Bayfield's sister, Fanny Gertrude Mary was married in 1869 to Russell George Freeland, an English military officer who later acquired property in Charlottetown and elsewhere in the province. On the death of Admiral Bayfield, a number of property-based trusts were established involving members of the Bayfield and Freeland families. Edward Bayfield moved to British Columbia sometime before 1920.

Among the papers inherited from this firm were the Russell Freeland estate, the C. M. Bayfield estate, the Margaret Peters estate and the Lemuel E. Poole estate. Documents include conveyances, leases, mortgages, mortgage ledgers, insurance papers and correspondence relating to the administration of the estates.
