In
1872 Henry Pelton wrote down his memories of Warwick, as it was
|
|
|
when
he arrived in 1805, which included a sketch of who lived
|
|
|
where
and other memories of the area.
|
|
|
As
we look at the map created from his descriptions by Elizabeth Van
|
|
|
Duzer
we can see:
|
|
|
| • |
Roads
of the colonial era are still recognizable today.
|
|
| • |
There
was a significant population already in the Town (3,747 in
|
|
|
1790)
|
|
| • |
Environmental
features such as stream beds were already being
|
|
|
changed;
the swampy areas of the Wawayanda Creek were already
|
|
|
proving
a source of health problems. Memories of Native Americans
|
|
were
being carried forward in oral tradition, but were often
|
|
|
fragmentary.
