In 1822, the Conover family, with a large number of relatives and acquaintances, desirous of loeating beyond the influence of slavery, moved by wagons to this State, the journey occupying some months, and attended with hardships that would have deterred any but the stout- hearted. The party reached Springfield in June, and, after an examination of the country, chose the Jersey Prairie, in what is now Morgan Co., as the site of their future home. Peter Conover and his wife remained in this loeality until their death, which occurred to the first in May, 1835, and to the latter in October, 1846. John G.
