- BAPTISM & DEATH: iii. Azariah, bapt. 24 Mar. 1695; d. in 1769. [Source: Nathan Grier Parke II, THE ANCESTRY OF LORENZO ACKLEY & HIS WIFE, EMMA ARABELLA BOSWORTH, Donald Lines Jacobus, ed. (Woodstock, Vermont, 1960), pp. 241-42: (FHL Film # 1015822 item 9)
NOTES: Azariah Canfield, born at Milford about 1693, settled in New Milford 1727 and died there in 1769; married at Milford, 26 Feb. 1719/20, MERCY BALDWIN, according to the Milford record, but there is no doubt that she was daughter of Thomas Bassett. [Ref.: Milford Land Records, Vol. 9, p. 247, Azariah Canfield and Mercy his wife of New Milford joined in a conveyance with other children of Thomas Bassett, 7 Feb 1736/7.] If her mother was a Baldwin, as stated by the manuscripts of the late Nathan G. Pond and printed in the third report of the Bassett Family Association, the name may have been an inadvertence on the past of the recorder who wrote her mother's maiden name instead of her own surname.
