ourselves of such historical manuscripts and published records as were found, but ourchief resource for information has been the traditions that have been handed down from onegeneration to another. These we have generally been able to verify from other sources, butm some not essential particulars, we have been obliged to depend upon tradition alone, andmay thus have sanctioned some errors. These, it is believed, will be found of trifling impor-tiinve. and the favorable judgment of the public obtained upon the essential correctness andcompleteness of this volume as a history of Morrow County. We desire in this connection to thank the citizens everywhere in the county who have socordially aided our historians in gathering the materials for this volume, and to acknowledgeour indebtedness to the gentlemen who were associated with them in the various parts of thework ; to Rev. H. Shedd, Dr. D. L. Swixgley, and others whose names appear witth heircontributions. August. 1880. THE PUBLISHERS.
