Do you have any documents in your files that you do not remember how you learned of their existence? That’s the case with today’s Friday Find.

This document is photocopies of pages from the Illinois Executive Record. According to my handwritten notations on the copies, this was from Volume 1 for the years 1818-1832. I have not been able to locate this source online.

Buried in the photocopies from the 1827 and 1829 pages are two little pieces of information about Hiram M Curry of Peoria County, Illinois

page 211
Vandalia September 2 1829

Issued commission to Hiram M Curry Justice of the peace for
the County of Peoria

Below are images from that document.
