Excerpt from Genealogical Records of the Dinwiddie Clan of North-Western The material for this book has been gathered almost entirely by Oscar Dinwiddie of Plum Grove, post office Orchard Grove, who acquired a love for such research many years ago, and who has been carrying on a correspondence for twenty-five or more years that has become quite extensive, reaching into Scotland, England, Ireland, and into various states of this Union. As the "Dinwiddie Clan" of Lake and Porter, offered to me at their seventh anniversary, at Hebron, Sept.7, 1901, the work of publishing their records, this gathered material was placed in my hands, to be arranged and worked up according to my judgment, so as to make it, of its kind, not only an acceptable but, if possible, a model book. How well I have succeeded the readers must judge. My restrictions were: not to put in much biography, and only such likenesses as were paid for by the individual families specially interested. This latter limitation prevented any partiality being shown on my part. The family lines, as fully as practicable, were to be brought down to Dec. 31, 1000.
