Garfield Family Genealogy Forum
  
About 10 years ago I visited Garfield's home in Ohio. I purchased a book "James A. Garfield, His Life & Times, A Pictorial History" by Richard L. McElroy, 1986. It was published by Daring Books, Box 526G, Canton, Ohio 44701; ISBN 0-938936-45-X (paper) ISBN 0-938936-51-4 (cloth). This is the type of publication I really enjoy because it has many pictures with short descriptive paragraphs.
The first picture is of the home built by Lt. Thomas Garfield, born 1680, third son of Captain Benjamin Garfield who lived in Watertown Twp. (later annexed to Concord then becoming the town of Lincoln, Massachusetts). The next picture is of a field with an "X" to mark the spot of the original log cabin near Orange, Ohio, in which the President was born.
I am not related to these people, so I have no further information; just love books and want to let other researchers know what is available.
