Rebecca gave the following account of the trip from Dutchess Co, NY to Silver Creek, NY to E. May Christy: "...came from Dutchess County, NY 1835 via the Erie Canal as far as Black Rock. Here we had to go ashore on the ice and walk to Buffalo. Buffalo had just been burned and we went to see the ruins. Came from Buffalo with horse and wagon. The trip took 17 days. Irving was a mud-hole then and Silver Creek called Fayette."
