The Canfield Family

Updated March 14, 2001

About Our Family Research


Names in this family tree include: Allen,Boynton, Dumstrey, Morrison, Mosher, Pike. Nancy Allen's father fought in the Revolution and was first cousin to Ethan Allen. Nancy Allen's mother was a Pike. They came from England in 1635. The Boynton's came in 1638. This information is from a letter written in 1942 by Mabel to her brother, Richard J Canfield. She is offering him the family tree, but we don't know if he took her up on the offer!
The Canfield line has been traced only to John Mosher Canfield born in Wisconsin. The family moved to Waseca County, Minnesota during his growing up years.
Clarence Grant Canfield was the only one of his generation to have children. He had a sister, Mabel Sanderson, and there were other siblings that we have not been able to find. Clarence Canfield helped build the Fort Randall Dam in Picktown, South Dakota.
I would be happy to answer any questions that I can on this family. And PLEASE if you have anything to add, I would like to hear from you!
