I believe that Arza Searle came to Cattaraugus county in 1824. His brother Isaac Searle I think came the year before him with his sister Phoebe Searle (B: 1791), her husband was Eleazar Densmore, and with his brother Jacob Searle (B: 1793), who moved to Belfast, NY after settling in Catt. Co. I think that their sister Pamela Searle, married to John Reynolds came in 1823 too. I think that when their parents Gideon Searle Jr, and his second wife Lucy Osgood came, they brought the rest of the younger kids, Daniel, Hannah, Lucy, and Emily with them. I think they lived with the older son Isaac when they first came.
