Light-Houses & Light-House Keepers 1793-1816-1850
I don’t know much about Lighthouses but there are a lot of people who do and are always looking for information on them, as many had ancestors who worked on them. Then there are some who heard of a lighthouse but can’t find no information about it. I hope this page will help those looking into the lighthouse and are trying to fit it into your family history.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 20, 1832.
SIR: By the fifth article of the Seneca treaty, concluded February 28, 1831, the Government stipulated to pay $6,000, in lieu of improvements—an equitable distribution of which was to be made by the chiefs, to such individuals as held them. The tribe objected, positively, to the chiefs making the valuation and apportionment; and in order to settle the dispute which had arisen, I was obliged to take upon myself the laborious task of making the accompanying valuation, upon which the $6,000 was distributed, as per receipt to Col. John McElvain, for that advancement. Should you think proper to make an allowance for this extra service, you \will confer a favor on Your obedient servant,
