Book Description
Henry Peden's three-volume series, Early Harford Countians contains over 30,000 entries about people living in Harford County between 1773 and 1790. This work covers the ensuing decade, thereby bringing the eighteenth century to completion. This book contains information gleaned from miscellaneous and obscure records (spanning the years 1791 through 1800). It includes genealogical information gleaned from tax lists, insolvent lists, store accounts, medical ledger entries, county court minutes, criminal court dockets, field survey books, Bible records, and cemetery records and inscriptions. In addition, there are some commonly known records, i.e., the 1800 census index and various vital records (births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, and burials) that have been previously published, but contained errors, some of which have been corrected herein. Entries are arranged alphabetically by surname.

Book Description
Best Book Award — Mormon History Association Best Book Award — John Whitmer Historical Association More of Mormonism’s canonized revelations originated in or near Kirtland than any other place. Yet many of the events connected with those revelations and their 1830s historical context have faded over time.Barely twenty-five years after the first of these Ohio revelations, Brigham Young lamented in 1856: “These revelations, after a lapse of years, become mystified [sic] to those who were not personally acquainted with the circumstances at the time they were given.” He gloomily predicted that eventually the revelations “may be as mysterious to our children . . . as the revelations contained in the Old and New Testaments are to this generation.” Now, more than 150 years later, the distance between what Brigham Young and his Kirtland contemporaries considered common knowledge and our understanding of the same material today has widened into a sometimes daunting gap. Mark Staker narrows the chasm in Hearken, O Ye People by reconstructing the cultural experiences by which Kirtland’s Latter-day Saints made sense of the revelations Joseph Smith pronounced. This volume rebuilds that exciting decade using clues from numerous archives, privately held records, museum collections, and even the soil where early members planted corn and homes. From this vast array of sources he shapes a detailed narrative of weather, religious backgrounds, dialect differences, race relations, theological discussions, food preparation, frontier violence, astronomical phenomena, and myriad daily customs of nineteenth-century life. The result is a “from the ground up” experience that today’s Latter-day Saints can all but walk into and touch.
