The card game and gambling casinos originated with Richard Albert Canfield, son of William Canfield and Julia Akins.William was the son of John Camfield and Sally Childs. Richard was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1855.William was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1809 and was a Whaler, printer, Newspaper editor and Restaurantor married to Julia Ann Akin (Aiken).Richard didn't like hard work and sweat and devised better (to him) means to live his life. He amassed fortunes in his lifetime. We do not know who John is descended from but would surely like to know.
