After the United States established its control over Illinois in 1784, the federal government eventually began a review process to determine the legitimacy of preexisting land claims. When examinations were completed in 1814, federal authorities had confirmed title to less than half of the claims presented to them.” (quoted from Illinois State Archives [http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/research_series/rseries1.html Genealogical Research Series Pamphlet No. 1 Land Sale Records]) | {{CahokiaMound}} Before 1787, settlers in what is now Illinois lived in an area once controlled by France (1678-1763), Spain, Great Britain (1763-1778) or Virginia (1778-1784).
