Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Judge John Pence and Descendants: Born in Shenandoah County, Virginia, January 15, 1775; Resided in Champaign County, Ohio, Bartholomew County, Indiana and Henderson County, Illinois In compiling this history of the descendants of Judge John Pence, I shall give an introductory chapter relative to The Early Pences in America. Strictly speaking, I suppose I should begin the history with the original immigrant, Henry Pence, father of Judge John Pence, from whom we, and many of our distant relatives not included in this history, descended. My reason for beginning the history with Judge John Pence, instead of his father, is that the book would grow to a larger work than I care to under take. I have tried to carry out both the male and female sides, as fully as I could, and I believe that very few have been omitted. I have found we all have at least a common school education and that being so common, I have not mentioned it, but only gave the fact of a high school or college education where I learned of such fact. Many of the families are treated very brie y, because they did not send me anything further to publish, much to my regret. In the matter of divorces I found that some of our relatives preferred that no mention be made of such fact and have omitted any mention of such cases in the book. If divorce should be mentioned in any one's history, it has been an oversight. I found among our families only a few divorces. The Geographical Index and Post Office Addresses given are those given me in A. D. 1911, and corrected as far as I could in 1912. I find some of our relatives keep moving.
