GEORGE DUFIELD— was born May 23, 1811, in that part of Kanawha county, Virginia, now included in Braxton county, West Virginia. He was a son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Shock) Dufield, both of whom died in Illinois.
In Nicholas county, (then) Virginia, April 20, 1837, George Dufield married Virginia Pierson, and in the year following their union he made his home in Braxton county, on Long Run of Birch river. In 1842 he had there a tract of 275 acres, only a few acres cleared, and since that time he has put 100 acres under cultivation. He has given to five of his children a good farm each, and his children are all living in this county except the one the war took. All are married but one.
