Diary of Hannah Pierce, 1835 - 1873
Transcribed by M. Diana Davis
Journal of Hannah Pierce
(b. March 09, 1807 - d. January 01, 1873)
Compilers Notes: The Journal entries below were copied from Hannah's original writings by her niece, Luella R Pierce
(b. March 26, 1866 - d. November 1930). Luella copied the journal entries in longhand into 4 notebooks in 1925/26. I
have those 4 notebooks, and have typed/copied Hannah's journal into the format found below. Any spelling errors have
been left in the text; however, because I do not have the original writings, spelling errors may have been the result
of Luella's original copy, or not.
All of the birth and death dates for my own family (PIERCE, FIELD, CHENEY, DAVIS) referenced in Hannah's journal have
been verified through census records, bible records, birth and death records, etc., as have many of the other dates
for others mentioned in her journal; the names and dates listed below have been found to be accurate.
Hannah Pierce
Hannah Pierce was one of 6 children born to John Pierce (b. March 9, 1769 - d. October 6, 1862) and Deborah Field
(b. August 22, 1778 d. November 27, 1862 ). Four of these children lived to be adults:
1. Mary Pierce, b. September 28, 1798 d. October 21, 1825
2. William F. Pierce, b. November 29, 1802 d. September 1884
3. Hannah Pierce, b. March 9, 1807 d. January 1, 1873
4. Edward Pierce, b October 17, 1809 d. December 28, 1894
Hannah and her family were Quakers, (known as "Friends") as were most of their friends and neighbors, both in
New York and Michigan. Hannah was clearly educated, and involved in her community, but never married nor had
any children. She lived with her parents until they died, and then called "home", her brother Edward's farm
in Fairfield twp., Lenawee County MI. She lived with some type of illness that came upon her in her late twenties.
She does not specifically say what it was, but includes Headaches, Tiredness, and sometimes weeks in bed. Her
niece Luella refers to her in an end-note as "a great sufferer".
"FRIENDS" AND FAMILY NAMES
The Pierce Family were Quakers and Farmers, and therefore lived in just such communities. Hannah' parents, John
Pierce and Deborah Field, were married in 1797. Deborah Field's parents were William Field, and Hannah VanWyck.
John Pierce's parents were William Pierce and Deborah Field; they were married in the Chappaqua (Quaker-Friends)
Meeting House in Dutchess Co., NY.
At some point, John Pierce and Deborah Field moved to Madison Co., NY, and then to Williamson, NY. One of Deborah's
sisters lived there also, Catherine Field, who married John Underwood. All of John's children lived also in the
community: Mary Pierce, who married Isaac Webb in 1820, William Pierce who married Lydia Smith in 1825, Hannah
Pierce, and Edward Pierce, who married Emmeline Cheney in 1832.
In the Spring of 1836, John and Deborah Pierce, along with their children and their spouses, all moved to Palmyra
township, Lenawee Co., MI. They moved together with their Friends (Quaker) Society. That is, many of the families
that made up their Friends Society in Madison, NY, all moved to the same area in Michigan, at about the same time.
The other Quaker Families that belong to this Friends Society, and who moved from NY to MI included the families of:
Angel, Hoag, Dodge, Laign, Worth, Durfee, Gibbs, Irish, Walton, Clark, Smith, Jones, Pierce, Underwood.
In Palmyra MI, other Friends had already moved and founded the new Friends Society there. The spiritual leader of
this group was Jonathan Harned, and his sons. Others who had already moved and settled included: Buttle, Sackrider,
Secoy, Gardner, Titus, Lapham Mott, Crane, and Vanaken..
Hannah's Journal begins in January 1835, in Williamson, NY.

Thoughts on Spring.
When we contemplate the vicissitudes of the seasons, the order in which they
pass away and succeed each other and hot they are adapted to the comfort and
convenience of man, we are apt to be struck with admiration and say, how
wonderfull are the works of an All creating hand. Each successive season
affords us new pleasures and advantages, but for beauty spring far exceeds
them all. It appears more pleasant for comeing next in course after winter.
Especially if we have had a cold and dreary one. Where for a long the whole
face of nature has been clothed in her white robe, and scarcely any thing to
bee seen in the vegitable kingdom that has the appearance of life, save now
and then an evergreen tree in the forest.
After such a season as this, to see spring appear with all its charms is
truly pleasing. Then the buds expand and put forth their leaves, the fields
gradually put on their green apparrel, and the numerous blossoms prevent to
our view every variety of shape and couler. The whole creation seems to
wear a smile, and joyfully hails the return of spring. The innocent
playfull lambs skip and bound about the fields, and even the feathered tribe
appear engaged in praiseing their Creator by pouring forth their melodious
notes. Then let not man who is the noblest of all the works of God, be
behind the lower order of beings in recounting the joys of spring and
raiseing aspirations of praise and gratitude, to their Almigty Creator and
Preserver.

Farewell ye, my friends, and my once pleasant home,
Farewell ye gay scenes, where oft I did roam
No more can I see you, in beauty arriaved
Nor revisit the walks where in pleasure I've strayed
Yes friends, I now leave you, and may you be blest
Though I go to sojourn in the wiles of the west
Still thought will oft woar, and take a review
Of times that is past, of hours spent with you.
After leaving home and making several calls we arrived at Palmira
about 12 o'clock, took dinner at William Patriages. About 3 o'clock
went on board the Greenville, James Whitney, master, and 60 passengers.
17th Time passed on quite agreably until we came to prepare bed last
night, there was 35 women and children lodged in the cabbin (if
it may be called lodgeing). I then thought if I were at home I
would like to remain there. Got to Rochester early in the morning,
left a number of passengers, and took a few more, passed through
Brockport about noon, at Holly took on board Elisa Franklin and her
2 children. She is an agreable passenger and at presant the only
female besides our company.
18th All well and in good spirits this morning, had a good nights rest on
getting up this morning. Found ourselves in Middleport, soon after passed
through Royalton. Got to Lockport at 10 o'clock. Walked up in the village
to view the scenery around, here we can see much of the works of art displayed,
but as for the works of nature, I cannot say much in praise of its beauty.
4 o'clock passed through Tondawanda village. Got to Black-rock about sunset.
9 in the evening got to Buffalo, the Captain has concluded to let our company
stay on the boat to night.
19th Put our goods on board the Charles Townsend, Captain Fox, commander.
Took a walk up in the city but returned at the first ringing of the bell.
Took seat on the upper deck, pensively observing what was passing around me.
How grand, how sublime the scenery then appeared, the city in view, the
harbour filled with splendid boats, the lake smooth except a little ruffle
to the water. At 9 o'clock the bell rang for the last time, which summoned
all the passengers on board the boat, where for the presant we expect will
be the prisioned homes of several hundred. I had not one solitary friend
to part with at Buffalo, but I saw others taking leave of each other which
reminded me that but few days since I had parted with friends and a place I
once could call my home. And as we set sail I silently said, Farewell,
Farewell to my native country. I am now bound for a distant land, yet not
knowing that I shall ever reach its shores, perhaps some calamitous event may
take place which will consign us to a watery grave, where we must lie
buried beneath the rolling billows. Gladly would I have returned to
some lone grove, where for a short time I might roam unseen, but this is not
my privilege, I might be surrounded by people of different nations and
different classes, all calculated to attract ones attention, and I could not
indulge my self in those melancholy reflections. I soon fanished them from
my presence and resumed by wanted gaity.
It is now nearly noon. The sun shines with all its splendor, the
lake appears beautifull, and at presant every countenance bespeaks happiness
while Erie's proud waves are wafting us on towards our destined port.
20th 9 o'clock passed through Dunkirk, called at Van Buren. Made a short
call at Fairport on grand river. 12 o'clock called at Cleaveland. 2
evenings at Port Huron. Cannot be landed at Toledo until we have been at
Detroit.
21st 6 o'clock in the morning, are in Detroit river, the prospects is
indeed beautifull on the Canada and Michigan shores. Stoped at Fort Malden
to take on wood. It is a small place and has the appearance of age.
Arrived at Detroit about 10 this morning. Walked out to have a view of the
City this afternoon. There appears to be considerable business done here,
many elegent buildings to be seen, as well as some very ancient, went on
board a schooner bound for Chicago. Returned to our boat found it almost
emptied, sweept and garnished, most of the passengers were to be landed at
Detroit, and have now left the boat. Among them all we could see people of
different nations and of almost every class. Among the company was three
Indian young men, from Mackinaw, had been to Washington on business and were
returning home. Their features and complexions were like Indians, but they
were dressed in as good fashion as any gentlemen on board, and their
behaviour full as decorous. There was a young woman who when I first saw
her, attracted my attention. She started from Buffalo, there was a family
came down to the dock with her. They were not Americans probably Swiss.
Their parting was a vary hearty one, then a young man excorted her to the
upper deck, bade her a last farewell and returned, as the boat left the
shore they all gave a parting signal. It was some time before she became
composed. I then thought if an opportunity should present I would endeavor
to become a little acquainted with her history. At length I happened in her
company, and after making observations on the scenery which then presented
itself to our view, I observed to her that she appeared to be traveling
alone, and enquired her place of destination. She told me she was going to
her friends living near Detroit, that she had been living 2 years in Buffalo
with a family to whom she had been vary much attached and was worry to part
with them although she was going to relatives. I did not like to be to
inquisitive so I made no further enquiry about the young man or the family
she had parted with.
22nd I must give a little description of the stile we took tea and
breakfast in Detroit, as well as our nights lodgeing. It was so damp and
unhealthy on deck, we went down in to the steerage cabbin to sleep. It had
been cleaned and was nice. They made the beds up in the berths. My bed was
in the third story, and when I got there it was like to come down so most of
us made them on the floor and slept vary well after all our trouble. For
tea we spread chests together for a table made our tea and put our victuals
on it, we had quite a variety considering all things and a good appetite
made our repast sweet. Our breakfast was about the same with the addition
of a dish of coffee. In such stile as this we have lived most of the time
since we came on the water. Some could find a seat others stand up, some
drinking tea out a tea cup another a tin cup. Once have an earthan plate
another a tin dish. &c forth&c on. 7 o'clock in the morning, the bell is
ringing. The passengers are scrabling on board and we are about to leaved
the far famed Detroit.
12 o'clock are now in sight of Monroe.
3 o'clock arrived at Toledo, found a wagon going to Whiteford, about
12 miles, which would carry some of us, so we set out, well loaded and
crowded, got to Ira Aldrich's late in the evening.
23rd Engaged the same team to carry us to Adrian. After leaving
Whiteford, went through a swamp 6 miles long with a few inhabitants, and
worst road I ever saw. Then found a few acres of dry land where was a sort
of tavern. Then went through Cottonwood swamp, which is said to be 6 miles
long, but I should think from the distance there might be 5 quarters to 1
mile. Stoped to Blissfield to feed the horses and refresh ourselves, went
through the Palmyra, and Leroy, both new villages springing up in the woods.
Nearly night when we got to Adrian in the township of Logan, County
of Lenawee, to Uncle John Underwood's. Found their family well and met with
several old acquaintances.
24th Are glad find a resting place to day, for we are all more than half sick.
25th to 28th Got a load of goods and a room at Rebecca Pratts and commenced keeping
house again. Had Elizabeth Underwood and Charlotte Webb to take tea with us.
29th to 30th Had venison for dinner to day, the first I had ever eaten.
31st Uncle and Aunt Underwood made us a visit to day.

Evening Thoughts.
The approach of eve whispers aloud,
Now is the time for pensive thought,
The hour that man retires to rest,
And natures is to stillness brought.
I need not retire to a moonlit bower
But will recline on the window my weary head
Here I can muse on the various scenes
And admire the wonders around me spread.
The western sky all tinged with red
Transparent clouds exalt the scene
The arch of Heaven and all around
Appears majestic and scerene.
And next the rising moon appears
To cheer the darkness with her light
To describe her destined course around
During the gloomy hours of night.
How mighty, and how wondrous too
Those works which are performed on high
Those spacious orbs which suspended hang
In the broad open space of sky.
No lofty pillers support them there
Man with all his art cannot them controll
The hand that formed them, keeps them there
Within their proper bounds to roll.
Almost three months have winged their way
Since we a little cheerfull band
Set out to seek our fortunes
In this far distant land.
Honor we did not expect
Riches we could not find
So we have no treasures but those we imported
An honest fame and a contented mind.
Here we are settled on a small plantation
Whose circumference is easily bounded
Still I think we augh not to complain
While with blessings we are surrounded.

2nd Attended the funeral of Sarah Hunt this afternoon. Thought while
standing at her grave, she being the first one buried in the new burying
yard.
To day we dedicate this spot
A dwelling for the dead
A resting place for moral man
A place to lay the clay cold head.
We are now assembled to consign
Unto the silent dust
The remains of one whose spirit’s gone
Unto the Lord, we trust.
Her lifeless form must now be laid
Here in this linely grave
Yet soon there may be spread around
The remains of the young and brave.
Perhaps some one now standing near
This solomn scene to view
May ere many days pass by
Be called to bid all things adieu.
Let each one think it may be me
Let such reflections be instilled
But may many years roll on
Before this vacant ground is filled.

Thoughts on the past, the present, and the future. How natural and pleasant it is to take
a retrospective view of by gone days, of time that will no more return.
Memory will long hold dear the scenes of our childhood, and the companions of our early days.
The ties of friendship that bind those who have spent the playfull hours of youth togather are
not easily broken. They then can taste of unalloid pleasures, and for the most part drink
of a cup unmixed with care or sorrow, but we can not say so of our after life. For within the
interveil of a few short years, we see and experiance many sad changes, at one time we are blest
with the smiles of fortune, at another we receive its frowns, on one day we are enjoying the
blessing of health, and on the next our frail bodys have become a prey to disease.
Our tempers are alike uneven, we are apt to be elated by prosperity and depressed by adversity,
we do not receive the favours and frowns of Providence with evenness and composure.
How often does imagination soar ahead and picture to our minds many dreams of happyness
for succeeding years, but our anticipations are seldom realized, for some blast of misfortune
mars our real enjoyment or blight the fair vision of our fancy. Such are the changes incident
to this life. The presant time only is ours, the future we have no assurance of, yet there is
a never ending eternity awaytine us when the soul shall be unclothed of its mortal robe.

Ah! cruel death, thy conquering hand,

To thy dread scepter had to bow.
The grave is now her low retreat
No more can weeping friends surround her
As when the parting was said
When death's dark angel found her.
But happy soul, her rest is come
For her we need not mourn
But for ourselves and those little ones
To whom she can never more return.
She has bid adieu to this lower world
And found a reffuge in the skies
Fondly to roam with angels there
And taste the joys of Paradise.
And shall we hope to see her more
When onward rolls a few more years
Yes, may the mourners and the mourned
Meet far beyond this vale of tears.

The fading Rose Tree.
How changed is the scene of this beautifull Rosetree
But late so gay and blooming, now sickly leaves I can see
There is one rose remaining, tis but a faded gem
All its sister companions are on the eve of decay
They have shed their perfumes and are wasteing away
Scarce a vestage of their former beauty doth reamin
They have gone like the lovely, by the hand of time slain,
They lie scatered and withered neath the branches the bare them
And to what but corruption, now can I compare them
They have surely been pleasant and usefull in their day
But for this end were they made, they were destined to decay.
And so is frail man no art can he desire
That will stay the hand of death, for soon or late he dies
Our lives at most are short, and compared unto a day
Health may forsake, and vigorous youth soon pass away
Dust must return to dust, and in the house of day he lain
But the immortal past, the silent grave cannot contain.

29th Feeling rather sober this evening, and wising to indulge in some
pensive reflections, I think I can best do so by letting my thoughts wander
back to years long gone by and compare them with those of a more recent date,
and whilst lingering to survey the past, the winter of 1824-5, seened particularly
to interest my presant feelings. Then the blessing of health I could call mine.
Early that spring we moved from Madison Co. to Waine (St. of N.Y.) Then fancy
soared aloft and I pictured to myself many years of health and happiness, but
imaginary enjoyments are seldom realized, this I found true by dear experience,
for disease soon made me its prey and has been my almost constant companion
since that time, but I wish not to complain, or think the path described for me
to walk in to rugged, since so many are not only deprived of the blessing of health,
but of most of the comforts of life also.

There must always be something in circulation to keep the public mind
active and the busy tongue from being idle, and last of all, the girls of
Adrian have tried whipping their minister. He had talked rather harshly
to some of them as they thought, and with the assistance of the young men
(no doubt) they took this way to show there resentment, and gave him a few
cuts with a whip as he was going to meeting. It is rather new as
well a novel performance, but as it leap-year, we must make great
allowance, for the girls are more highly priviledged.

For another victim it has made
A lovely flower has been cut down
Like tender grass in early morn

Then soon the little precious gem
Was plucked from off its parcut stem
And called to ascend above the skies
To shine with the stars in Paradise.

to mourn her early fate.
"My heart is pained my a solemn sound"
that clearly says Maria is gone.
Yes, she, to whom we were closely bound
We now have to bemoan.
But can we wish her peace to mar
Though nature shrinks and holds her dear
Yet reason says she is better far
Than to be held in suffering here.
She had long been deprived of health
But her noble mind did not despair.
She hoped ere long to regain that wealth
And in life's joys one more to share.
But dire disease made her its prey
And naught her life could save.
It brought her low with unbending sway
A subject for the grave.
When death's cold hand each tie did sever
That bound her closely here
And bade her part with friends forever
Till joined again in another sphere.
Then her gentle spirit soared above
To realms of clearest light
To partake of pure celestial love
Of cheer and calm delight.
Where ransomed souls always rejoice
And glorious anthems raise
Charmed by their great Creator's voice
And ceaseless chant his praise.

from her heavenly Father's table. Commending her husband and children
dear to the protecting care of an all wise creator. Who she trusted
would care for his afflicted ones, and now amidst our great reason
for regret, our needful sorrowing for her departure from life we have
this great consolation that our loss is her infinite gain, feeling
well assured that she has gone to receive the rich rewards of well doing. Or
a life well spent of usefulness, and what more can we ask than to be
found worthy of meeting her on Cananus happy Shores where the now tear
moistened eyes will have no cause to shed the pearly drops, and feeling hearts

8th, 9th Mo. 1847.
Again I must take my pen and endeavor to record some of the trials through
which we have had to pass, for the hand of affliction has fallen heavily on
us of late, disease most dire has attacked our family, and two of our number
have fallen victims to the all destroying hand of Death. Yes, sister Emeline
and her lovely babe have gone to their final rest, and though their body's lie
in the silent grave, there to mingle with kindred dust, still their spirits
unencumbered of all the frailties of our nature have soared to the realms of
light, where peace is known without alloy, where mother and babes are alike enjoying
in boundless love. When reflecting I am often almost lost in thought, and acclaim
mentally, impossible, it cannot be so, but am soon awakened to a consciousness of
its sad reality, in the death of sister Emeline we experience an irreparable loss,
she was ever the kind and faithful friend, performing the duties of active life with
a feeling heart, and a cheerful countenance, she was truly benevolent and possessed a
mild forgiving disposition. Our loss is indeed great, but her gain is far
greater, her once tearful eyes can no more give vent, or suppress the pearly
drops, she can no more experience the anguish of mind, and the various
trials which beset us here on every side, her rest is come, she has
finished her is now gone from works to reward and as her death was like her
life, calm and peaceful, her reward is no doubt life eternal, her days have
been well spent and full of usefulness, living in peace with all, she had
many friends and but few enemies, her memory will long be cherished by those
who knew her worth
7th Daniel Angel been here sick yesterday, gone home now.

Seymor West lost his child about 3 weeks since and now his wife. How
fleeting are the things of earth, how uncertain is life, but a few short
weeks ago many who were them taking an active part on the stage of life,
are now slumbering in Death's long dreamless sleep.
14th Jason Angel has buried their babe to day.
15th Had a hard frost for two nights past. Rebecca Pratt been here.
21st Eliza Jane Pierce staid here last night.
Days work, though her sun has set in its meridian splendors and I
doubt not but she is reaping the rewards of the fruitful as she expected she
should soon be at rest with the Lord, and when visuring her corpse as well as
that of Louese and the babe, I thought, how lovely, yes, lovely in
death for there was a sweet expression of countenance, a heavenly smile
that rested on the features, tho motionless and bound in the icy arm of death.
Emeline died on the 1st of the last mo., being sick 8 days. The babe died on
the 13th with 6 days sickness.

away by a consumption, and yesterday afternoon his gentle spirit was freed
from the fetter that bound it to earth, from the tenement it had inhabited
for about 24 years. His morning sun has now set, ere it had verged near its
meridian height, his mild unvarying disposition made him a pleasant and
profitable companion for his young associates, as well as for those more
advanced in life, and though young and amiable and highly deserving the
esteem every one had for him, he was also a well prepared subject for becoming
an inhabitant of the pure regions of bliss, where with the eyes of
imagination we may behold his beautified spirit, as a radiant form
rejoicing in the presence of the King Heaven, and Prince of Peace.

neverending bliss, and during a painfull illness he manifested meek
submission and christian fortitude, and when each endeavoring tie, that
bound him so closely to earth, was about being severed, he calmly bade his
weeping relatives a last farewell, and quietly closed his eyes in death, in
