George GARFIELD, {oldest son of Samuel GARFIELD and Lydia HAYWARD} was born in 1809 - 1810 in the state of Vermont. Sometime in his life, probably circa 1815, he migrated to Saratoga County, New York and then on to Onondaga County, New York where he met and married Ann HOYT,[06:38-S] circa 1833. He came to Chautauqua County, New York in 1835, where his first son Isaac Garfield was born. He remained in New York State until after the birth of his daughter Sarah in 1837. Sometime between 1837 and 1840 he moved to Pennsylvania where his daughter Martha was born. He stayed there until sometime after 1844 when his second son Minot "Hoyt" Garfield was born. He returned to Chautauqua County, New York in 1854 and settled in French Creek Township where his last son "Willie" was born. Somehow, whether through hard labor or by inheritance, George Garfield had acquired $ 19,400.00 in land and $ 2,000.00 in personal items by the age of 45. He apparently was a farmer most of his life. Although there are no records of land transfers, Isaac Garfield, George's son, must have acquired better than 200-300 acres of land (probably from his father) in Chautauqua County, French Creek Township because the 1860 census records show him at the age of 25 to be worth $ 26,000.00 in land and $ 2,700.00 in personal items. The other sons apparently acquired nothing, "Willie" because he died at the age of 12 and "Hoyt" perhaps because of his age (16). The land records showed that "Hoyt" purchased his own land in 1874 when he was 30 years old. George Garfield died in 1865 and is buried in Old French Creek Cemetery in French Creek, N. Y. His wife, Ann, remarried (Abraham SMITH) and lived until she was 75 years old. She died in 1891 and is buried with George Garfield in Old French Creek Cemetery (TEFFT) .Spouse of Ann
