Patricia Take a good look at the canals in western NY during this time, also the railroads that were in existance. Via canal, one could take more belongings, via rairoad, only what you could carry, unless you were rich. Once in Buffalo, take the boat that carries you into Lake Michigan and from there you can find many starting points to head west. Don't forget, the voyagers of New France (Quebec) did this route to the Mississippi and Missouri by canoe which carried up to 10 tons of supplies. Guenter in Michigan ps: any relation the Mary Dewitt nee Thorp of Perry, Wyoming Co, NY?

Re: Migration Route to Iowa 1840s and 1850s Greetings, I am seeking advice regarding migration routes from others who may have had pioneers in their families who went to Iowa in the 1840 sand 1850s from Wyoming County, New York. Several families I am researching were called by adventure and the opening of new lands. The first family to go west that I am researching was the Cyrus ROOD family. Cyrus and his wife, Susan Pettingell Rood, and their grown children migrated from Orangeville Township, Wyoming County, NY, about 1843. They settled in Union Township, in Van Buren County, which is in the southeastern part of Iowa. In 1847, their daughter Adaline married Volney KNIGHT at the home of the bride in Winchester. Although Volney’s residence at the time of his marriage was listed as Des Moines County, he soon moved to Van Buren County where they were enumerated in the 1850 U.S. census near her parents and siblings. I have wondered if the Johanna Knight who married A. S. Scovel was Volney’s sister? I have also wondered if the Knights and Scovels came from Wyoming County, too? In 1850, Cyrus Rood’s occupation was listed as a [stone] mason and Volney Knight’s as a wagon maker. The other Rood children were Isaac P., Calista, James, and Maryette. About 1854 lands in Webster County, Iowa, opened up for settlement. A Webster County history mentions that Volney Knight and family arrived to settle their claim in the summer of 1854. It is thought that it may have been the Knights who wrote glowing letters to friends and relatives in Wyoming County encouraging and convincing them to come west to Webster County. Of those who did indeed migrate in 1854 or 1855 were: David P. Rood and his wife Elizabeth Boddy Rood, and their little son, Eli Rainforth Rood (in the fall of 1854); Elizabeth’s father and brother, Galen and Joseph BODDY; David Rood’s brother Zera Tanner Rood; and Benjamin GRANGER, and possibly William Hatfield. All of them were from Wethersfield Springs-Hermitage area. David and Zera Rood were the nephews of Cyrus Rood. (Cyrus and their father, Eli(hu) Rood, were brothers, and had come to Wyoming County, then Genesee County, from Hampton, Washington County, New York, in the early 1820s, along with other family members including two of their sisters, Lydia and Sarah, who were married to Ormus and Reuben Doolittle. They were of the seven children born to (Captain) David and Sarah (Rogers) Rood who were married at Sandgate, VT, about 1784, but who lived at Salem, Washington County, New York, until before 1810 when they moved to Hampton). What migration route would they have taken from Wyoming County in 1854 to Iowa? Did they travel by steamer from Buffalo to Chicago via the Great Lakes and from Chicago by railroad to Galena, Illinois, and then across the Mississippi River by ferryboat to Dubuque, Iowa, and from there procuring wagons and oxen teams for the overland journey to Webster County? OR, did they travel by covered wagon along the Seneca Trail from Buffalo to Toledo and from there by river barge down the Ohio River to Cairo and then north up the Mississippi River? Or, did they travel from New York City by ship to New Orleans and then continued by steamboat up the Mississippi River to Iowa? Did they first go to Cyrus and Susan Rood’s in Van Buren County whereby possibly the men folk traveled north along the Des Moines River to Webster County to secure their claims before winter, returning to Van Buren County until springtime, leaving Volney and possibly bachelors Isaac and James in Webster County to protect their land from claim jumpers? Both of the land deeds for David P. Rood and Joseph Boddy were dated June 1855 and secured at the Ft. Des Moines Land Office. A land office in Webster County would not open until the winter of 1855. About 1855 Calista Rood married Benjamin Granger. Was Benjamin the son of Ephraim Granger of Wyoming County? In 1860 James Rood married Elizabeth Greensides and Isaac P. married an Isabelle. Both Isaac and James served in the Civil War---all the Roods did…it is believed they were influenced by their famous uncle James Rood Doolittle the great senator from Wisconsin who was a close confident and personal friend of Abraham Lincoln. James was killed during the war in Arkansas. David P. Rood also served in the Civil War, but from Wyoming County…he had returned to reside in New York during the winter of 1855 after his wife’s tragic drowning in the Mississippi River. Joseph Boddy returned to Wyoming County in 1858, but just long enough to marry Mary Warren, the daughter of Russell and Emily (Thompson) Warren of Orangeville Center. Joseph and Mary Boddy returned to his farm near Ft. Dodge where their first two children were born, Carrie and Frank Boddy, in 1859 and 1860, respectively. However, some time in 1860 they, too, returned to Wyoming County, New York, where the family lived until 1879 when they migrated to Norton County, Kansas. Cyrus and Susan Rood and their children and families continued to live in Webster County, Iowa, until the 1870s when they moved to Polk County, Iowa, settling on farms near Grimes. Also, moving to Polk County was the Scovel family. How very often does cluster migration figure in the lives of our ancestors! I would very much like to hear from others who had Wyoming County-ites who migrated to these counties in Iowa. I would also be grateful for any insight you could provide regarding migration routes they might have used. Thank you. Sincerely, Patricia Boddy Tharp [email protected] (underscore between p_tharp) _________________________________________________________________ Check out MSN PC Safety & Security to help ensure your PC is protected and safe. http://specials.msn.com/msn/security.asp

Pan American's Beautiful Rainbow City Formally Opened With Picturesque Parades and Imposing Ceremonies. Today, the 20th day of may, will be ever memorable in the annals of Buffalo through the dedication of the Pan-American Exposition. The Queen City of the Lakes, upon which the eyes of the world are turned, is en fete for the occasion. Public buildings and many private ones are decorated with flags and bunting in honor of one of the greatest days in Buffalo's history. To make the event of more than national significance, high dignitaries from all parts of the United States and representatives from the various countries of South and Central America and Mexico are present. Their presence adds dignity and importance to the exercises. In this they fulfill in letter and spirit the dream of James G. Blaine, for a untied Pan-America, through their interest in the international enterprise upon the northern boundary of the city, which includes the ripe fruits of the citizenship and soil and climate of every country in the Western Hemisphere. The President of the United Sates represented in person, upon so notable an occasion, Theodore Roosevelt, the Vice-President, delivers an oration at the dedicatory exercises at the Temple of Music. Timothy Woodruff, Lieutenant-Governor of the great Empire State, is also present and delivers an oration in honor of the first great international Exposition ever held within the boundaries of the leading State in the Union and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts expresses the felicitations of the sister States. Exercises that characterize the occasion with additional eclat are to be the flight of upward of 10,000 carrier pigeons which will bear the tidings of the event to the principal cities of the land; the explosion of 1500 dynamite bombs, the sending up of 150 kites and 1000 gas balloons to notify all people that the Pan-American Exposition is formally thrown open, and two parades, one civic and military and the other a dazzling pageantry, from the city to the seat of the great Exposition. The Exposition is worthy of the dedicatory exercises. Its stately buildings, broad avenues, lovely gardens, smiling waterways, artistic bridges, beautiful statuary, emerald lawns and verdant groves, its oriental streets, magnificent Stadium, Six Nations' Village and its unrivaled Midway, all constitute the most lovely picture ever created by human hands. There have been other expositions on a larger scale and built upon a more stately plan, but none so well conceived for beauty alone, or to express a festal spirit. The strongest impression the visitor receives from the first sight of the grounds today, is that of exquisite delight. While one misses the classic stateliness expressed in the ensemble of the White City at Chicago he realizes that the true purpose of the 20th century Exposition which is to delight as well as to instruct, is well served here. From the Triumphal Bridge, alone, the full beauty of the Exposition breaks upon the vision of the beholder. After a walk through the approaches around the park lake and up the Appian Way leading to the Fore Court flanked by the double columns ornamented with flags, the prospect here straight down the Esplanade through the Court of Fountains to the Electric Tower is well calculated to inspire admiration. The four piers of the bridge, each 100 feet high, surmounted by the Mounted Standard Bearers 49 feet higher, rich with gold bronzed sculptures and ornamentation form an impressive portal. The stateliness of the structure is relieved by the chains of shields festoned with flags suspended between the towers on either hand. Now that the buildings are finished it will be seen that they well carry out the purposes of the designers to secure originality of effect. They said: "The Pan American Exposition is not Asiatic nor European, but strictly American. The buildings should express this. We must discard the Gothic classic and Byzantine, and exemplify American architectural ideas." Accordingly the Mines, Horticulture and Graphic Arts Buildings bear upon their facades the motives of the Spanish Renaissance. The Government Building and its pavilions illustrate a mingling of academic ideas with the picturesque style of the old Mission buildings of Southern California. The Machinery Building and the Electricity Building follow the Spanish Renaissance motives while the Manufacturers resumes the academic style which is first seen in the Temples of Music and Ethnology. The Agriculture Building is vaguely Italian with arcades reminiscent of the Sala del Consiglia. All of these are grouped about courts whose extent and beauty and general adaptability for scenes of pleasure, have never been equalled. Moreover they are laid out with reference to a general plan, to which their settings conserve. The theme of the Court of Fountains and of the Grand Court before the Electric Tower is water. The power of the element is expressed in the mighty torrent that rolls in the volume of 25,000 gallons a minute 55 feet above the basin from a niche in the tower and makes two leaps to the cascades where it bursts in spray. The beauty of water is delineated in the jets that throw back the water toward the niche and others that spurt it high in air, where by night colored electric lights convert it into hails of diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies. The abundance of water is symbolized by the Fountain of Abundance at the lower end of the court where the liquid spouts and trickles, ripples, exudes from the base of the group of Abundance and is hurled back again by concentric jets to illustrate its never failing supply. Nature in her various aspects is the theme of the west Esplanade. This court with its sunken basins bordered with flowers is dominated by the Fountain of Nature. Subordinate groups illustrate here common manifestations, including Annual Wealth, Mineral Wealth and Floral Wealth which are typified by groups of statuary so named. The east court before the Government Buildings, is devoted to the praise of man. Its greatest fountain is the Fountain of Man whose career in every age is expressed by the Savage Man. The Age of Despotism, the "Age of Enlightenment" and subordinate groups. Over all is the enchanting display of color, whose mild and skillful arrangement has given the ensemble the title of "The Raiblow City." It illuminates but does not dazzle, and supplies the one thing needful to complete the festal harmony of flowery landscape and delightful architecture, rendering the result a veritable and ideal pleasure place for the people. * * * * * * * PAN-AMERICAN---The MIDWAY.

source: Buffalo Evening News, Monday-May 20-1901 LIEUTENANT RYAN COMES HOME AGAIN. Lieut. John J. Ryan, who has been in service in the Philippines since November, 1899, returned to Buffalo yesterday. Lieut. Ryan was a member of Co. M., 26th infantry, and was attached to the staff of Gen. Hughes in charge of land transportation. "My service was in the Province of Panay which, next to the Province of Luzon,was the scene of the hardest fighting of the rebellion," Lieut. Ryan told a NEWS reporter yesterday. "Forty thousand men were in the field in Panay. Fighting has entirely subsided throughout the island and with the exception of a few bands of marauders conditions are peaceful. Gen. Delgardo who surrendered to Gen. Hughes has taken the oath of allegiance to the United States and will become governor of Panay. "All the rebel chiefs are now reconciled to American occupations, with the exception of Col.. Salis, who proved to be an exceedingly dangerous rebel. He was refused conditional surrender and will be tried for violation of the articles of war. The Filipinos as a whole began to appreciate what the Americans propose to do for them in the way of protecting their property and educating their children and the revolutionary spirit has entirely subsided." Lieut. Ryan was mustered out of the service at San Francisco on the 13th of this month, and will now settle down in Buffalo. ~submitted by Linda Web-Page Editor: BETHANY ~ Its Past and Present ~ http://www.arkwebshost.com/family/bluebird/TownOfBethany.shtml Contributor for the BUFFALO and Western NYS Website: www.buffalonian.com ~ History Through Newspapers

Would you give information on how I proceed further in obtaining information referring to name on today's list. William Thomas of Sheldon.
