second wife, or he may have inherited the children from someone else. I've found nothing on a possible wife before Hannah, and no discussion of the 1800 census data.
YOUNGSTOWN - David G. Canfield, 91, of 1788 Youngstown-Wilson Road, died Wednesday (Jan. 5, 1972) at the Ransomville General Hospital where he was a patient for one year.
A lifelong resident of the Town of Porter, he was born in 1880, the son of Frank and Sarah Canfield. He operated a farm at his home.
Mr. Canfield was a member of the former Porter Center Methodist Church.
His wife, Kittie Clapsattle Canfield, died in 1954.
Surviving are four sons. Kenneth, Rex and Clarence Canfield, all of this village, and Arthur Canfield of Wilson; five grandsons and one (great?) grandson.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Hardison Funeral Home, Ransomville, with the Rev. Edward Deighton of the Dickersonville Methodist Church officiating.
Burial will be in Oakland Rural Cemetery here.
Friends may call at the funeral home from 7 to 9 p.m. tonight and from 2 to 5 and 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday.
