  • Notes 
    • "After his marriage he settled in Shutesbury, where he remained about three years, then lived in Amherst one year, and returned to Shutesbury. In the fall of 1830 he moved West with his family. They went to Troy, N. Y., by wagon, thence to Rochester by canal, thence by wagon to Olean Point where they took a raft and floated down the river to Pittsburg. They went from Pittsburg to Chester, Ill., by steamboat, and thence to Springfield, Ill., where he arrived Feb. 18, 1831, and there settled. This was the winter of the 'deep snow,' and when Mr. Conant arrived at Springfield the snow was four feet deep." [A History of the Conant Family in England and America,citation details below.]
