We lived in [[Ellery, New York|Elery]] about seven years. Then we moved to the eastern part of the state of [[New York]] in 1834. We stopped in the town of [[Locke, New York|Loch]] for about one year. I commenced then to work from home to earn my own clothes. We moved from [[Locke, New York|Loch]] to [[Summerhill, New York|Summerhill]], a town about four miles from [[Locke, New York|Loch]]. We did not live in [[Summerhill, New York|Summerhill]] or Summerville more than two years. While in Summerville I joined the Methodists. It was there my two sisters Mary and Silence left to go to the state of [[Ohio]]. The next place we moved was to the town of [[Venice, New York|Venice]]. | We lived in [[Ellery, New York|Elery]] about seven years.
