We now have three genealogy files on this site: our main database which is a combined ‘Ives-Leedom’ tree, plus two additional working trees with so-far unconnected people I've found along the way, ‘Leedoms-unknown’ and ‘Netherlands-unknown’. All of the Search results will identify which tree contains the individual or place in question.

Different sources sometimes have conflicting information and there are undoubtedly a few typographical errors in here as well. Please feel free to send us any corrections to errors you may find in our files. Additions are always welcome too!

    Notes 
    • Banfield Capron came from ENG 1674 or 75 at 14 years old. Tradition says he came alone as cabin boy to seek his fortune. Settled Barrington MA, married, raised a large family and moved to Attleborough after 20 years and became a large landowner. Banfield died Aug 20, 1752 and is supposedly buried in the 'Peck burying ground'. He gave 200 acres of land to each of his children before he died (or when he died) but no stone was erected in his memory. The name of 2nd wife not given in 'Sketch of the History of Attleborough' but 'New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial, Vol. III', page 1449, gives it as Elizabeth Blackington, who died 10 May 1735. The Doggett/Daggett genealogy says that Sarah, widow of John Daggett, was Banfield's 3rd wife.
