PREFACE.
IN presenting the history of the Counties of Mercer and Hender- son to the public, the editors and publishers have had in view the preservation of certain valuable historical facts and a vast fund of information which without concentrated effort could never have been obtained, but, with the passing away of the old pioneers, the failure of memory, and the loss of public records and private diaries, would soon have been lost. This locality being compara- tively new, we flatter ourselves that, with the zeal and industry displayed by our general and local historians, we have succeeded in rescuing from the fading years almost every scrap of history worthy of preservation. Doubtless the work is, in some respects, imperfect ; we do not present it as a model literary effort, but in that which goes to make up a valuable book of reference for the present reader and future "historian, we assure our patrons that neither money nor time has been spared in the accomplishment of the work. Perhaps some errors will be found. With treacherous memories, personal, political and sectarian prejudices and preferences to contend against, it would be almost a miraele if no mistakes were made. We hope that even these defects, which may be found to exist, may be made available in so far as they may provoke discussion and call attention to corrections and additions necessary to perfect history.
In this work we have been greatly aided by the officers and. mem- bers of the Mercer County Historical Society, and to Messrs. Tyler MeWhorter, I. N. Bassett, C. S. Richey, Graham Lee, and John Geiger, we are indebted not only for valuable advice, but for articles on various topics that cannot but prove interesting and acceptable to our patrons. Messrs. J. Simpson, Dr. A. W. Hyde, E. Mathews,

PREFACE.
N. D. Hillis. M. S. Green, Mrs. Phebe Button, and many others who have contributed to the work in Henderson County, have placed the patrons of the work under lasting obligations for valu- able matter rescued from oblivion, where it was surely tending.
The biographical department contains the names and private sketches of nearly every person of importance in the counties. A few persons, whose sketches we would be pleased to have presented, for various reasons refused or delayed furnishing us with the desired information, and in this matter only we feel that our work is incom- plete. However, in most of such cases we have obtained, in regard to the most important persons, some items, and have woven them into the county or township sketches. so that, as we believe, we cannot be accused of negligence, partiality or prejudice.
