Alcance y contenido

The collection is a short, handwritten autobiography by Harrison Conger. Conger was born in Bangor, Franklin County, New York, but emigrated from there to Michigan in 1836. He wrote it in 1892. His autobiography recounts his travel across several waterways to reach Michigan and work done under several men before he settled down after marrying Deniza Ann Seeley in 1839. Conger offered few details regarding the work he did prior to and after he married Deniza. The marriage occurred at the intersection of where Kearsley Creek met the Flint River. Both later settled in Davison Township.
