Notes for MATTHEW CANFIELD: Matthew was made a freeman in 1654, deputy in 1654-1666, and assistant 1658-1663. His name appears on the Charter of 1662 and he was one of the first settlers of Newark, New Jersey. (source: The McCutcheon (Cutcheon) Records, pages 215-216.) Matthew Canfield resided in New Haven as early as 1644. From Norwalk, Connecticut, he was sent as a member to the General Colonial Assembly in 1645, to represent Norwalk until the union of the ten colonies of Connecticut and New Hampshire were consummated. Matthew was one of the nineteen signers of the petition to King Charles the Second, for the Charter of the Colony and his name is mentioned in that invaluable grant to Connecticut in 1662. This is proof of Matthew Canfield's standing in the Colony, as only those were asked to sign this petition who had sustained high social position in England before coming to make their home in New England. In 1665, Matthew was appointed by the Crown to be a judge in the Jersey Colony. He died in office in 1673. (source: A Genealogical Story, Dayton and Tomlinson, pages 35-36).
