These photos show Ichabod and Harriet (Bronson) Pierce in the mid 1800's.

Ichabod Pierce moved to Chautauqua county in 1828 and married Harriet Bronson in December
of 1829. He bought a farm with a log house, to which they carried all their household goods by
ox sled.

Harriet Bronson had moved to Cherry Creek with her parents from Walworth, NY (east of Rochester). They traveled there (over 120 miles) by covered wagon pulled by two ox teams. Because roads were lacking at that time, they had to stop and chop down trees to get through.
