History of Randolph, Monroe & Perry
Counties
![]()
In the late 1800's, many counties produced
a history book of the county residents, villages,
businesses and earliest settlers. These books
became known as "Vanity Books",
as they usually profiled the most well-to-do
personages and families, with sometimes overdone
embellishments.
The books lists these persons, giving their
occupation, their mailing address, their
place of birth and the year they settled
in that county. Below are those listed with
Kaskaskia as their mailing address.
Those names with a * were from Kaskaskia
village, and we can only assume the others
lived nearby. (Twp 7 S Range 8 W)
The bottom 2 families were also listed as
living in the same twp & range, even
with a different mailing address.
