"In 1830, the family sailed for Canada in a small sailing vessel. They were six weeks on the water becoming lost among the icebergs of the North Atlantic Ocean. Rations became low and they were fearful of ever reaching land. They originally settled in Winona, then in Bartonville, moving to Binbrook about 1834 and settled on L3, C3, B3, one-half mile was of the village in a log house." (Exerpt from History and Heritage of Binbrook, 1979).
