General Notes: Husband - John Burchfield




He was one of the early settlers of Springfield township, Lucas County, Ohio, where he bought 40 acres of government land, and an additional 40 acres from a Mr. Spalding, all uncleared land. "Pioneer life at best is a hard one, and this family must early have learned the meaning of 'want,' for the husband found more pleasure in shouldering his gun and going in search of game in which the country abounded than in reclaiming his farm and bringing it under his mastery; the wife seems to have been of the same roving, loving disposition, and delighted in going into the woods to gather wild-flowers. These two lived close to nature's heart and took little thought for the morrow."
