This work presents an overview of the first settlers and their origins, followed by a roster of "the earliest and most prominent" landowners and settlers. The bulk of the book is a treasure-trove of genealogical information. The length of the articles vary in length and generally contain the following information: name of the subject; birth/marriage/death dates; name of spouse; names of children; the subject's education and occupation; and the subject's siblings and parents. The subjects appear to have been born in the early to mid-1800s but commentary on their ancestries may cover several generations and reach into the early 1700s. A surname index adds to the value of this work.
