His father died in 1803, and in 1804, his mother, who was a woman of extraordinary courage and enterprise, with a married daughter and seven other childen, most of them small, removed from Pennsylvania to St. Louis in Missouri. St. Louis at that time was a village of only a few hundred French and Spanish inhabitants.

At that time the American inhabitants of Illinois did not exceed three or four thousand. |
