In the spring of 1798 Friends of Philadelphia sent three young men to labor as missionaries among the Indians on the Alleghany Reservation, in Cattaraugas Co., N.Y., and Joel Swayne was one of these. On their first journey they went by way of Pittsburg to the first place of settlement, called by the Indians Genesinguhta. Afterward they removed to a permanent settlement, Tunesassa. In subsequent journeys to and from Philadelphia they went by way of Ceres, where Joel became acquainted with Mary King.
To accomplished their marriage at a Friends' Meeting they rode on horseback to Muncy, ninety miles from Ceres.
After marriage he gave up the missionary work and subsequently bought a farm of about 80 acres near Centre Meeting, and for many years engaged in the nursery business.
The farm was lately owned by his grandson, Judge Charles Swayne. Guyencourt Station is near the middle of the farm.
