Hello, one and all... I was going to break these all down into sections but have thought better of it and am just going to leave them in the places - books - they were in. I want to eventually have all three 1800 books on the history of Knox county online. It will take Kathy and I some time but I think we are up to the task. This way you will also know where the information came from and be easier for you for your source information. George Candee Gale had a big hand in the completion of this work and would like to dedicate this online version in his name. He was one great, intelligent gentleman to help in the founding of Knox County, IL. This is part two in this history Book on the History of my county. It took Kathy Mills & I, together--2 years --to type this whole book up. I was a host for another Knox Co., IL Genealogy site & I notice I'm not getting any credit my work done on this book. Makes me sad as when I had left that was our agreement. What I'm not proud of is ----If you see these on another web site they are copied from Kathy Mills & me. I used to host the site but no more was told I would be given credit where credit is due & that has not happened to as of now or any other time they should come down from the other site. Kathy & I worked long and hard took us 2 years together of typing to get this all online for your enjoyment. thank you so much Kathy & I wish I could get a hold of you...These biographies were typed by Kathy Mills & Foxie Anderson Hagerty if u by chance see them on another web site they are reproduced without giving proper credit where it is due. thank you! We worked long & hard to get these online & I like giving credit where credit is due. surprisingly others do not feel the same. Thank you & enjoy. All our best as your host ~ Foxie ~ & as typist Kathy |

| Part III Towns & Township Histories | |||
|
The below histories are linked all on the same page, if you click on the name of the township you want to go to then wait a minute and it will open at the place on the next page. I put them up backwards starting at the extended southern portions of Knox County Townships. The counties listed below may or may not be from this book. I have a few of them mixed up. Will sort them at a later date. So, if you find this book on another site it was typed by Kathy Mills & me, Foxie Hagerty, it took us two years of hand typing this book to get it online for your convenience-- They are reformating & making it into another format than what was in the book. What amazes me is what other people promise you & then do not reciprocate. Thank you....Have a wonderful day. This will remain here until all of the histories are online. |
