Biography

Charlotte Canfield was born in New Haven County, Connecticut -- probably at Derby -- about 1807, a daughter of Sheldon Canfield and Elizabeth "Bets[e]y" (Pease) Canfield; she married, first, Peter Tomlinson, at Derby in mid-November of 1828. Widowed in 1858, she is believed to be the Charlotte Tomlinson who married, second -- as his second wife -- widower Samuel Arnold Hine, in the spring of 1864.

Samuel died in 1867; while no certain death record has been found to date for Charlotte, she may be the Charlotte Hine who died just over a decade later (see Research Notes, and Sources, below), in early November of 1878, and is buried in New Haven's Evergreen Cemetery.

Research Notes

While it is not specified in Jacqueline Ricker's 1979 Families of Early Milford, Connecticut (see Sources), and should probably be regarded as uncertain, that Samuel's second marriage was to a widow Charlotte Tomlinson, this appears the most reasonable scenario: no original record of such a marriage has been located to date (July 2021), but neither has any conflicting record. Charlotte (Canfield) Tomlinson was the widow of Peter Cortelyou Tomlinson, whom she had married in 1828^[1] and who died at New Haven in late May of 1858,^[2] a little more than a year after the death of Samuel Arnold Hine's first wife, Mary. The match seems simply logical; widower and widow were relatively close in age, had a shared experience of recent loss, and lived in adjoining towns -- Orange and Derby.

While it does seem reasonable to conjecture that Charlotte (Canfield) [Tomlinson] Hine may be the Charlotte Hine who died in 1878, and whose grave sits in a New Haven burying-ground, some attention should be paid to this 1881 Seymour, Connecticut, record in the NEHGS database:

"Mrs. Charlotte E. Hine, dau. of Sheldon Pickett, birthplace and res. New Milford, aged 53, Mar. 24."^[3]

This Charlotte Hine, however, is the former Charlotte Pickett who married first, Preston Peck in 1850, at New Milford;^[4] and subsequently married John M. Hine of New Milford at Seymour in March of 1880.^[5]
