I also am looking at this family. I received the following information on a genealogy.com forum from Margaret Durfy. Also, below this post is a correction. Below that will be my information.

In response to inquiry from Charles Durfy--My husband is descended from Henry Durfy born Canada 1818. He lived in Hamilton,Ontario, Canada (Wentworth County). In the same area lived Augustus born U.S., Theodore-U.S. and Jedediah born 1777 in U.S.and Jacob. I have not been able to prove that Jedediah is the father of the above men but It does appear to be the case. Henry and Jacob and families moved to Blenheim, Ontario Canada in 1854 where Jacob is found on the 1861 census. Henry stayed here but Jacob moved on to BadAxe Mich. Henry's son Abraham moved to Badaxe in 1880 near his uncle Jacob but soon returned to Canada.
Jacob Durfy of Glandford Township, Wentworth County, Ontario married Sara Smith of Townsend, Wentworth County, Ontario on 21st of October 1847 at the Wesleyan Parsonage(Reverend E.M. Ryerson) ref-Ontario Marriage Records-Wilson page 162. Sara Smith was descended from John Smith b1747 or 1749, Ludgate Hill, London England and Anna Roy b.13 April 1752 born Ludgate Hill, London, England. Married March 10,1772 New Jersey, Sussex County. They both lived in Ancaster Township, Wentworth County , Ontario, Canada at the time of their death. They had 8 sons and I am not sure which one Sara is descended from. The following information is from personal papers of Crowell Smith deposited in Hamilton Public Library, Ontario, Canada. I have more dates relating to John and Anna if you are interested.
For 20 years I have searched to find where in the U.S. these Durfy men came from and their parents. Jedediah was listed in the 1819 census in the same area as above. I keep finding reference to a Jedediah and Lydia Dean in Leeds County, Ontario in 1811 and can't so far find a connection to my Jedediah in Hamilton. I have an old photograph from Flint, Michigan showing 3 people but sadly no names.
Are you descended from Jacob. I have more dates on Jacob's children also.
I just started using the computer and don't know if I am supposed to be giving all this information on the forum page or sending it privately to interested parties. Advice Please. M. Durfy

Crowell Smith was a descendant of John Smith, supposedly born in Ludgate Hill, BUT his papers contain information on several of the other Smith families (and others) in the Glanford area that all intermarried. (And I have a copy of his papers- some of which are unfortunately unreadable in whole or part.)
The Sara Smith, b. 18 Mar 1825, that married Jacob Durfey, is the daughter of Lewis Smith Jr. and Sarah Freeman. Lewis is the grandson of Jacob Smith Sr., U.E., whose family were the first settlers in Glanford Twp., and no link between Jacob and John Smith is known
For geographical correctness, Townsend Twp., is part of Norfolk Co., not Wentworth Co.
A good many of the Smiths and other families ended up in the various parts of Kent Co., e.g. Blenheim.
Sorry can't help with the Durfeys, but the Smiths are another story.
I am trying to find information on my GG Grandmother Phoebe Durfy, Durfey, daughter of Jacob; son of Jedediah? and perhaps Lydia Dean. I do not have a lot of information on her other than she married Mason Stevens from Sinilac County, Michigan. He died 4/16/1886.
Phoebe and Mason had two daughters; Cora born 6/1883 and Lillian (my g grandmother) born in 1885. After Mason died, she married Roswell Newell Hilton(husband #2). Upon his death, Phoebe and the girls moved to Buffalo, Erie County, New York.
Lillian married Roy J Zollars and had three children by him. When Roy died she married Charles Kleinfelder and had three more children. Lillian died in 1918 of the flu. The children were all moved to orphanages or foster care in New York State.
I cannot find information on Cora (Phoebe's daughter). If you have any information to fill in the blanks, I would greatly appreciate it.
Have you found any information as to the earlier history of this family or what may have happened to Pheobe and Cora?
