Death:      Jun., 1673, Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, USA

The two photos on this memorial are mis-leading and would make you think he was buried in Norwalk, but that isn't the case. He was an early settler of Norwalk, New Jersey, but he moved to Newark, New Jersey, where he died and was buried. Where he is buried is described under the inscription section of this memorial. His surname is also either spelled Canfield or Campfield as well.

He was born in the town of Harlestone, Northamptonshire, England and was baptized in St. Andrews Church in that same town on 27 Feb. 1604, the son of Gregorie/Gregory & Joan (?) Camfield [Canfield]. Matthew's father died in 1635 and Matthew emigrated in 1637 to America, settling in the New Haven Colony [included Norwalk, CT.] and later removing to Newark, New Jersey. He married Sarah Treat in 1644. It isn't known for certain exactly where he was buried, but the most popular guess is that he is buried in The First Prebyterian Churchyard in Newark, but no tombstones exist for him and his wife Sarah.
Matthew and Sarah had 9 children: Samuel (1645-1690), Sarah (1647-?), Ebenezer (1649-1694), Matthew (1650-1705), Hannah (1651-c.1672-1688), Rachel (1652-before 1672), Jonathan (c.1655-c. 1684-1688), Ruth (before 1660- between 1672-1688), Mary (c.1660-after 1688). Matthew wrote a will circa 1672 in Newark, New Jersey, which mentions his wife, Sarah, and children: Samuel, Sarah, Ebenezer, Matthew, Hannah, Rachel, Jonathan and Mary and omits daughter, Ruth.

Inscription
The present Newark City Hall now stands where this cemetery once was. This necessitated the removal by the church of any remains in the late 1950's to a mass grave in a memorial garden in a different section of the church grounds. The cemetery had not been maintained for some years and many grave stones were broken or were not legible. The remaining intact headstones were placed in storage in the basement.
