Dear Sir :
I had the pleasure of hearing, a few days ago, that
you had so far recovered your health, as to be able to walk
out; I was confined to my bed with a pain in my side, for sev-
eral days after I arrived at Franklin from Hartford; but have
in a great measure recovered. It is rumoured at this place,
that part of the Officers of the Army are to be disbanded;
should that be the case, I shall probably be one, as I am

from age, and long service, unable to take the field. I have
within a few days past made a contract with a Carpenter, to
build me a home, that is, to dig a Cellar 42 feet by 37, eight
feet in the clear, and Stone it, and put up a frame, and cover
and paint it, and build Two Stacks of Chimneys, with Nine
fire places, the house is to stand at the South end within two
feet of where the North end of the old home stood, there is
about two feet of earth on the Ground, and the remainder
Six feet is to be blown out of a Rock. I have been fourteen
years considering whether it is best to build, and have at
length concluded that a good home would be convenient,
and have Consequently concluded to build it on a Rock, in
preference to a Sandy foundation. The Cellar and out Side
of the house, and Chimneys, are to be completed by the 20 th
of next November, for which I am to pay Two Thousand
Dollars. I paid four Hundred on Signing the agreement,
and am to pay Two Hundred when the house is raised, and
two Hundred more when the Chimneys are completed, and
Twelve Hundred Dollars the 20 th of next November, when
the work is to be completed. The Carpenter finds all the
materials, except the Frame, which he is to cut on my land,
and pay me what it is worth standing in the woods. Please
to write and tell me whether I give the Carpenter too much,
and how you like the plan of the house. Please to make
my best respects to M rs Kingsbury, and family, and believe
me to remain,
With unfeigned Esteem
Your friend & Serv*

LETTER FROM MAJOR J. J. B. KINGSBURY.
Cantonment Brady,
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Ter.,
Sunday, Feb. 1, 1824.
My Dear Aunt:
When I left home if I mistake not I pledged
myself to give you an account of my journey to this or
6o 4 KINGSBURY GENEALOGY.
whatsoever place fate might direct me. From memory,
therefore (as I keep no journal), I shall barely say enough to
comply with my promise. On Friday, the 25th of July, 1823,
under the guidance of my brother John I took my departure
for N. Haven. The morning of this day, which was alter-
nately pleasant and disagreeable, I formed a just representa-
tion of the feelings of the inhabitants of W y towards
me. In many countinances regret at parting, with wishes
for my wellfare were evidently depicted, whilst in others
envy was shown, and in others a desire that some misfor-
tune might lower my head (which they imagined I carried
rather too high), discovered itself. The frowns and smiles
of the morning were succeeded by weather in the afternoon
which was unpleasant in the extreme. It rained incessantly,
nevertheless at Cheshire I called on Mrs. Brandin, and saw
George, who I am very sorry to say has failed very much, and
Parson Wood, and Mr. Linsley in Hamden. We arrived at
New Haven late in the evening and took our lodgings at
Morse's Hotel, where we found Holmes. I retired to my
room sick, having a high fever. On the morrow I called on
some of my friends, took a ride out of the city with friends
Holmes, Hayden, Nichols, and some students, among the
number was a son of the Hon. Noah Webster, returned
much refreshed, and took a packet in the evening for New
York, where I arrived after a very pleasant voyage on Mon-
day morning. I reported to Col. McCrea agreeably to my
orders, in company with friend Holmes, from whom we re-
ceived orders to join a detachment of recruits for the 5th
infantry (Hank Waters at St. Peters on the Mississippi),
which had sailed from there the day before under the com-
mand of Capt. Plimpton. Saw many friends during this
and the following day, on the afternoon of which we took
a voyage in the steamboat for West Point, arrived there the
same night. Being detained by my tailor I spent three days
very happily at the Point with my late commander, and
left the Point for Albany on Friday, the 1st of August, ar-
rived the next day about noon and remained four hours,
when I took a seat in the stage for Utica and arrived at
Schenectady the same evening, started very early the next
morning and arrived at Utica (Sunday, August 3rd). Our
OLD FAMILY LETTERS. 605
route lay through a delightful country. My fellow passen-
gers were very intelligent ; Col. Aaron Burr was of the
number. Utica is a very lively, pleasant, and thriving town.
At this place I joined my detachment and took the canal,
and left it at Rochester on the Sunday following, August
10th. Rochester is a very flourishing village, situated on
the Genessee river at the point where the canal crosses it.
Left Rochester on the 10th in the steamboat for Lewiston,
arrived on the 12th, and marched to Niagara Falls the same
day, and remained at the Falls four days for the purpose of
refreshing ourselves, and viewing the wonderful, sublime,
and beautiful scenery. Marched from the Falls to Buffalo
on Sunday the 17th, embarked in the steamboat Superior on
the following morning for Mackinaw, where we arrived on
the 24th. Our voyage up the Lakes was very pleasant. We
exchanged passengers at Erie, Painesville, Cleveland, and
Sandusky, Ohio. At this place I went on shore and trod the
soil of the State of Ohio. The scenery between Sandusky
and Detroit is truly picturesque. Detroit has been long
settled, and appears now to be very thriving. I had letters
which I had a good opportunity of delivering at this place,
as we stopped one night for the purpose of taking on wood
and procuring supplies, etc. From Mackinaw, having re-
mained three days there in company with Maj. Cutler, the
commander of this post, and his family and Lieut. Day, I
took my depature for this place in a boat. We were two
and one-half days on our route. At night we encamped on
shore. My love to all.
Very affectionately yours, J. J. B. Kingsbury.
My Dear Brother Charles :
This post is situated on the right bank of the St.
Mary's river, at the foot of the falls of the same, 25 miles
from Lake Huron, and 10 from Superior, in latitude 40 de-
grees and 30'. The mercury in the Thermometer has stood
this winter as low as 40 degrees below Zero. It is common
for it to stand as low as 30 degrees, but still I have suffered
as little with the cold as in any other in my life. So much

is man a creature of habit. Lt. West (?) of this command
explored the country between this post and Mackinaw in
the months of Nov. and Dec. last, and found it very swampy.
He succeeded, however, in marking- out a road which has
been traveled a number of times this winter, and found it
very advantageous, as it shortens the distance about one-
half. The distance is about 59 miles. The inhabitants are,
with a few exceptions, a despicable race, and a motley crew
of Canadians and Indians. J. B. K.

Cornwall, an apothecary in London at the sign of the
Three Fawns in the Old Bayley, and at the time of his death,
