[the abbreviations and CAPS are mine, be advised that the names following are NOT in complete alphabetical order] pg 176 NAMES OF EARLY PIONEERS In bringing this portion of our history to a close, the names of those who first trod the wilderness of what is now Daviess County may be of interest, not only to those who are now living, but to future generations. Not all who figured in the early history are here recorded; many familiar names may be missing--all could not be secured. The list numbers nearly 200 & with very few exceptions, all were residents of Daviess Co., Jan. 1, 1837. There were but 280 votes, in 1840, as of record at that time, and the # here present are probably all that were in the county at the date first above mentioned. There are names found elsewhere in this history not recorded in this list. The record is as follows: Wm. ABBEY John ADAMSON Wm. C. ATKINSON John AUBERRY Eliza AUSTIN Thomas BLAKELY Adam BLACK John W.
