I'm trying to find information on how the town of Prairie du Rocher,
IL was back in the 1880's. Were there still raiding Indians on
settlers back then? Ft. Chartres was a haven of safety at times
for the farmers who lived in that area I understand.

Does anyone know if the Pawnee Indians were used as slaves
in PDR, IL back in the early 1880's or before?

My grandmother was born in PDR, IL on Feb. 20, 1882.

Parents were Louis Pelate and Emily Boyer.

My grandmother was a twin.

Just starting this research and have hit so many brickwalls.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks
