Kaskaskia is a small town near the Illinois/Missouri border. The closest "large" town is Chester, Illinois, which lies approximately 5 miles east of Kaskaskia. There's also a Fort Kaskaskia, an historical site about 5 miles north of Kaskaskia proper. As for the rest? No idea. Just thanking my lucky stars no additional Elishas were thrown in to boot.
