The tale of this story is as interesting as the Davison family he found here. He had made a friend in Savannah that was corresponding with a girl who had placed a note in a bottle and tossed it into the river. He persuaded Granville to accompany him on this 80-100 mile trip on horseback to see her. When they finally reached Sydney, IA she was a "he" and 'it was all in fun just to see what would happen'. While on their journey and return they stayed at Isaac Pike Davidson's farm home for a night of food and lodging. It was all countryside and open prairie in those days and it was custom of passers-through to stop at the Davidson's for food and shelter. The old stage coach used to come up from St Joseph Mo on the east side of the river, by the Davidson Farm and on north-eastward through Hawleyville. Shortly after this he returned and built a little general store, before there was a town. He hauled all of his supplies overland by team. Of course, he married the farmers' daughter Susan Davidson on 1 Jun 1856; that he met on that trip to Sydney, IA.
