Colonial Accounts of Joseph Quevedo

These entries are from Kaskaskia Manuscripts, on microfilm, and extracted and sent to me from Illinois Regional Archives Depository. The first number in the four-part document represents the year in which the action took place (for example: 23 = 1723). The second number represents the month, the third represents the day, and the fourth represents the number of the document produced that day.

In some cases, one of more of these numbers is missing, because of the legibility of the original.

Several of the incidents, such as the marriages, have surviving documents. I have copies of these, but they need translating from the original French. Some will be difficult, but as the work is completed, I will add that. I thought that having these descriptions, with the dates, would still be helpful and interesting.
