The modern record here
4 settlementsWhat the federal record holds for each settlement inside this township: wildfires and storm reports since the 1950s, mineral workings, and museum specimens collected nearby. These are counted within a few miles of each settlement, so neighbours share them and the columns are deliberately not added up. Every row links to the settlement's own page, where each figure is broken out.

The chapter
166 wordsReproduced complete and unedited from History of Kendall County, Illinois, from the Earliest Discoveries to the Present Time, published 1877. The text is machine-read from scans, so expect recognition errors: misspelled names, dropped words, and stray characters. Nothing has been corrected, because correcting a proper name invents one. The headings below are the books' own; source changes are labelled in place.
The townships in which were no recruiting villages have a less number of names than belong to them, as most of the volunteers were credited to the town in which they enlisted ; and it has been impossible wholly to separate them.
In most of the cases where a name is given without a record, the one bearing it was discharged on account of disability, before the term of enlistment expired.
Philip Grace, wounded and prisoner, promoted corporal. George Hassel, prisoner, served to end of war. Darius Morrell, killed at Vicksburg, May 22nd, 1863. Henry Matlock.
