The records within each section are listed numerically by claim number, preceded by an index to names as an aid to researchers.

The marriages listed in three sequential marriage registers are here arranged in chronological order; an index of grooms and index of brides will help the user quickly locate persons.

The Northern Standard, later renamed The Clarksville Standard, was a weekly newspaper first published in 1842 by Charles DeMorse in Clarksville, a small town in the northeastern corner of the Republic of Texas. The paper grew to become the second largest in circulation in Texas and DeMorse was hailed as the Father of Texas Journalism. In 1854 and 1855, Texas was still "growing up." The Standard was more than a country newspaper. It published national and international news received from "exchange papers" from other parts of Texas, the Eastern seaboard, and even Europe. A myriad of political ideologies, temperance, and the growing issue of slavery and abolition were some of the topics discussed. Local news focused on Clarksville and the reader's home terrain: Bowie, Cass, Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Fannin, Grayson, Hopkins, Hunt, Jack, Johnson, Kaufman, Lamar, Montague, Parker, Red River, Tarrant, Titus, Upshur, and Wise Counties. Town activities, marriages and deaths, celebrations, crops, weather and more were covered. Both the genealogist and the student of Texas history will prize this work. For the genealogist, there is a wealth of names. For historians, this volume offers a taste of the people, events and attitudes in motion which were to shape Texas and the United States. An every name index enhances the text.

This volume is the first in a series devoted to presenting a transcription of the surviving serial manuscript records for the town of Wilmington, Essex County, New York, in the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Mountains. The first ledger book for the Town of Wilmington, "lost" for many years, covers the period from the founding of the town in 1821, until 1865 (except for cattle earmarks which are covered until 1884), and contains a record of the Town of Wilmington minutes, plus much more. The minutes of annual and special town meetings are included. Entries make special note of the persons elected or appointed to various offices: e.g., Town Clerk, Town Supervisor, Assessors, Commissioners of Highways, Overseers of Highways, Path Masters, Justices of the Peace, Overseers of the Poor, Tax Collectors, Election Inspectors, Sextons, Poor Masters, Scalers of Weights and Measures, and Superintendents of Schools. Votes are recorded for provisions for the poor and schools. Surveys of new roads, and occasionally new plats, are included. Highway taxes, in the form of corvee labor or days of labor owed by individuals, are recorded for every year. Earmarks for cattle are registered and illustrated. The original ledger is not consistently chronological and is often illegible; however, the authors have attempted to transcribe the entries as presented. Names have been faithfully transcribed, and it is not unusual to find the same name spelled several different ways. A full name index adds to the value of this work.

Cuming's tour serves as a record of a country in its infancy. His journeys include a pedestrian tour from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh in January, 1807, and continue in July by boat down the Ohio to Kentucky, then by foot, stage and saddle to West Virginia and back to Pittsburgh. In 1808 he embarked for the Mississippi Territory penetrating the Spanish Territory of West Florida as far as Baton Rouge. The last chapter continues the journey to New Orleans using the journal of a "gentleman of accurate observation, a passenger in a New Orleans boat." Cuming's "attitude was sympathetic towards the new and raw regions through which he traveled; nevertheless this fact does not appear to have unduly affected his purpose of giving an accurate picture of what he saw." He "portrays the possibilities of the new land, its remarkable growth, its opportunities for development, and the vigor and enterprise of its inhabitants." "In plain, dispassionate style, he has given us a picture of American life in the West, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, that for clear-cut outlines and fidelity of presentation has the effect of a series of photographic representations."

This book presents over 150 brief biographical sketches of lawyers and judges in Erie County, Pennsylvania, arranged roughly in order of admission to the Erie bar. Sketches vary in length, but most are one to two pages. The first subject is Hon. Thomas Hale Sill (1783-1856); the last is Lee Griswold, Esq. (1899-1928). The sketches are written in a pleasant style that provides enough personal detail about character traits and physical description to breath life into the subject. Biographical information generally includes: date and place of birth; date, place and cause of death; place of burial; legal experience; civil, political, and/or military service; and names of associates. Many also list parents, spouse and/or children; some touch on the subject's early life and/or hobbies. While extolling the accomplishments of Hon. Samuel A. Davenport (1834-1911), Judge Walling states that: "Strong lawyers make other lawyers strong. Our bar is greater because of what our fathers were. For a century Erie county has been blessed with an able bar." A full-name index completes this work.

"The descendants of William Warriner have furnished soldiers for all the American wars, from the Colonial times to the present, and have been well represented among the pastors of several denominations, Congregational, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Baptist and Methodist. ...The original ancestor of the New England Warriners joined the settlers of Springfield, Mass., in 1638. His birthplace and ancestry are unknown. That England was the land of his nativity is probable beyond all doubt." A full-name index completes this well researched work.
