General Notes: Husband - Cassius Washington Duffield


He was a farmer on the Duffield farm, which descended from his great-grandmother, Rebecca (Wallace) Duffield, by whom a dwelling-house, still standing in 1905, was built in the spring of 1820. The house was of logs and weather-boarded, with a brick addition built in 1856. The Duffield homestead was originally granted to Richard Cowden in 1762, and by him was sold to William Wallace, and was conveyed to Rebecca (Wallace) Duffield by her brother, Josiah, and her sister, Margaret Wallace, in 1819. The original farm buildings were of stone and logs and were replaced by new structures.
In politics Mr. Duffield was a Democrat and served as school director of Guilford township. Both he and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Fayetteville, of which he was a trustee, as well as class-leader, serving in the latter position for some years. He was a close student of the Bible, and was an entertaining and instructive talker on Biblical subjects.
