• Notes

  In the book "Canfield" written by Alexander Gardiner in 1930, Andrew J Dam Jr. is mentioned living in New Bedford and attending The Middle Street School with his cousin Charles who was the same age. They lived on the same street and were related through Andrew J Dam Sr. cousin relationship with Charles Canfield's mother, Julia Aiken. The book also mentions Andrew J Dam Sr as a "prominent citizen who had succeeded William Canfield as proprietor of the Sheridan House" (pg 31). In 1864 the Dam's moved to NYC where the elder Dam bought the new Union Square Hotel (pg 34), which the author called an "ambitious hostelry that in uptown march of business bade fair to become a second Astor House".
