  • Larry Lock's 40+ Page History of Kewanee
    KEWANEE—1854-2004 By Larry Lock (Editor’s Note: This summary history of Kewanee appeared originally in the Henry County Genealogical Society’s “Family Histories of Henry County,” published in 2000. It is included here with the approval of the society. The author, who is president of the Kewanee Historical Society and curator of its Robert and Marcella Richards Museum, has made some corrections and additions to the original work.) BEGINNING AND OVERVIEW The founding of Kewanee in 1854 was the result of two separate developments: the establishment of the colony or village of Wethersfield some 18 yeArs before KewAnee And the building of A railroAd from Mendota to GAlesburg in 1854. Wethersfield was founded in 1836 by the Connecticut Association as part of a New England movement to encourage its Protestant peoples to populate the northern portion of Illinois ahead of Roman Catholic immigrants and Southern pro-slavery elements. The Connecticut Association was started by Rev. Caleb Jewitt Tenney, the pastor of the Wethersfield, Connecticut Congregational Church. Some 50 stockholders pooled $25,000 and sent Rev. Ithamar Pillsbury, the founder of Henry County’s first town of Andover in 1835, Col. Sylvester Blish and Elizur Goodrich to purchase land somewhere close to Andover. Some 16,000 acres in what are now Wethersfield and Kewanee Townships were purchased and a town site was selected and named Wethersfield. The first settlers arrived late in 1836, others followed to the village in the wilderness, and by the early 1850’s some 500 to 1000 people occupied the village and immediate surroundings. These Wethersfielders were true pioneers.
