Having but limited means, and no more then sufficient to reach the town with, he resolved to peddle his way through, and by so doing to save what little he had earned to aid him when he reached the town. So procuring a small tin trunk and the necessary articles, he set out on foot ac- companied by a male traveling companion who was coming here at the same time. All of the first day he tried to disposed of his articles, but without success. And on the second day, he presented his companion with a pair of mit- tens, who was suffering with the cold, through his pack or trunk over his shoulders, and re- solved to peddle no more. On his arrival here, he took up his abode with Jabez Lewis, then
living on the farm now own by Andrew Kuder, and in 1815, moved on the place that he was living on at the time of his death. They had eleven children as follows :
