From “THE HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY, ILLINOIS”, WM. LE BARON, JR., & CO., 186 DEARBORN STREET. 1878.

A few periods in the history of every nation, of every man and of every locality are seemingly of more importance than all of the balance of their existence. Probably no year in the history of Illinois has been more eventful than that of 1832…Black Hawk and all of his allies had been wrought up to such a pitch that neither threats nor promises by the Government or the State would no longer avail, and war between the two races seemed inevitable.

The State and nation were prompt to deal with the belligerents, but not until a number of wholesale butcheries had been perpetrated, were the Indians brought into subjection and removed from the State. In the mean time, though no actual demonstration occurred in this section, yet all were in such a state of suspense and anxiety that the county was for a time entirely deserted, some going to the nearest fortifications for protection, and others returning to their friends in the East, to be out of harm’s way until the problems might blow over. After peace and order had been restored, those who had for a time left their pioneer homes returned, bringing with them many settlers. Of this number were Jacob Moon and his sons, Rees, Albert and Thomas, and daughter Margaret. These were the original and first settlers of what is now Reading Township. They were from the State of Ohio, and, like all early emigrants from the wooded countries, were attracted by the timber and water features of this country, and hence settled in the immediate vicinity of the river, and near the little stream of water which now bears their name. The point of timber, still known as Moon’s Point, is one of the most beautiful spots in this part of the country, and no wonder is expressed that they should have been pleased with the fine scenery as well as satisfied with the more material prospects. At the time of which we speak, there were not to exceed a dozen families in the whole county, of which were Rook, at Rook’s Creek, the McDowells at Avoca, and Darnalls at Indian Grove.These were from ten to fifteen miles apart; and it is not surprising that some trepidation was felt at the nearness of the wild men, and of their very insecure condition, should an enemy appear. Even after the troubles were all over, frequent fights occurred. It is related of one of the Moons that, one evening, on his return from work, seeing his wife, at a distance from the house, he gave the well known Indian war-whoop, and was rewarded for his little pleasantry by seeing his wife go into spasms, from which she was recovered with great difficulty. The Moons were not alone in the township a great length of time, for in a short time they were joined by others from their native State.

Daniel Barackman , or “Bergman,” as the name was spelled in the German language, came from Ohio a short time after the Moons had lifted the light of their countenances upon the region. This family was a very large one, and this, with the large Moon family; went a good ways toward settling the township. The family consisted of Daniel Barackman, Sr., James, Upton, Jacob, Benjamin, Daniel, Jr., and daughters Harriet and Mary Ann.
