Tom, IL Territory was established in 1809. Randolph Co., came to IL Terr. from IN Terr. at that time. So any activity in Randolph Co., before 1809 was in IN Territory. I understand it exists, but have not seen, the 1807 Census of Randolph Co., IN Terr. This record would tell you if your interest was in the Co. in 1807. I am looking for the SMOCK family who were in Randolph Co., IN before 1808. They are on the USC 1810, Randolph Co., IL Terr as C. SMOCK with large family. They settled in vicinity of Cave in Rock, now Hardin Co., IL. My main focus is to determine the identity of C. SMOCK. Hope this helps. Best regards, Hugh
