HOLLENBACK, ANDREW F., born Jan. 14, 1807, in Great Barrington, Berkshire county, Mass. He came to Sangamon county, Ill., arriving Nov. 11, 1830, at Rochester, but a few days before the "deep snow," and remembers that Archibald Sattley and himself gathered corn during the whole winter, and fed sixty head of cattle and fifteen horses.
