The Black Hawk War was fought in 1832 in the midwestern United States.
The war was named for Black Hawk, a war chief of the Sauk, Fox, and Kickapoo Native Americans, whose British Band fought against the United States Army and militia from Illinois and the Michigan Territory (present-day Wisconsin) for possession of lands in the area. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hawk_War.) Nine thousand militia fought in the war, the following link contains Rhodes/Rodes from Illinois that served in it their militia. http://rhodesfamily.org/IL-Black-Hawk-War-Vets.html

Carl, the proprietor of RhodesFamily.org
Hi, I was born and raised in northern Indiana and have spent much of my life here.
I have been interested in genealogy for over twenty years and I am still learning and feel I have a lot to learn. I am a member of the Society of the Descendants of Washington Army at Valley Forge, also a member and a past chapter president the Son of the American Revolution. When at home you will usually find me in front of the computer looking for dead relations and communicating with the living ones. Carl Rhodes| Sun | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat |
