Notes for Ethan Grant SATTERLEE

!GENEALOGY: Goldie Moffatt Satterlee
Ethan Grant and Anna (Luce) Satterlee.  Theirs was a real family, 11 in
all, 8 sons and 3 daughters.  After living in various places in the vicinity of
Albany, Corinth, and Glens Falls, New York, and finding it hard to make a good
living for their large family, Ethan and Anna decided to make a good living for
their large family.  Ethan and Anna decided to make a western pligrimage
through Ohio to Michigan, and with the thought in mind to keep the family
together and work their new found land, they started preparations for their
trek westward in 1937.  The girls and their mother made a great tub of
applesauce, home made cheese, and all kinds of pickles.  They spun their own
wool, and made their own cloth into clothing.  A neighbor made shoes for the
family, as they well knew there would be many miles of walking for exercise and
warmth along the snow trails west.  The older boys and their father outfitted
two sleighs, one a covered caravan for the mother and smaller children, with a
stove for cooking, warmth and sleeping.
   It was a mild winter so they had to defer their trip until February, 1838.
Thus it was on Ethan's 50th birthday, February 5, 1838, they started their
journey west to the wilds of Michigan, with 10 of their children.  Anmarie, the
eldest daughter remained in N.Y., Saratoga County, to ecome Mrs. Benjamin
Newton, and had 3 daughters.
   The start of their journey west was from Fortville, in Saratoga Co., N.Y.,
in sight of Mr. McGregor (where General Grant died); the trail went through
Cleveland, Ohio, along the Erie Canal; it took 22 days from New York to
Washtenaw Co., Michigan (about 30 miles south of Lansing).  The itinerary was:
February 5, 1837: left Fortsville, via Saratoga Springs, Galloway & Utica, New
York.  10th of February, Saturday, camped within 7 miles of Auburn, N.Y.
February 12, Monday, came through Auburn.  February 17, Saturday, arrived at
Ohio State line.  February 22, Thursday, passed through Cleveland, Ohio.
Febrary 24, Saturday, camped at night at Maunee Swamp.  February 25, Sunday,
crossed swamp, stayed at Perrysburgh, Ohio.  February 26, Monday, stayed at
Adrain, Lenawee County, Michigan.  February 26, Tuesday, arrived at Henry Hay's
Farm, 5 miles from Manchester in Washtenaw County, Michigan (Ethan's sister,
Bersheba, had married Henry Hay and moved to Michigan prior to Ethan's family.
They all stayed at Henry Hay's farm long enough to rest up and find land to
build on for themselves, 2 miles southeast of the corner of Jackson County, not
far from the famous Walker Tavern, where in 1832, James Fenimore Cooper stayed
and wrote a book.
  The Samuel Demarest family had preceded the Satterlees to Otisco Township in
Iona Co., Michingan in 1837.  The Demarests played an equally important part in
this community having intermarried with the Satterlee family three times.
  Eri Satterlee, lived at Napolen, Jackson County, for 3 years before returning
to Nunda, New York to marry Sylvia Sophia Keith and had five children there.
However, Ethan's sons' Alexander, Ethan Jr., and Henry each had wives and
children and wanted to take up homesteads for themselves farther west in
Northern Michigan.
  It was then in 1843 that Henry Satterlee went on ahead to prepare the way and
located near Cook's corner, about 8 miles south of Greenville; he had been on
the land about two weks when his father and some of his brothers came to help
him get started.  They took shelter in Henry's shanty and on the following day
all hands put up a house and finished it before nightfall ready for occupancy.
Ethan Sr., liked the territory, so he returned to Jackson County, sold his 40
acres to Barnabas Fry, a brother of his daughter-in-law, Harriet (Fay's) wife
of Henry Satterlee.

![additional information, 1992], "Ethan G. and Anna (Luce) Satterlee, moved
their family, except Anmarie, to Brooklyn, Jackson Co, Michigan, leaving
Fortsville, Saratoga Co., NY, on Ethan's 50th birthday, 5 Feb 1837.  They were
22 days reaching Michigan, where they remained in Jackson County until 1845,
when most of the family moved to Montcalm Co., Section #7 being the original
homestead.  Ethan's land consisted fo 480 Acres, 2 miles west of the center of
Greenville, near the Kent County line.  E-7 Catherine Satterlee taught the
first school in Montcalm Co., where the city of Greenville, Michigan now
stands.

!NOTE: comments by Robert L. Satterlee, October, 1992: In 1867, on our
expedition to Montreal, Canada and return, we stopped in Greenville, Michigan,
and visited the cemetery there and saw a road named "Satterlee"
