New - Map of Indian Paths, in Pennsylvania and Central New York
In the 2008 Cradle to Grave reunion paper, Frank Disinger states that after immigrating to America Barthel Deissinger farmed in Berks County, PA, about 30 miles east of the Susquehanna River. By 1792, he had moved to Loysville, Cumberland County, PA, west of and bordering the Susquehanna River. Nicolaus Deissinger's oldest sons, John and Thomas, moved to Seneca County, NY, between Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake in 1804 and 1805. It turns out Nicolaus and his brother William, having served in the American Revolution, were likely aware of the former Indian land in Seneca County, New York, and the Indian trails that led to it (see Sullivan Expedition). In 1813, Nicolaus also moved his family to Seneca County. Nicolaus' youngest son, David Deissinger, was the first to move to Royalton, NY, followed by Thomas and George. George and David served together in the War of 1812 near Fort Erie and Niagara Falls. Thomas eventually left Niagara County and moved to Ohio between 1830 and 1840. George and David stayed in Royalton. Nicolaus and John remained in Seneca County. They seemed willing to relocate often, regardless of being limited to just horses and wagons.
The red line above follows the Susquehanna River from Cumberland County, PA, to Owego, NY (originally Ah Wa Ga), which was a major Indian trail called the Great Warrior's Path. The blue line represents another Indian trail, starting in Owego and passing through Seneca County, NY (Library of Congress, Map of Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee-Ga). The yellow line approximately follows a Mohawk Indian trail that passed through Batavia and Royalton, ending in Lewiston/Youngstown, NY (now Rt. 77, see below).
So, almost certainly, when Nicolaus Deissinger and his sons moved to Seneca County and then to Niagara County, NY, they were not just randomly trekking across wild, unknown lands. Due to their military service in the American Revolution and the War of 1812, they were familiar with the Indian trails and the destinations. The Indian trails would have helped facilitate their moves. Not that it would have been easy, the trails were presumably narrow and hard to pass at points. And they still had to ford various streams and creeks. They may have needed help crossing the river at Owego due to its size, possibly with a crude rope or chain ferry. Also, Thomas Dessinger almost certainly followed the major Indian trail along Lake Erie for his move to Ohio.

New - Map of Northwestern Ohio (Route 18), Michigan, and Indiana
Thomas Deissinger, son of Nicolaus Deissinger, was born in Pennsylvania and moved from Seneca County, New York, to Royalton, New York, and finally to Seneca County, Ohio, a total of some 550 miles by horse and wagon. Thomas and many of his descendants lived on or near Route 18 (its current name) in northwestern Ohio. Some of them relocated to nearby Michigan and Indiana. Some of the (great) grandchildren later moved further west and south, but not back to New York or Pennsylvania. One of Thomas' daughters, Susan (Deissinger) Long, stayed and farmed in Lockport on Dysinger Rd.

Royalton School District No. 16 schoolhouse was on Johnny Cake Rd/Lincoln Ave Ext. just north of Bulmore Rd near the upper left corner of the 1908 map above. Bernard's home was between Bulmore Rd. and Hollenbeck Rd on Johnny Cake Rd around 1/6 mile from the schoolhouse. Many Disinger children and cousins lived near this school at various times. (see below) Siblings Estley, Perry, Harry, Clarence, Bernard, and Elwyn Truax (who may have also been in the photo) likely all attended the same one-room schoolhouse shown above. Bernard was age 11/12 in the photo and likely in 7th grade with one grade left.

note- Of the roughly 30 children, about 13 were Dysinger cousins. Chauncey Dysinger was 22 years old and still in school, which was allowed, at times, for older students. For example, Frank Disinger wrote that he took postgraduate high school classes after he graduated because he was too young to work at Harrison Radiator. All these children lived within 3/4 of a mile from the school and walked to school each day until they typically finished eighth grade. This recital program must have taken more than an hour to complete.

J. Frantz Jacob Frantz, house demoed
note- While it may not seem clear from the map above, on the 1852 map (see above) you can locate John Frantz's farm on Keck Rd. (Mrs. D. Frantz's on the map above) and John Deacon Disinger's former farm on Bulmore Rd. John Frantz was Nicolaus Deissinger's grandson-in-law and John Deacon Disinger was Nicolaus's grandson meaning that their 12 children were all second cousins living within 1/2 mile of each other. School No. 6 is on the map above just west (left) of the Dutch (not German) Reformed Lutheran church. John Deacon Disinger's farm was on the border of School District No. 6. Therefore all 12 cousins may have attended the same one-room schoolhouse. (see photo below)
On the 1875 Royalton map (see above), just 1/2 mile east of John Deacon Disinger's farm was E(dward) and Lydia (Disinger) Behe's farm with another 7 more cousins that may or may not have attended the same school since they were closer to School District No. 16 instead. Remember all these students had to walk to school so even a fraction of a mile made a difference. This means it's likely that Jacob Frantz and Samuel Disinger attended the same school as Aaron Disinger, George and Edward Behe, and Daniel Frantz. They were all well acquainted with each other before they were adults.
Checking the 1908 map above Jacob Frantz inherited at least part of his father John Frantz's farm as did Daniel Frantz. Samuel Disinger also inherited some of his father John Deacon Disinger's farm. And because they hadn't essentially moved, all of their 16 children who were also cousins attended the same one-room schoolhouses their parents had if they bothered to attend.
1950 photo of the cobblestone one-room schoolhouse, Lockport School District No. 6, located on Akron Road east of Lockport. See the 1908 Town of Lockport Map above. District No. 6 included the homes of John and Jacob Frantz, and John "Deacon" and Samuel Disinger so their children would have attended school here.

note- There are 2 properties on this map, one labeled Edwin Dysinger on John Deacon Disinger's former property and the other labeled W. E. Dysinger on George Disinger II's former property. George Disinger II had a son named Warren Edwin Dysinger, but he moved to Silver Lake, NY, before 1899 and died in 1931. John Deacon Dysinger had a grandson named W. Elwin Dysinger, who was locally active and reportedly owned 200 acres of land. The property labeled Edwin Dysinger could have been a mistake that should have been W. Elwin. Together, the 2 properties add up to nearly 200 acres, which is what W. Elwin reportedly had. It appears W. Elwin likely owned both properties. Several times his name was mistakenly given as Edwin in newspaper pieces about his political activities after 1931. W. Elwin also apparently owned his great-grandfather George Disinger's former farm and stone house. In Mar. 1898, he tried to sell it, and by 1908, he may have rented it to Miss E. Singer (see the 1908 map above). We don't know whether he sold it then or not, but by 1910, Melanchton Dysinger was renting it, and by 1942, Melanchton's widow, Cora (Mills) Dysinger, had purchased it (see map above).

Do these houses look similar?
The design of the houses below was influenced by area carpenters who likely shared plans and learned from each other. The William Bond house built in 1823 (see below) is nearly identical to them, especially the brick houses, but even the wood houses have a similar layout. Brick houses, of course, cost more to build and were worth more.

Col. William Bond House
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal NIAGARA DISCOVERIES: Col. William Bond House By Ann Marie Linnabery May 13, 2023 - Col. William Bond House, 143 Ontario St., Lockport - Bond built a three-story brick home on Ontario Street in 1823, the first of its kind in Lockport. The bricks were manufactured right on the property. In the National Register Report from 1995, the house is described as a “late Federal/early Greek Revival style,” an example of the architectural transition in the 1820s away from the four-square houses of New England in the Early Republic years to the gabled and columned homes of the 1830s into the 1850s. Bond’s new house contained elements of both styles. It contains a hall, parlor, dining room, study and kitchen on the first floor, five bedrooms on the second floor, and three bedrooms on the third floor.

These are all the Dysinger/Disingers cousins (more than 60) in 1880 within a 2-mile radius centered around George Disinger's stone hotel essentially Dysinger's Corner. They are all George's children but without John Deacon who died in 1878, David and Jacob who likely died as children, Daniel and Andrew who moved to Michigan, and Albert who also moved to Michigan and then Iowa. Many of them are George's grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The children attended Niagara County rural district one-room schoolhouses: Schoolhouse No. 16 on Johnny Cake Rd/Lincoln Ave Ext (see above), Schoolhouse No. 13 on Akron Rd, and possibly Schoolhouse No. 9 on Bunkerhill Rd. For school past 8th grade the student had to travel to Lockport.
On Sunday they attended either the Baptist Church on Akron Rd at the time or the Methodist Episcopal Church on Royalton Center Rd. There were other nearby churches, for example, the Lutheran Church on Akron Rd and the Lutheran churches in Wolcottsville.
They could have gone to McNall's Corner or Wolcottsville for store goods. Further away was Gasport and Lockport for more stores. Mail had to be picked up at local post offices; one was in Dysinger's Corner.
Rural doctors made house calls but the doctor could take a long time to reach the patient. Hospitals weren't available before 1900 unless the patient traveled to Buffalo, NY.

To the south of the Lutheran church, opposite C. F(ranklin) Disinger's location to the east on Wynkoop Rd. is a property labeled W. Shaffer. According to an 1875 map, this property was previously owned by Charles Wynkoop who died in 1898. Lacking an immediate family of his own, the bearers at his funeral were his long-time neighbors Samuel and Aaron Dysinger sons of John Deacon Disinger, George and Edward Behe sons of Lydia (Disinger) Behe, and Jacob and Daniel Frantz sons of C. Elizabeth (Disinger) Frantz, three pairs of second cousins.
