Title: History of Will County, IL by August Maue
Page: 199
Source Text: According to the source LEWIS LINEBARGER was the first settler of Jackson Township, Will County, Illinois. Here is a quote from page 199 of his "History of Will County, Illinois": : "Some dispute as to who was the first settler of this township has arisen in consequence of the nearness of some of the first settlements to the northwest corner, across the line from which other early settlements were made in adjoining townships. We have no doubt from close investigation that LEWIS LINEBARGER is justly entitled to that honor. Several others of the LINEBARGER family came to Jackson Township in the year 1832, and as we have seen in the history of that township, returned to Indiana on the appearance of Indian problems. The next Spring, Lewis moved out and settled at what has since been known as Starr's Grove, though the neighborhood was then really considered a part of Reed's Grove. Perhaps from this circumstance, Linebarger has been incorrectly accredited to Jackson Township. LINEBARGER built a log cabin, which was the first and made other improvements. he did not enter the land, but subsequently sold his claim to Arthur Potts, and removed to Oregon."

Title: Will County, Illinois History, Past and Present, Vol I, Historical Frankfort Village
Page: 81
Source Text: According to the source, on page 81, "The first actual settler in the township [of Florence] was LEWIS LINEBARGER who came from Indiana in the Spring of 1831. He went first to Jackson's Grove but after prospecting for a few days around the country he concluded that Starr''s Grove was the best place and so settled them. He built a log cabin for himself and family and was soon occupying it as the pioneer settler of the township. He did not however remain there long but soon removed over into Reed's Grove and from there a few years later removed to Oregon. Arthur Potts came there in 1834 and bought LINEBARGER's claim and that was his home until 1855 when he sold out and removed to iowa..."
