MARY JEANNETTE (LOWING) BOSWORTH (43), the sixth child and first daughter of Isaac and Lavina Lowing, was born June 5, 1825, at Bethany, N.Y. She attended school, and her mother gave her training to meet the rugged life of pioneer women, carding, spinning, weaving, sewing, candle making, quilting, soap from lye and ashes.
She belonged to the Baptist Church in Bethany. She was eighteen when the family made the boat trip to Michigan, and was always proud of the fact, that in spite of the storms, she was not seasick. The family told how they padded the head and foot of their bunks to keep from becoming battered as their small ship plunged in the waves of the storms.
Her brother, Holden had written her glowing accounts of Michigan, that their new cabin was right on the State Road, but she found only a fallen tree at the edge of their clearing in the wilderness to indicate the future site of the road, and their lovely home in Michigan was but a 10 x 14 log cabin, with a loft, reached by a ladder.
