- Of Jesse, Walter G Thrall wrote in his 1862 book Genealogy of Walter G Thrall... "When the writer was emigrating from Vermont to Ohio, in 1815, he called on his uncle, Jesse Miller, in Canandaigua, who stated that when he was about to move from Granville, Massachusetts, to Canandaigua, which was then far in the backwoods, his wifeÂ’s friends complained that he was about to take their sister into the wilderness, so far from civilization, that they could never hear from her, and where she could never go to church, &c.; but; said he, in a few years (in 1805) they moved four hundred miles further into the wilderness, to Granville. Ohio."
