●▬▬▬▬▬▬● ๑۩۩๑ ●▬▬▬▬▬●
Candace Spencer Munson was born in Winchester, Litchfield County, Connecticut, in 1776, was married to Ashel Munson in 1798. They left Connecticut in June, 1821, with two yoke of oxen hitched to a wagon, for New Connecticut. Their daughter, Mrs. C. C. Bronson, writes about this trip: "We rested by the way, doing are cooking and washing, We had a one-horse wagon in which five of us rode, and another horse saddled with side-saddle and pillions, upon which two more rode. We had a cow, which furnished us with milk, and my mother dried a bushel of rye rusks, which we pulverized and ate in milk. If there was any milk left from our meals, it was hung in a pail in the top of the wagon, and churned itself into butter for us. At Albany, there was a ferry a mile wide, which we crossed. The Erie Canal was just being built then at Buffalo, and the Dutchmen were mad enough at having the meadows torn up for "that ditch." As we came through Buffalo we counted counted the houses, my sister counting one side and I counting the other, of the main street, and found seventy-three and seventy-five.
"We felt very homesick at the prospect until we arrived in Mentor, in 1821, which looked to us like the garden of Eden, with its fine soil and good roads. The next summer we went to school in a log school house, the first Sabbath school also being held in that same building, and when I was sixteen I was given a class. The men who worked out got twenty-five cents a day for their work. Wheat brought thirty-five cent a bushel, calico fifty cents a yard, girls were paid $1 a week for housework and seventy-five cents for sewing."
