They lived in Sect. 6 of Buena Vista Twp. Anson was among the first to serve in the county on the petit jury at the October 1849 term of Court. There is an interesting newspaper article about their son Simon. There is a Prouty Road near Concord, OH, about 3 1/2 miles south of Painesville, OH, Route 44. He died of cholera en route to Calif. pg 379B, 1850 census.
  http://www.muskingum.edu/~rmunkres/life/Bidwell-Bartleson.html In mid-June of 1852, Richard Owen Hickman "arrived at Sweetwater on Friday last. . .(and) found a company there from Iowa." In this company it seems that a man named Prouty had been instrumental in a husband and wife separating. The couple was brought back together through the conciliation efforts of members of their party. And the fate of Mr. Prouty, the cause of the temporary disaffection? "On yesterday (June 18th)", Mrs. Hickman reported, "this old Prouty. . .was seized with the cholera and died and was buried at Devil's Gate."
