This is about all I can find on Indian REsevation near Hamilton County. The Kaskaskias were forced westward to the Big Muddy when the slaughter continued until the Kaskaskias were all killed or captured. This is sometimes called the battle of Battle Creek, The spot is at the crossing of the Big Muddy river by the road from the town of Frankfort, in Franklin county, to DuQuoin, in Perry county. In after years the Kaskaskias remained on a reservation on the lower Big Muddy, whence they removed to the Indian Territory.

He was born March 23, 1832 in Lawrence county, Ohio and migrated to Illinois with his father Valentine. They originally settled in White county, Indian Creek township where you will find John's parents buried. 1860 John was lving in McLeansboro twp along with Rebecca.(marriage date Sept 14, 1859) 1870 John was in Four Mile Twp, Wayne county along with his second wife Emaline.(marriage date June 16, 1861) 1880 Shelton Twp, Hamilton 1900 Elk Prairie, Jefferson co. 1919 John died at Georgetown, Vermillion co. You can't find (or at least I couldn't) any Rambo's living in HCI in 1850 but in 1860 there were several mainly from Virginia or Ohio. The real missing piece is where this reservation might have been located. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 1:03 AM Subject: Re: [ILHAMILT] John and Rebecca Rambo Acord > > In a message dated 2/16/2010 10:49:07 P.M.
