  Notes for Joel Hodgson:
The following excerpt relates Mr. Hodgson's adventure in exploring an area that is now in the present state of Illinois prior to his settlement there in Tazewell County in 1831:


In the autumn of 1821 a number of families in Clinton County proposed to emigrate to some western location and deputed Joel Hodgson and Luke Dillon to explore the then wild and unoccupied Northwest, and to select a location for the colony. Mr. Dillon having taken sick, Mr. Hodson resolutely started alone on horse-back. He equip-ped himself with a good horse, saddle and bridle, a packing wapello well filled with dried beef, crackers and hard tack. His other equipments were the best map he could find of the western territories, a pocket compass, flint, steel and punk wood with which to kindle a fire, as matches were not then known. He carried no weapon, often remarking that an honest face was the best weapon among civilized or savage men.

After safely crossing the state of Indiana, then a wilderness, he entered Illinois where Danville now is, and here found a small settlement and some friends. He made a short stay and then took a northwest course to reach the Illinois river, his map and compass his only guide. Wherever night overtook him, he set up camp with a small fire and slept on the ground with only a blanket. He stated that his horse became very cowardly, so that he would scarcely crop the grass, keeping close to his master, following him wherever he went, sleeping at night by his side, and would not leave him at any time. With only an occasional Indian trail in the limitless prairie or along the tree line, casually meeting a party of Indians, with whom he conversed only by signs, it is not surprising that horse and rider should be lonely, suspicious and fearful. The Indians were friendly, offering to pilot him where- ever he wished to go, but were importunate for tobacco and whiskey; in vain, however, for he carried neither. He reached the Illinois river, he supposed, just below the mouth of the Kankakee, and followed it down on the south side til he reached the mouth of the Fox river, and recognized it on his map, the first time he had been certain of his location since leaving Danville. He explored each side of the southern branches of the Illinois river for several miles of both sides from their mouths. He thus explored the county to Dillon's grove, in Tazwell County, near Fort Clark (Peoria). There, as he expected, he met a few settlers, old neighbors of his from Ohio, the first white men he had seen since leaving Danville.

He then returned by way of Springfield and Vandalia, to Danville, where he made a claim on government land which he afterwards purchased. He returned to Ohio and reported that he found no suitable location for the proposed colony west of Danville. It may seem strange that he passed up what was the best part of the state and the west, but those who saw it as he saw it can properly appreciate his decision, for the wild region was not then understood. There was supposed to be a total deficiency of timber and the prairie so cold and bleak in winter as to be uninhabitable. Even many who came ten years later were of the same opinion and never expected the large prairies to be more than sparsely occupied. Eventually he changed his opinion, for in 1828 he purchased a farm in Tazewell County and removed there three years later, having taken another trip there in the autumn of 1828, similar to his first trip in 1821, when he was convinced it was feasible to settle in a prairie region. His colleague, Luke Dillon, with a number of their friends emigrated to Vermillion County, Illinois, settling near Danville and Mr. Hodgson designed settling on his original purchase at the same place, but the milk-sick disease broke out among his cattle causing him to change his mind. He remained on his purchase -- near Pekin -- until his death in 1836. He was reported to have sowed the first non-native grass in Tazewell County from seed he brought with him from Ohio, but it turned out to be a pronounced failure, due to the nature of the soil. However the peach seed from his choicest peach trees in Ohio, which he distributed among his widely scattered neighbors, proved to be compatible with the soil and climate and provided bountiful crops for a number of years.

Similar adventures were made by other parties, cousins of Joel Hodgson about the same time, and under the same trying circumstances
