I forgot to mention there is a nice writeup on the Tougas family in the tri-county history written (Edwards, Wabash and Lawrence Counties, Illinois) and published in the 1800s saying they were traders with the Piankashaw Indians of the area, and telling of some colorful exploits.Also some nice write ups in the two modern day county histories of Edwards Co., IL and the one of Wabash Co., IL.Do you have access to any of these?Are you local to southern IL, or IN?I can tell you where to access the books if in that area, or in southern California, or in Mesa, Arizona, or in Indianapolis, IN.
