Plat books can be an aid to genealogists for following land ownership in families and locating the names of neighbors of ancestors. Plat books contain maps of each township with land parcels outlined with the name of the land owner and acreage of parcel. Also the maps will list cemeteries, schools and roads. In addition to the maps there is an historical directory of the county, listing name, occupation, residence, nativity and when came to county. There are also plats of the towns of the county but lot owners are not listed.

Henry county is in western Illinois and is surrounded by Rock Island, Mercer, Knox, Stark, Bureau and Whiteside counties. The county seat is Cambridge. Other towns are Atkinson, Kewanee, Galva, Geneso, Woodhull, Orion, Annawan, Hopepool, Ophiem, Andover and Lynn Center
