The text's narrative history covers: the founding of the town, its location and natural features; aborigines; churches; schools; "Professional Men;" some "First Things;" a list of town officers spanning 1801-1901; and military records for the American Revolution, War of 1812 and Civil War. Appendix I contains the historical and genealogical information of six additional families, three of which were headed by African-American Revolutionary War soldiers.
