Historical Sketch of Jersey County, Illinois: Delivered at Jerseyville, July 4th, 1878 (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Jersey County, Illinois: Delivered at Jerseyville, July 4th, 1878
Three hundred family boats arrived at the Falls of the Ohio in the spring of 1789, mostly destined for Kentucky. Among the immigrants to Illinois we note the names of James Moore, Shadrach Bond, James Garrison, Robert Kidd, and Larkin Rutherford, the two latter having been with Clark. They were from Virginia and Maryland. With their families, they, without molestation in those perilous times, crossed the Alle ghanies, descended the Ohio, stemmed the Mississippi, and landed safely at Kaskaskia. James Piggott, John Doyle, Robert Whitehead, and a Mr. Bowen, soldiers in Clark's expe dition, also shortly after settled in Illinois. In 1785 came Joseph Ogle, Joseph Worley, and James Andrews, all from Vir ginia, and each with a large family. In the following year the settlement was further augmented by the arrival of James Lemen, George Atchinson, and David Waddell, with their fam ilies, beside several others. Col. Todd was killed in the battle of Blue Licks, Ky., August 18, 1782, and was succeeded in com mand of Illinois county by a Frenchman named Timothy de Montbrun, concerning whose administration, either as to acts performed or the time it continued, we have no certain account.
