ARCHIVES box 5, court cases 

ILLINOIS TERRITORY

Some of these cases are longer than I thought.  The same names keep coming up.

I am going to list the names on documents that I have found in the ARCHIVES,box #5 in the year ABOUT 1814.  These are court cases.  I will not be able to read all of these and tell you what they are about.  I can only send you documents with the name on it.  They will be $1.00 per page plus postage. Most of them are only 1,2, or 3 pages.  Be sure to send your ADDRESS when you order.
