Samuel Widener, Peter Widener, Henry Widener and Michael Widener
were soldiers of the Revolution serving in Pennsylvania and New Jersey Companies, and either were with Sullivan on his expedition
or learned of the Genesee Country from comrades. A Mr. Sheffer appears as one of the early settlers of Warren Co.,
N.J., from where the Wideners probably came. The Sullivan expedition without doubt was one cause of emigration.

...Henry Widener [p.31] and sons Henry, William and Daniel came about
the same time or shortly after the arrival of Leonard. Henry and Peter purchased land in the center of town, on or near the
Braddock's Bay Road. Jacob Widener and his brother Peter also came at this time and settled on Mill Creek, near the
present village of Clifton, where they purchased large tracts and built a mill, they were half-brothers of the second
Henry. Probably at about the same time John Kimball came with his family, Prudence Kimball, a daughter of John, having
married the second Henry Widener. Joseph Carey probably came at the same time and was the builder of the first mill
in town. Joseph Wood and family, Samuel Scott, Benjamin Bowen and Joshua Howell were among
the early settlers. James Chapman kept the first store in the town in the year 1807.
The early settlers came over the trail
from Geneva by way of Canadaigua to Avon and down the Genesee River. When the road from Canadaigua to Rochester was opened,
settlers came that way as being a much shorter route. The Kimballs, Wideners, Careys and Woodens, apparently came
from New Jersey about the same time. Wooden had married Sarah Widener in New Jersey and Carey married a sister of
the second Henry.
