While googling "something", I came upon an article written by a volunteer fireman about the Big Tree/Hamburg area South of Buffalo. It is part of a site called classicbuffalo.com. Cynthia may have it on her web site so forgive if I'm repeating a site that already has been acknowledged but I had to make a reference to this particular writing. What a wonderful article about that area. He goes on about the first settlers with names and where they settled. He tells about how the roads were developed, stage coach travel, hotel, who married who, post offices, fashion clothing of the men and the women and much more. I sat with my eyes glued on this article. I'm from the area and to read all about the familiar names of people and places had me in awe. Even if you're not from the area, it's great reading to learn about first settlers. http://www.classicbuffalo.com/HistoryBigTree.htm
