VOLUME I

PREFACE. IN presenting these volumes to the public, no elaborate introduction is needed. With a reader of ordinary intelligence, the title alone is sufficient to place this work on terms of friendship. The van of civilization in its westward march, was in the upper Ohio valley during the stirring times of the revolution, and the troubles which that memorable conflict brought upon the frontier settlers were indeed great. To give a succinct and authentic account of the general history of this region, together with biographical sketches of many inhabitants, was the original intention of the publishers, and throughout the whole of the work this has been the central plan. In addition to this, however, there has been much other valuable and interesting matter included relating to local affairs, although it was impossible in a work of this character to go far into details. Nearly all the general history of the valley is from the graphic pen of Judge Gibson L. Cranmer, which is comprised in the first fourteen chapters of Volume I. All other chapters have the name of the authors at the head in every case except where it was compiled by some member of our regular corps of writers. The chapters in the second volume, from the pens of J. H. S. Trainer, W. M. Trainer, 0. M. Sanford and J. B. Doyle, of Jefferson county, and those of Col. C. L. Poorman R. H. Taneyhill and Maj. A. T. McKelvey, of Belmont, and in the first volume by Dr. S. L. Jepson, are all full of valuable and entertaining matter. It is now more than a year since the work of compilation began and in that time much arduous and painstaking labor has been performed by those engaged in it. Hardly can it be hoped that there are no errors in the midst of so much liability to err, but it is believed that these volumes are as nearly accurate as the nature of the work will reasonably permit. It is thought that these pages contain short and concise sketches of a large majority of the leading families of the six counties em- iv - PREFACE. braced in them. There are other conspicuous citizens not mentioned herein, yet this is not the fault of the publishers. The work has already outgrown expectations by several hundred pages. The practice of publishing biographies of living men, which has become so widely popular in recent years, is one in keeping with modern progress. No other plan so accurately gathers the facts of a man's life nor does any other so faithfully record them. Even should occasional errors creep in, it is better that the mistakes be made while the living witnesses are able to correct and refute them, than to wait for that immoderate adulation which so often finds its only apology in death. The work is so much more than was promised to our patrons, both in quantity and quality, that we have no doubt of its favorable re- ception by those for whom it was prepared. Our thanks are due to subscribers and to all who have rendered us assistance. THE PUBLISHERS. Madison, Wis., July, 1890. HISTORICAL INDEX OF THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND THE PANHANDLE.
