Description:Excerpt from Combined History of Schuyler and Brown Counties, Illinois: With Illustrations, Descriptive of Their Scenery, and Biographical Sketches of Some of Their Prominent Men and Pioneers The publishers desire to return their sincere thanks to those who have aided in making this work thorough and complete. For the incidents relative to the early settlements of the two counties, we are indebted to a few early pioneers, who have seen a wild, frontier country develop into a wealthy and populous community, and for other facts, we are under obligations to a class of intelligent men, who, amid the ordinary pursuits of life, have taken pains to thoroughly inform themselves on the history and resources of their county. Among those who have especially contributed to the completeness of the history of Schuyler County, are, the Chadseys, Judge Pinckney H. Walker, Hon John C. Bagby, Joel Tullis, Mrs. Sarah Brown, Rev. William Crain, William Anderson, William P. Sapp, William T. Black, Charles Hatfield, Dr. Ho sea Davis, John S. Vance, George Little, James G. McCrcery, Thomas Wilson. Valuable letters were also received from Rev. Chunky Hobart, of Red Wing, Minn., and Jonathan D. Manlove, of Fort Scott, Kansas. In the preparation of the history of Brown County, we have been materially assisted by Robert N. Curry, Dr. Saul Vandcvcnler, the Six family, Elihu Vandeventcr, Elisha Adams, letters of A. A. Glenn, Peter Rigg, Thomas B. Dehart, John Tccfey, Moses Black, John Harper, Judge Taylor, V. L. Vandeventer, John R. Briggs, Dr. Wm. .V. Bower, William Lee and Luke W. Perry. The articles on Common Schools have been prepared by gentlemen thoroughly acquainted with their subject, whose names appear at the head of the sketches in the body of the work. To the Clergymen of the different denominations and others whose articles appear in the work, we are indebted for much valuable information; and to the County Officials of both counties, we return our sincere thanks for the many courtesies extended to us. The Editors of the several newspapers have also rendered assistance in that prompt and cheerful manner so characteristic of Ike journalistic profession. We have endeavored, with all diligence and carefulness, to make the best of the material at our command, but we by no means claim to have produced a work beyond criticism. It is almost an impossibility to publish a work free from errors where the facts are gathered from a hundred different sources, and defend largely, nut on exact written records, but on the uncertain and conflicting recollections of different individuals. We have tried to preserve the incidents of pioneer history, to accurately present the natural features and material resourses of this portion of the state, and to gather the facts likely to be of most interest to our present readers, and of greatest importance to coming generations. If our readers will take into consideration the difficulties of the task, we feel assured of a favorable verdict on our undertaking.
