  [562]

           JOHN W. CAMPFIELD, was born in Morris County, N.J. April 2,
       1810.  He was raised in that State, and served an apprenticeship in
       the boot and shoe making in Newark, in that State; upon reaching
       manhood he decided to locate in Michigan, and arrived in Detroit
       July 5, 1832; went to Ann Arbor the same year, and in 1833 located
       in Port Huron.  At that time there were only a few frame buildings
       besides the Indian huts.  He went to work at his trade, and has been
       connected with the boot and shoe business most of the time for the
       past fifty years.  He is the oldest settler now living in Port
       Huron.  He has been successful in business, though he has lost con-
       siderable money by going security for others.  During the early his-
       tory of the town, he was elected Town Trustee, School Director and
       Collector.  A few years after coming here, in 1835, Mr. CAMPFIELD
       married Miss MARY ANN ROBERTSON, a native of this State; she died in
       18*2.  They had eight children, four of whom survive -- WILLIAM W.,
       MARIETTE, LOUISE E. and ELLA.  In 1853 Mr. CAMPFIELD married MARIA
       E. JOHNSON, of Schenectady, N.Y.  They had one daughter, EVA, who
       died at the age of thirteen.
