EARLY RENSSELAER COUNTY "SNOW BIRDS". The last 50 years of the 19th
century, my great-great-grandmother Olive Stone
BIGELOW ROBINSON (widow of Dr. Dewey Hubbell ROBINSON) lived in Troy,
Rensselaer Co, NY with her sister Emma Lorraine BIGELOW SQUIRES (wife
of John N. SQUIRES, Vice-President of United Shirt & Collar Company).
For several years prior to the Civil War, the sisters and their children
traveled annually from Troy by "packet steamer" to New Orleans, and then
up the Mississippi River about 100 miles to Woodville, Wilkinson County,
MS, where they spent the winters, returning to NY in the spring. One year,
for some unknown reason, my great-grandfather decided not to return, and
stayed in MS! I am trying to find out some of the travel details of these
early "snow birds" and hope there is someone in Rensselaer County who may
know something about such activities. Surely, there were others who made
similar journeys! Would love to hear from anyone with a bright idea.
