Many folks have been asking me where I get information. Here are some resources I've compiled. These are available at your local Mormon Family History (Center) Libraries (FHL) to borrow. It will take me years to go through all the microfilm I want to see. I've included a summary of county formations to start with (let me know if my notes are wrong). If anyone uses these, I'd appreciate any Murphys or Crews you find.
