William Morrison established the first trading post east of the Mississippi river about 1790, location, Kaskaskia Illinois.
He had a large family, was married twice. One of his trading ledgers is listed on the web site called IDA, Illinois digital program.
Several of his ancestors still live in Chester, Illinois and several of his families homes are still standing.
He was in partnership with Pierre Menard, helped Lewis and Clark etc. Hope this helps.
