The following are from Robert Hanson's papers. He published two volumes of vital statistics: Volume 1 included 1828-1840, and Volume 2 included 1840-1846. The abstracts from 1846 to the end of 1850 were never published. The date following each abstracted entry is the date of the newspaper.

He published the Sexton Reports that are included here as part of the Old Cemetery Volume. In his introduction to the cemetery he thought the Sexton Records would replace many of the tombstones that are missing. Including the reports as part of the newspaper abstracts is more suited to the Jo Daviess website format.

We will never know what criteria the newspaper editor used to determine what vital record to include. The following range all over the upper Midwest as far north as Minnesota and south to St. Louis and Kentucky. The neighboring counties to Jo Daviess County have many entries. But information about people who resided in Jo Daviess County may not included. This in part was solved in later years with paid correspondents from all these communities.
