Gift of Frederick A. Canfield, 1901.
Frederick Alexander Canfield (1849-1926)
Frederick A. Canfield, the youngest son of Julia Ann Halsey (1817-1901) and Frederick Canfield (1810-1867), was born on April 7, 1849 at Ferromonte, New Jersey. He attended private schools in Mendham and Chester, New Jersey and later the Newton Collegiate Institute. He graduated from Rutgers College in 1870 and three years later earned the degree of Engineer of Mines from the Columbia College School of Mines.
Throughout his lifetime Canfield worked as an engineer for numerous iron and mining companies in the United States, particularly those located in New Jersey. His clients included the Allentown Iron Company, the Cranberry Furnace Company, the Empire Steel & Iron Company, the Glendon Iron Company, the Hibernia Iron Mining Company, the Lehigh Zinc Company, the Mount Pleasant Mining Company, the Pennsylvania & New Jersey Mining Company, and the Tilly Foster Mines. In addition, he spent a period of time in the 1880s working at the Royal Potosi Silver Mining Company in Potosi, Bolivia. Canfield eventually took over the Dickerson Suckasunny Mining Company, a family business started when his great-grandfather Jonathan Dickerson (1747-1805) purchased shares in the rich Morris County iron mine then known as the Succasunna Mine, and later known as the Dickerson Mine. By 1810, Canfield’s great-uncle Mahlon Dickerson completely owed the mine and from 1828, Dickerson’s nephew and Frederick Alexander’s father, Frederick Canfield, acted as its manager. Dickerson’s heirs incorporated the business into the Dickerson Suckasunny Mining Company in 1854 and expanded their enterprise to include a number of other surrounding mines. Upon Frederick Canfield’s death in 1867, Frederick Alexander took over the job of general manager of the family company, also acting as its secretary.
In addition to his mining work, Frederick A. Canfield pursued a number of other endeavors. For a time he served as the secretary and treasurer of the Ferromonte Railroad Company. In 1875, he was also granted patents for an improvement in protectors for explosive caps and for an improvement in electric fuses, and four years later for an improvement in cartridge capping and uncapping implements. He was an avid mineral collector who at the time of his death had accumulated an extensive and valuable collection. He was also interested in genealogy and in 1897 published A History of Thomas Canfield and of Matthew Camfield with a Genealogy of Their Descendants in New Jersey. He was revising this volume at the time of his death in 1926. In addition, Canfield published a “List of Mines of New Jersey” in the 1889 New Jersey Geological Report.
Canfield was also involved in a number of professional organizations, becoming a member of the Society of the Cincinnati, the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the American Numismatic and Archaeology Society, and the Brooklyn Institute. He was a life member and trustee of The New Jersey Historical Society, the vice president of the Mineralogical Society of America, and a New Jersey Commissioner to the 1892 World’s Columbian Exposition. In 1914, he received an honorary doctorate of science from his alma mater, Rutgers College.
Canfield never married and died in Morristown, New Jersey on July 3, 1926. He bequeathed his mineral and science collections and his genealogy, personal, and family papers to various institutions, including the Smithsonian Institute, Rutgers University, the Washington Association, and The New Jersey Historical Society.
Other Canfield/Dickerson Family Members:
Mahlon Dickerson (1770-1853), the eldest son of Mary Coe (1752-1827) and Jonathan Dickerson (1747-1805), became a lawyer in Philadelphia before he permanently settled in Morris County, New Jersey. He soon acquired full ownership of Dickerson Mine and entered into local and national politics. He served in the New Jersey State Assembly (1811-1813), as a New Jersey Supreme Court justice (1812-1815), as governor of New Jersey (1815-1817), as a United States senator from New Jersey (1817-1833), as secretary of the Navy under President Andrew Jackson and President Martin Van Buren (1834-1838), and as a U.S. District judge for the State of New Jersey (1840-1841). He never married.

Mahlon Dickerson Canfield (1798-1865), the eldest son of Mary Dickerson (1778-1830) and David Sealy Canfield (1774-1830), was a doctor in Bargaintown, May’s Landing, and Succasunna, New Jersey. In 1853, he gave up his medical practice to become a scientific farmer. He served as the collector of the Port of May’s Landing and as a New Jersey council member from Atlantic County from 1840-1841. He had five children with his first wife Louisa Cornelia Seward (1805-1839), and after her death married Penelope Sever Lincoln (1815-1904), with whom he had a daughter.

The majority of these papers were donated by Frederick A. Canfield in 1901 and at his bequest in 1926 (M2202-M2209). Additional accessions, which included Mahlon Dickerson letters (A10-4-74), a number of Frederick A. Canfield’s genealogical notebooks (5-10-75), and a typescript copy of Rev. W. O. Ruston’s sermon (M1676) were added to the original papers. Ruston’s sermon was donated by Freeman Leigh in 1921. Canfield’s patents were transferred from Manuscript Group 25, Miscellaneous Manuscripts to Manuscript Group 249 in October 1984.
The papers consist of the correspondence, financial and legal documents, work papers, and genealogical research of the allied Canfield and Dickerson Families of Morris County, New Jersey. The collection is largely made up of the papers of Frederick Alexander Canfield, consisting of his diaries, notebooks, and genealogical research into the Canfield and Dickerson families. In addition, there are also documents from the Dickerson Suckasunny Mining Company, the Ferromonte Railroad Company, William King, the Halsey family, the Clark Family, and Frederick W. Ricord (1819-1897), the treasurer and librarian of The New Jersey Historical Society from 1881-1897. The Canfield-Dickerson Papers date from 1738-1928 with bulk dates of 1850-1900 and consist of 2 flat files and 15 manuscript boxes measuring approximately 6.25 linear feet.
The Papers have been arranged into five series: Series I – Frederick Alexander Canfield, Series II – Canfield-Halsey Families, Series III – Dickerson Family, Series IV – Dickerson Suckasunny Mining Company / Ferromonte Railroad Company, and Series V – Miscellaneous. Within each series, the documents have been arranged by document type (correspondence, legal and financial records, notes, work papers, etc.).
Series I – Frederick Alexander Canfield (1849-1926)
Series I consists of the papers of Frederick Alexander Canfield dating from 1865-1926, and is arranged in the following sub-series: Correspondence, Diaries, Legal and Financial Documents, School Papers, Certificates, Notebooks and Notes (Personal & Business), Genealogy Research, and Miscellaneous.
The correspondence dates from 1881-1925 and consists mostly of work and personal letters received by Frederick A. Canfield regarding mineral collecting and collections and the iron industry in New Jersey. Correspondents include George Hammell Cook, Samuel G. Gordon, W. Dawson Johnston, and Henry Cooper Pitney. Of note is a volume containing copies of letters written by Canfield to his brother Augustus Cass Canfield during his time in Potosi, Bolivia from 1885-1887. These letters detail his travels through Peru and Bolivia and describe local politics, the mining industry of Potosi, and the construction of canals and railroads. Frederick A. Canfield’s genealogy correspondence is located in the sub-series Genealogy Research.
Series I also contains 57 volumes of Frederic Alexander Canfield’s diaries. The diaries date from 1865-1926 and contain brief notes on the weather and Canfield’s daily activities, with later volumes containing lengthier entries. A large number of volumes also contain various receipts, business cards, newspaper clippings, tickets, steamboat and train schedules, and calling cards.
Other materials in Series I include a small number of legal and financial documents consisting of contracts (leases and an insurance policy), patents, stock certificates, receipts, and promissory notes; school papers from Canfield’s time at Columbia College, School of Mines, including a journal of a field trip and an assay book; and Certificates.
There are also 40 small hand-size notebooks dating from 1871-1926, which Canfield used to jot down various mining notes, measurements, and occasionally diary entries or genealogy notes. The notebooks are un-indexed and therefore difficult to use. This sub-series also contains various notes on Potosi, Bolivia, mineral collections, and Morristown newspapers; a photo and negative log; and two sketchbooks.
Canfield’s genealogy research consists of manuscript versions of his A History of Thomas Canfield and of Matthew Camfield; eleven mostly bound volumes (called notebooks) containing handwritten copies of various letters, interviews, speeches, church records, graveyard inscriptions, and New Jersey town and county records; 24 small hand-size notepads containing Canfield’s working notes (the notepads are mostly indexed); various loose notes, worksheets, and questionnaires; genealogy charts; and genealogy correspondence. The latter is alphabetized by author and often includes worksheets completed by the correspondent. The collection also contains approximately 8,000 index cards containing genealogical information for all of the individuals Canfield identified. The cards have been microfilmed and are available for use in that medium.
Series II – Canfield-Halsey Families
Series II dates from 1818-1901 and contains correspondence, legal and financial documents, certificates, compositions, and miscellaneous documents of the allied Canfield and Halsey families.
The series is largely made up of correspondence, particularly letters received by Frederick Canfield, which are arranged by recipient, then by author and date. Like the correspondence in the previous series, Frederick Canfield’s incoming mail concerns mineral and insect collecting and the iron industry, in particular Dickerson Suckasunny Mining Company business. Of note are letters from John and Roswell Colt concerning the water levels in Lake Hopatcong and the Passaic River after they had been used to fill the Morris Canal, and letters from William Shupe, an employee at the Dickerson Mine who was serving in the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War.
Other recipients include Augustus Canfield (1801-1854), Augustus Cass Canfield (1842-1891), Edmund Canfield (1844-1884), Francis Allyn Canfield (1832-1876), Julia Ann (Halsey) Canfield (1817-1901), Louisa Cornelia (Seward) Canfield (1805-1839), Louisa Halsey Canfield (1839-1863), Mahlon Dickerson Canfield (1798-1865), Richard A. Canfield, Silas Dickerson Canfield (1807-1861), Ezra F. Dayton (d.1838), Emily Fitch Halsey (1819-1888), Emma Louisa Halsey (Leddell) (1817-1891), Ezra Halsey (1776-1835), Frances (Halsey) Finn (1820-1866), Sarah (Hedges) Halsey (1775-1858), Sarah Cornelia Halsey (Dayton) (1802-1875), Jacob Wykoff Piatt (1801-1857), and William Rankin. While these letters largely concern family matters and the iron mining industry, the correspondence between Ezra Halsey and William Rankin concerns Halsey’s proposal for the founding of a new school in Morristown, New Jersey, and that between Silas Dickerson Canfield and his brother Mahlon Dickerson Canfield discuss a cholera outbreak in New York and New Jersey in the summer and fall of 1832.
Other documents in this series include legal and financial documents, consisting of contracts (largely deeds, bonds, and mortgages of Edmund Canfield), the will of Mahlon Dickerson Canfield, receipts, and promissory notes; certificates; and compositions, which include the funeral sermons of Frederick Canfield and Julia Ann Halsey Canfield, a composition book of Ezra Alexander Halsey, and the last sermon of Rev. Ezra F. Dayton.
Series III – Dickerson Family
Series III, dating from 1784-1920, contains the correspondence, legal and financial documents, and work papers of the Dickerson Family, mostly of the brothers Mahlon and Philemon Dickerson.
The correspondence of Mahlon Dickerson is largely from his time as a U.S. Senator and Secretary of the Navy. The letters consist of requests for various political or naval appointments and discussion of: protective tariffs, the Second Bank of the United States, an exploring expedition to Antarctica, the iron mining industry in New Jersey, and the Dickerson Mine. There are also letters to John Hallowell, Oliver Cummins, and Joseph Kirkbride regarding a land transaction and money dispute involving Dickerson’s father, Jonathon Dickerson, and letters from Dickerson’s nephew Augustus Canfield describing his experiences in the 2nd Seminole War. Philemon Dickerson’s letters and work papers are in regard to the Clinton Manufacturing Company of Paterson, New Jersey of which Dickerson was made the Receiver.
Mahlon Dickerson’s work papers are largely from his time as a U.S. Senator. These documents include legislative notes, reports, and petitions; printed legislative bills and resolutions; and newspaper clippings, addresses, and essays. These materials concern the various issues of the time period and include a record of the vote in the Senate on the Tariff of 1828 (the Tariff of Abominations), notes on an Act to carry into effect the Treaty of Ghent, resolutions from the State of New Jersey against the Bank of the United States, and a bill “to incorporate certain persons for the purpose of opening a communication by water” (establishment of the New Jersey Canal Company).
Series IV – Dickerson Suckasunny Mining Company / Ferromonte Railroad Company
Series IV contains financial records and contracts from the Dickerson Suckasunny Mining Company and the Ferromonte Railroad Company, along with notes and reports pertaining to the iron mining industry. The company materials include payrolls, descriptions of mines, contracts, and surveys. The series also includes contracts of Edmund Canfield’s iron companies, contracts of other iron companies, reports and descriptions of various mines, maps and drawings, printed material regarding the iron industry, a prospectus on the Longwood Valley Railroad, and Ferromonte Railroad Company tax assessments.
Series V – Miscellaneous
Lastly, Series V contains the papers of the Clark Family, William King, Frederick W. Ricord, and of various other individuals. The Clark Family papers consist of 18th century survey grants, land deeds, and bonds of Thomas, David, Adrial, and Reuben Clark. The William King papers include contracts, receipts, and promissory notes, but consist mostly of letters from Jacob Vanatta (1824-1879), his lawyer. The Frederick W. Ricord papers are largely made up of letters he wrote as The Treasurer and Librarian of the New Jersey Historical Society from 1885-1888. The remainder of the material in this series consists of miscellaneous correspondence, contracts, receipts, compositions, maps, photographs, and printed materials.
