This name is sometimes written Gaffield.
It seems to be understood by some, but whether from records or tradition 1 do not learn, that John and Ebenezer Garfield were brothers and sons of Ebenezer, from England. Neither the town nor chh. records here furnish any evidence of an Ebenezer Garfield having been here prior to Ebenezer, son of Daniel. It is said, those of that nanie, who first settled here, came from Watertown. I cannot find one of the name of Ebenezer, in the records of any town in Middlesex Co., and [ have copies of them, from 1650 to a late period, in 41 towns. It appears certain that Ebenezer, who d. here in 1799, aged 77, was son of Daniel, who was here as soon, at least, as 1728, and b. in 1688, probably in Watertown. Daniel may have been the son of Benjamin, by his second wife, Elizabeth Bridge, whom he there m. Jan 17, 1677. Their chil. were, Elizabeth, b. in 1679; Thomas, in 1680; Anna, in 1683, and Mehitable, in 1687. This does not reach Daniel, but it comes near to the period of his birth. He may have been their next child. but I do not find his birth. At that time, Samuel and Joseph Garfield were in Watertown, having fam- ilies; probably brothers of Benjamin. Samuel. whose wife was Mary, had Eliza- beth, b. in 1658 ; John, in 1664; Ruth, in 1666; Lydia, in 1668; Daniel, in 1670, who d. in 1683; Mary, in 1673, and Elizabeth, in 1676. The father of these chil- dren d. in 1684. Joseph. (brother of Samuel) whose wife was Sarah, had Edward, b. in 1664; Sarah, in 1673; Jerusha, in 1677; Rebecca, in 1683; and Grace, in 1688 Benjamin, Samuel and Joseph were probably sons of Edward, of Water- town, who was made freeman in 1635, and whose wife was Rebecca. She d. in 1661, aged 55, They were from England. Their D., Rebecca, b. March 18, 1640, m. Isaac Mixer, in Watertown, Jan. 10, 1660, some of whose descendants settled bere.
