**************************************
A Quaker from Farmington, New York, Arthur Power first came to Michigan in 1823 to look for land to purchase. He camped along a spring (now Orchard Lake Rd. and 10 Mile Rd.). Arthur purchased 2,000 acres of land in Sections 22, 27 and 28. He wanted the plentiful timber available and viewed the nearby river as a main source of power for his mills. The sandy soil was good for farming.
Power left New York in early February 1824, headed for the Michigan Territory. He was joined on his adventure by two of his sons, John and JARED, along with hired hands David Smith and Daniel Rush. The younger children were left in the care of their older brother Nathan and sister Mary.
The journey took over a month, through Canada by horse-drawn sleigh, crossing the Niagara River and arriving in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on February 15, 1824. They rode over the frozen Detroit River and stopped in Detroit for supplies. They continued along the Saginaw Trail (now Woodward Ave) to their final destination. The group arrived at their new residence (now 11 Mile Rd and Power Rd) on March 8, 1824.
Power started a potash (soap) factory in 1825. He built a sawmill in 1826, using the Upper Rouge River as a source of power. Two years later, he built a gristmill along the Shiawassee Trail.
In 1826 he built his third and final home. "He was also reunited with his 25-year-old son Nathan, who came from New York to join his father in the Michigan Territory."
