"The Summer of 1833, the Indians having been driven from the country, the month of August found the various families who were stationed in Plainfield returning to the respective homes from which they had originally come. Mr. Harris' and Mr. Hollenback's families repaired to Ottawa; from thence Mr. Harris went to the neighborhood where he had wintere'd in 1830-31; and in the month of September Mr. Hollenback and his family returned to Ohio, from whence he had moved to Illinois in 1829; old Mr. and Mrs. Combs accompanied them. Mr. Hollenback and a young man named John Perry returned to Illinois in the Spring of 1833, and that summer raised a crop. He then returned to Ohio and removed his family the second time to Illinois. Mr. Ackley also returned and occupied the claim he left during the Indian troubles. Mr. Harris did not return to his claim at the grove, but sold it to John Matlock, father of West Matlock, Esq., and he in turn sold it to Robert Ford, who subdivided it. Mr. Harris then settled at Long Grove, and remained there until his death. Ezra Ackley died in 1810; Clark Hollenback in 1844; Rebecca, wife of Wm. Harris about 1846; Sophia, wife of George Hollenback in 1861; George Hollenback in 1863; William Harris in 1865. We are greatly indebted to George M. Hollenback, Esq., for the foregoing facts in regard to early settlement and Indian troubles of this vicinity."
