He joined the number going to Nauvoo , Illinois with Spencer Covert Isaac C. Haight Wm. VanOrder Dorr Curtis and others with their families.(A total of 9 families) The SEMPRONIUS MIGRATION including many Quakers went to Huron County Ohio in 1832 - 1835. Names that were from Cayuga County that I have researched and know of are: Timothy West and wife Prudence Annie Greenfield his four sons Truman Whitman West and wife George Robert West and wife minor sons: Stetson Daniel West William Greenfield West Daughter Alma West and her husband Thomas Summerton William Greenfield Jr and his family (His brother in law) Other Families of Quaker heritage who went to Fairfield, Huron County Ohio in the period of 1832- 1837 were the Sissons. The book " Gateways to the West" lists many of the people from Cayuga County to Huron County. Timothy West and his brother in Law William Greenfield helped to make the first Road in the settlement.
