Pilgrims and Pioneers: This Pioneer is Moving!

Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!

After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!

This Pioneer is Moving!

Yes we are leaving the house my husband's grandfather built. It is bittersweet for me. We have lived here for 12 years and the house is full of memories for my husband and full of history for me.
The house is made of stone that his grandfather dredged for a local creek making it unique in these parts.
That being said the house is disintegrating both inside and out. It need a new sewer system and with modern county guide lines there is no place to put one, among other things that are just too costly to do.

So we will be moving here:

It is bigger than it looks- 4 bedrooms, big kitchen, big living room and 2 full baths, a full basement and a den , 2 car garage and a double lot. Neighbors only on one side. I can still have a garden and with the double lot it won't feel so "townish" to me.

I am excited and a little sad at the same time.
