The E-Sylum: Volume 7, Number 38, September 19, 2004, Article 13 THE SEARCH FOR DURFEE Regarding the search for information on G. W.

No occupation shown there. May be too early, but he did have a son George ... 2. More Information and More... "In July 1893, Berryman [a cartoonist] married Kate Geddes, the daughter of engraver George Washington Durfee." 3. and more proves my point, listing a PHOTO-engraver (Frederick J. Danis, 1904 -1996) who had attended DURFEE High School! 4. http://teachers.lakeviewchristian.net/anthony/Anthony_Family.htm Page now missing, search-engine extract is intriguing: "... Took over the English mint and was chief engraver and master of weights and scales during the Tudor period ... other relatives did. He married a Hope Durfee. Children: Abraham -1715 ..."
