township, Henry County, in the beech woods.

May 20, 1834 ~ Tuesday

Tuesday 20^th. We traveled through the day,
twenty five miles, and encamped near
Greenfield. Some part of the way the roads
being so bad, I waded over my boot tops
in mud, and helped to pull through
the wagons, with ropes which were fixed
with an iron hook in the end, which was
hoocked in the tongue of the wagon, and
which was easily managed. While we were eating
dinner, three gentlemen came riding up
on very fine loocking horses, commenced their
inquiry of various ones concerning our traveling
in so large a body. Asking where we were
from, and where we were gowing. The reply
was as usual: some from the state of Maine;
another whould say, "I am from York state," some
from Maschusetts, some from Ohio, and some whould
reply "We are from the east." and as soon as we
have done eating dinner, we start to go
west again. They then addressed themselves to
Dr. Willams to see if they could find out
who the company was. The Docter replied we have
no one in particular. They asked if we had
not a general to take the lead of the company.
His reply was no one in particular; but
sayed they, is there not some one amoung
