They went down the river about eight miles and built some large bark and willow lodges on the northwest end of Grey Cloud island, where they lived and had their fields and gardens until the autumn of 1837. Two of their vacated lodges were occupied the next year, as before noted, by Mooers and Rob- ertson with their families, and the third one was used by them as a storehouse. In May, 1839, these men built two log houses, with stone chimneys, near the river, and they farmed a part of the gardens... and cornfields formerly cultivated by the In- dians. That year they raised potatoes, corn, and garden truck, some of which they sold at Fort Snelling for the use of the officers and troops ; and in 1840 they raised some grain on these fields and sold a part of it at the fort. These notes of early farming on Grey Cloud island were told to me by Mrs. Mary Brown, a daughter of Hazen Mooers, wife of John W. Brown, who was a half brother of the distinguished Joseph R. Brown. Their marriage was on this island, on New Year's day in 1846.
