John Bandfield (September 29, 1826 – November 7, 1903) was an American farmer, merchant and politician from New York.

Life[edit]

He was born on September 29, 1826, in Erin, then in Tioga County, now in Chemung County, New York. He attended a district school for nine months. He engaged in farming, dealt in produce, and ran a general store in the Village of Van Etten.[1]

Bandfield entered politics as a Democrat, became a Republican in 1856, and joined the Greenback Party in 1877. He was Supervisor of the Town of Van Etten in 1862, and from 1865 to 1867.[2] In November 1878, he was elected to the New York State Assembly, polling 3,412 votes against 3,019 for his Republican, and 2,325 for his Democratic opponent. He was a member of the 102nd New York State Legislature in 1879.

He died on November 7, 1903.[3]
