(xvi) to keep one shoat or hog which, at his father's expense, shall be "slopped" and grain fed from his father's grain. At this point in time, William Cavender was 21 years of age, newly married and, by all reasonable standards, apparently paid quite a high price for not being able to otherwise raise the money necessary to purchase the farm and homestead from his father. William Cavender next moved in about 1834 to Medina Township, Lenawee County, Michigan when he was about the age of 40 and where he purchased the Canandaiqua Mills property also about 1834 and where he still later married an English lady whose surname was Hawkins, finally married a Close, died on either April 16, 1848424 or on April 16, 1845384 & 386 at the age of 54 in Canadaigua, Lenawee County, Michigan or in Caledonia Michigan from blood poisoning after stepping on a thorn while fencing the barm, and is buried in the Canandaiqua Cemetery in Canandiqua, Michigan.384 & 424 Betsy Gregg was born July 25, 1793 in either Greenfield, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire424 or in Antrim, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire417, was the daughter of Hugh Gregg who was a U.S. Cavalryman in the War of 1812, died April 10, 1824, and is buried in the Greenfield Cemetery in Greenville, New Hampshire. Although land had been purchased from the Indians, surveyed, and made available to settlers in 1818, the Michigan territory was slow to be settled, in contrast to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Southern Michigan land was swampy, almost impassable in rainy season, so there were no roads. It was the completion of the Erie Canal, opened in 1825, which brought Michigan within the sweep of the westward movement of American settlement. With the Erie Canal open, the settlers could travel by canal boat to Buffalo, change there to a steamer to cross Lake Erie, and disembark at Detroit or Monroe. The cost was one cent per mile per passenger, two cents if the boat company provided food, and five cents for an "express" boat that traveled day and night. The "express" boat could travel 100 miles in a 24 hour day, as much as an imigrant wagon could travel in a week and much more comfortable. The first land office for the sale of government land was opened in 1818 in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan and a second land office was opened in Monroe in 1825. Land was sold at auction, the smallest tract being 640 acres and, after 1820, was $1.25 per acre. Lenawee County, Michigan was organized in 1826. The Erie Canal and the Great Lakes furnished the principal channel of emigration to Michigan, though a considerable portion is diverted at particular seasons by the land route through Canada on the southern shore of Lake Erie. In 1833, Samuel Gregg, the brother of Betsy Gregg, having come to Michigan, was so pleased with the land that he wrote to his brother-in-law, William Cavender, a glowing description. William Cavender visited Michigan in August of that year, and selected land at that time. Samuel Gregg built a log house on the land that was purchased by William Cavender and moved his family there and commenced keeping a tavern which apparently had sleeping accomodations. The Gregg house stood in the site of the present public house in the village of Canandiqua. This house was the headquarters for land-lookers in the northern part of Medina. Burns Cavender, for two dollars per day, would show the available government land. In the fall of 1835, the first school was built on the farm of William Cavender. William Cavender bought the land which was the site of the Canandiqua Mills, and commenced building a saw mill which first sawed lumber on April 12, 1836. In 1837, Michigan became a State and in the same year, the population of Lenawee County was 14,540. During the summer of 1836, meetings were held in William Cavender's barn which was built in the spring of 1836. The first sermon was preached in town on September 1835. William Cavender built the first frame barn in town in 1836.
