INDEX VOLUME I









PREFATORY.


ALTHOUGH Chester was the earliest of the counties organized in the Province of Penn, and has ever been deservedly ranked among the fairest and most prosperous and intelligent of those districts, she has nevertheless been somewhat strangely neglectful of her history and of the worthies within her borders, who aided in the noble enterprise of planting a Christian colony and establishing a home for human freedom, and who have brought her to her present high position. Many good men and true have lived among us, but they have nearly passed into oblivion for want of vigilant and faithful chroniclers.


As nearly two centuries have elapsed since the establishment of the county, it is meet that such of her history as has escaped the ravages of time and can now be related should be placed on record for preservation and for the information of the people, so that they may know what manner of men their fathers were.


The authors of this volume being " native here, and to the manner born," and having for some years a lively interest in the history of the county, and of her citizens who have devoted themselves to the public service and the cause of human improvement, have essayed to perform the laborious, but to them delightful, task thus indicated. How well they have succeeded it is not for them to say. They submit their work to the judgment of the good people of this ancient bailiwick, regretting that it is not more complete, and only asking that, in passing judgment upon it, the difficulties surrounding the preparation of such a history will be borne in mind.


This is not, however, the first effort that has been made in that direction. In 1824, Hon. Joseph J. Lewis —then a student at law—wrote a series of " Letters on the History of Chester County," which were printed in the columns of the Village Record, and in 1858-61, Dr. William Darlington and J. Smith Futhey contributed a series of historical papers, which were published in the same journal, under the title of " Notae Cestrienses." Neither of these publications was issued in book form, and they are now very rare. They contained much valuable material, of which the authors have availed themselves.


The "History of Delaware County," by George Smith, M.D., embracing as it does the early history of the entire original county, has been freely drawn upon, and the authors hereby acknowledge their indebtedness to Dr. Smith for his kind permission to use such portions of his valuable work as were suited to their purpose.


Major Isaiah Price has also kindly permitted the use of his valuable and complete "History of the 97th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, during the War of the Rebellion," and the authors acknowledge their obligation to him for that portion of this volume relating to the history of that regiment and its officers and men.


They also extend their thanks to Dr. Ezra Michener, Dr. William D. Hartman, Prof. E. D. Cope, Hon. Joseph J. Lewis, Hon. Eli K. Price, Hon. Charles Gibbons, Dr. Robert C. Smedley, Dr. William H. Egle, of Harrisburg, Prof. George G. Groff, Dr. John P. Edge, Prof. James McClune, Henry C. Townsend, Joseph W. Barnard, and Samuel W. Pennypacker, Esqs., for articles contributed and other assistance rendered by them, and to the last, also, for facts derived from his " History of Phoenixville."

4 - PREFATORY.


The officers of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and the editors and publishers of the press of the county, will also accept their thanks for courtesies extended in the search for historical material, and those who have given aid and are not specially named are also kindly remembered.


The value of the work is greatly enhanced by the illustrations herein given, and especially when viewed with reference to the future. The appearance of the scenery and homes of the county is thus preserved, and this will be valuable not only as to each locality but also as being indicative of the stage of civilization to which we have arrived. Beside the representative men of the present it will be seen there are quite a number of portraits of noted citizens of the generations which have passed away, whose lineaments are this preserved and transmitted to posterity. This last feature must prove of especial interest.
