Hello, I do not believe in posting links to pay sites but I found a reference site a large amount of list members may use that I think is too valuable to pass up letting the group know about, as they are crucial to Henry County History and it is a reputable company. I am in no way related to these companies or financially benefit from them. I am a member of Genealogy.com (and Ancestry.com) and have premium memberships to both. At Genealogy.com for an extra $80 a year I gained access to the Families and Local History Collection by Heritage Quest Online. This allows me access to thousands of works. You are allowed to access, view, and download 50 pages per book. They had the three specific works on Henry County below and several on Bishop Hill Colony. I was able to find numerous bios on my ancestors. One thing I noticed that not all the names are listed in the original book indexes that appear in these works. On locating the bio on my GGG grand Aunt's Husband and her bio, Matilda LUTHER and William HARBAUGH) I was able to locate the family name of my GGG Grandmother Salome (Schock) who was married to George Barthel LUTHER, her father Adam was also listed. Had I not searched all my collateral lines, I never would have found this info I have been searching decades for. I downloaded the indexs for the two anonymous works the 1885 and the 1877 and would be glad to look up names on these indexes. I have used up my fifty page limit per book but still have access to the indeces and am happy to share the burden of doing look-ups for names. best wishes, Stephen Anonymous Portrait and biographical album of Henry County, Illinois : containing full-page portraits and biographical sketches of prominent and representative citizens of the county, together with portraits and biographies of all the governors of Illinois, and of the presidents of the United States : also containing a history of the county, from its earliest settlement to the present time.
