The original owner of Penfield township was Caleb Atwater who paid about $4,000 for the township of roughly 25,000 acres. He deeded the land to his six daughters and the wife of Judge Cook, with shares equitably divided among them.
A fragmented account describes Penfold and allied families migrating to new lands in the early 1800s. Major Sp mersous of Grafton aids the exodus, land clearing, and road construction toward Butternut Pike. The text notes land dealings, provisions, and settlement among the Senecas and local settlers, with references to Penfolds, Starrs, and neighbors.
The text recalls early settlement events near Lipan and nearby lands, noting deer hunting, turkeys, crops, and notable figures. It mentions Peter Pepheld born in Deieter and Ruth, wife of Tru lan Peotie, with Caroline Mirwin and De Samuel Strouse in 1805, plus the first church forming as a Presbyterian meeting that later became a Union Congregational church.
An old classified ad seeks a companion for Mrs Burton, promoting motherhood and companionship. It describes a desire for a caring partner, with references to domestic life and the bond between a husband and wife, presented in a dramatic, plea like voice.
The text lists 16th century religious groups including Methodists and Baptists and mentions multiple local deeds such as a fret school in a private house, a donation by Gideon Pentel east of the center, a route from Medipa to Nor walk, Penfield family mail collection, and the first post office in Cherowyshty with Truman Penfeld commissioned as the postmaster in 1811.
