John Gedney Westerfield— Yonkers,NY 1823
I am trying to find the ancestors of John Gedney Westerfield, my great-great grandfather. He was born in Yonkers, NY in 1823, married Rebecca Dingee of Somers, NY. They were among the founders of the town of Wilmette, Illinois and died there. They had at least four children, Charles Pomeroy Westerfield. Frank Westerfield, Harry Westerfield and Mame (Mary) Westerfield. I've been unable to get beyond John and the problem has to be that the name was anglicized from Westervelt at some point. Can anyone help? Thank you. Phil May
