Hello Harry,
Boardman Ganfield's first name was Arthur but
he never used it that we know. His father
was William Arthur Ganfield, a prominent
educator who was president of Centre College
in Kentucky when they beat Harvard in football and later he was president of
Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He was tall 6 foot5 inches or so and he was a strong supporter of sports and they have
named the gymnasium Ganfield after him at Carroll College. You can see his picture on the internet if you search under William A.
Ganfield. Boardman's sister was a prominent
teacher and writer at Hunter College in
New York City. Her name was Dorothy Ganfield Fowler. Boardman had another sister named Jane who was a librarian at Purdue University
for many years. Boardmen was my father's
first cousin and they visited in the 1930's
in California. I unfortunately never met him.
Here is the relationship of Boardman to me:
William and Charlotte's youngest son was
Samuel Ganfield, born Meare in 1845 (my great grandfather)
His son's Henry(my grandfather)b.1872
His son William Arthur (Boardman's father)b. 1873
His son George(who farmed next to Henry)b.1876
daughter Mabel
daughter Ella,my greatAunt, who I knew well
I would be happy to mail you the descendents
of William and Charlotte. There are now over
1800 of them.Our family visit their graves
each year near Cascade,Iowa
If you could possibly help us establish the
link between Wedmore and Meare Ganfields we
all would be very happy. I am excited that
we have someone of the England Ganfields in
touch with us. We have a Ganfield family site
if you would like to be part of it let me know.
Greg Patch of Australia, a Wedmore Ganfield
is a member.
Best regards,
your probable cousin,
David Judd Ganfield,PS my mother's Judd
family came from Essex, England in 1633.
My father's mother,Louisa Denley came from
near Cheltenham, England in 1890's so I feel
very English
