    1. [OHHARRIS] Early Pioneer Life Questions
    2. Hello, My ancestors, Jane and Jonathan Laizure, arrived in Nottingham Township in 1818. They had 80 acres. Coming from Bedford, PA, they probably travelled during the spring or summer. However, Jonathan was taken with his last illness in January 1819, and made out a will. I'm trying to figure out what kind of circumstances they were left in with Jonathan dying soon after their arrival in a new place. Is there a web site regarding how long it took to put up a log cabin, etc. that anyone has found to be useful? In 1859-60, the family was harvesting oats on the land. Maybe Jonathn was also sowing outs. Is there a site that could tell me when they were sown, harvested, etc.? Thanks, Sharon Laizure Hofer
