May 24, 1647, and a sister Hannah, baptized June 22,  1661, married Elizabeth, daughter
of Francis Willoughby, and had :

Ebenezer, born 1669.                                 Samuel,^''- born :\Lay,  1678.

Samuel Campfield'^'- appears to have accompanied his father to Newark, but to have
returned again to Norwalk. His house would seem to have been on the west side of the
river, near "Campfield Hill," which was evidently the rise of ground southerly of the sum¬
mit of Flax Hill. The old " Stamford path " ran in its neighborhood. When Matthew
Campfield left Norwalk for Newark his landed estate, including his home-lot, fell to his
.son, Samuel, from whose three sons, Ebenezer, Samuel and Jedediah, the Campfield name
spread throughout this part of the Colony.

PIbenezer, olde.st son of vSamuel,'^'- and the oldest grandson of Matthew Campfield,
the charterer, married, at the age of twenty-five (March 24, 1694), first, a Henery, and had
a large family, his children being :
 

Patience, born Oct. 8, 1695.
Ebenezer,^"^^ born Aug. 24,  169
Timothy, born Sept. 16,  1700,
Mary,' born Aug. 5, 1701.
Elizabeth, born June 5,  1702.
 

Jabez, born Oct. 20, 1705.
Lydia, born March 11, 1706.
Matthew, born Oct.  12, 1707.
Ezekiel, born Nov. 6,  1709.
David, born April 14, 1711.
 

Ebenezer Campfield'^'- married, second, Sarah Youngs, of Stamford.

The only daughter of Samuel Campfield, Abigail, married Jonathan Rockwell, son
of John Rockwell, of Stamford, and brother of Thomas, of Norwalk. These two bro¬
thers, the etymology of whose name signifies, it is said, "all for God and the King," were
 

'Solomon Tuttle, who married Mary, daughter of
Samuel Campfield,'st. lived in Ridgefield and the Ob¬
long and was a son of David'st. and Mary (Reed)
Tuttle. Mary Reed, daughter of John'st- and Ann
(Derby) Reed, married David Tuttle, Nov. 24, 1698.
Catherine, daughter of David,'^t-and sister of Solo¬
mon Tuttle, married John, born Dec. 21, 1704, son of
Edmond'st. and Elizabeth ( Bouton ) Warren, and
brother of Eliakim Warren.'st. A letter has been
found, subscribed by Solomon Warren and addressed
to his sister Catherine's brother-in-law, Edmond War¬
ren, Jr., ot which the following is a copy:

"Jan. II, 1732.

"Loving Brother,—I desire you to take ye let¬
ter subscribed to Mr. Fitch, Esq., (Gov. Thos. Fitch)
and carry it to him and desire him to send a bond
that he has in his hands by you for me, and if he de¬
mands a shilling or so I desire you to pay it and I
will pay it ycni again when ye fetch the bond, but if
you can send it up to me pretty quickly, I will pay
you for your trouble.
 

"The reason for my writing to you is the confi¬
dence which I have of your doing me ye favor and
that speedily for mv business requires haste.

"This with my humble services for yourself and
spouse and all friends is all at present from him that
is willing to serve you upon all accounts as far as
])ossible.

Solomon- Tuttle."

The Weston Warrens have choicely preserved
this document with sundry writing, etc., which tlu-v
claim appertain to the family of Joseph Warren,
(father of Gen. Joseph Warren) of Mass.

John and Catherine (Tuttle) Waring had a son,
John, born 1736, whose son, Peter, born 1781, married
Esther Crosby, and had John Thomas Waring, born
1820, the heavy Yonkers, N. Y., manufacturer, and
who built for his home the elegant establishment now
known as the Samuel J. Tilden mansion on the Hud¬
son. Mr. John T. Waring married Jeanette Palmer
Baldwin and had a daughter, Cornelia Baldwin, who
married Jesse, son of Reuben and grandson of James
Moody Hoyt, formerly of Norwalk.
