Mable Hurlbut, with her husband, Wiram Grant, and their eight children, came from East Windsor, Conn. to Cana, where they embarked in a rude canoe, freighted also with their few household goods, and coasted around by Buffalo to Conneaut, where the landed. During this journey they camped on shore nights, securing the boat. One morning they were dismayed to find it had broken its moorings and drifted far in the lake, but a friendly wind returned it to them. After Mr. Grant's death, Mrs. Grant married John White of Windsor, whose first wife was Mary Higley. Mabel Hurlbut had two sisters, one Mrs. Rider of Austinburg, at whose home her sister Betsey was married to Thompson Higley, in April 1821, the day following taking her wedding tour, after a very heavy fall of snow, on the same horse with her husband to their home in Windsor. She was a very capable woman, a school teacher, and also a tailoress
