PREFACE.


IN the preparation of this work we have deemed it necessary to devote considerable space to outline history and events which controlled the destiny of the Ohio valley. The early settlement of this portion of the Ohio valley is of itself a voluminous subject. Twenty years of border warfare—from 1774 to 1794—existed with but few and short interruptions, in which the frequent bloody scenes which made up the terrors of the frontier were enacted within the limits of Belmont and Jefferson counties. In consequence of the large space that seemed necessary to devote to this subject, we find the pages of this volume much more numerous than we at first contemplated, yet we feel assured that our work, as a book of reference, receives an added value that will more than compensate us for the increased labor and expense.


Had we the space we would with pleasure make acknowledgment by name to each of the many persons who have rendered us material aid in our historical researches, also to the many published sources of the information compiled and presented to the public in this volume ; but it would cover pages and add bulk to an already voluminous work, and, in consideration thereof, we trust all will accept this general acknowledgment. We are under many obligations to the ministry and the press generally, the public officers, and members of the bar and medical profession, who have all aided in the preparation of this volume. We have garnered from every available source (in many cases a mere sentence only), confining ourselves so far as possible to original material, depending largely upon archives, documents, records, the memory of old settlers, and those whose lives and associations have made them familiar with the subjects portrayed.


We have also endeavored to make the history of each township and village after its organization up to present date complete in itself, without ton much recapitulation; to avoid this entirely were in impossible, though we trust that to no considerable extenet does it appear.


Some incidents and anecdotes have been related more with the design to illustrate the past than to amuse the reader, for we have aimed only to show and trace the method of the change, in a concise, unpretentious way : how and by whom the wilderness has been changed to the garden, the log cabin to the mansion, the track through the forest and the lone postal rider to the iron rail, fast mail, and electric wire with its lightning messenger—the wild lands of the red man to the homes and industries of the white. Honor and credit are certainly due to some. We have named many—and the means, privations, and toil required—but not all—only a few of the leading spirits, whom to associate with was to be one of. Too much honor cannot be rendered them.


Instructions to our historians were, " Write truthfully and impartially of every one and on every subject." Their instructions have been as faithfully executed as was possible, and while some may have been omitted who should have had a place in these pages, yet especial pains have been taken to make it otherwise.


We expect criticism. All we ask is that it be done in charity, after weighing all contingencies, obstacles, and hindrances that may have been involved ; for if our patrons will take into account all the difficulties we have had to overcome—the impossibility of harmonizing inharmonious memories, of reconciling perverse figures and stubborn facts, of remembering all the fathers. and grandfathers where there are so many to remember, and, finally, the uncertainty of all human calculations and the shortcomings of even the most perfect—we shall be content with their verdict.
