Notes:

From writeup on wikitree at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Canfield-600:

MARY CANFIELD was born in abt 1622. He married Mary Canfield in 1643 in Milford, Connecticut. [1] [2] They had four children in 10 years. [3] She then married second JOHN LANE about 1660, in Milford, Connecticut. [4] She died before February 22, 1680, the date her estate's inventory was taken, in Milford, Connecticut, at the age of abt 58, and was buried there. [5]

'From The Ancestry and Descendants of Frederick Tracy Camp... page 2

At Branford on 15 Nov. 1660 the testimony of John Burwell [of Milford] was taken concerning a stray horse then in possession of Josias Ward of Branford demanded by John Nash of New Haven. He stated that "myself and my Cosen Edward Camp who was then living, this winter three years past, saw a colt with John Nash's mare." This was John Burwell, who must have been near Edward Camp in age, so the term "cousin" was probably used in the sense of first cousin rather than nephew. However, it may have been Edward's wife who was the actual cousin of John Burwell. She was MARY______, and her will made "Brother Canfield" an overseer. While this may have meant brother in the church, it is quite possible that she was a sister of Thomas Canfield of Milford. The Canfields, like the Burwells, were from Hitchin, Hertfordshire. If the father of John Burwell was uncle of Thomas Canfield and of Mary wife of Edward Camp, or if his mother was their aunt, these expression of relationship would be explained.

Edward's widow Mary married second, 4 Apr. 1662, being called "widow Camp that lived at Chestnut Hill," John Lane of Milford. He was a widower, with a son Isaac and daughter Sarah, wife of Jobanah Gunn. Lane's will, dated 11 Sept. 1669, made beuest to his sons-in-law [stepsons' Samuel and Edward Camp and daughter-in-law [stepdaughter' Mary Camp; and the codicil written the following day remembered his daughter-in-law [stepdaughter] Mercy Baldwin; son Isaac Lane and son-in-law Jobamah Gunn; brother William East.

Mary Lane died in 1680/1 and her will, dated 22 Feb. 1680, named her sons Samuel and Edward Camp, and daughters Mercy Baldwin, Mary Briscoe, and Mehitabel Camp [the last, the wife of her son Edward]; daughter-in-law [step-daughter] Sarah Gunn and son-in-law Jobamah Gunn [husband of Sarah Land]. Sher made Brother Canfield and John Fiske overseers of her will.

Note: Her will[6] (undated, linked below on Ancestry) mentions children SAMUEL, EDWARD, MERCY BRISCOE, and MARY BALDWIN. She mentions SON IN LAW JOBAMAH GUNN and DAUGHTER IN LAW SARAH LANE GUNN and their children. She also mentions DAUGHTER MEHITABEL, which actually a daughter-in-law, the wife of EDWARD?

Her inventory was taken on 22 February 1680/81 and recorded in New Haven.[6]
