    John Marshall came to Illinois, 1806, aged twenty-
    two years, as bookkeeper for "The Illinois Salines" then
    operated by the United States on the frontier. The
    journey was made on horseback from Post Vincennes.
    When Shawneetown was laid out, Mr. Marshall was
    appointed land agent, and later served as postmaster for
    fifteen years. Illinois' first bank occupied the long draw-
    
    
    
    ing room of John Marshall's home and he acted as its
    president from 1816 to 1843. He was a member of the
    first session of the Illinois House of Representatives,
    1818. He fought at the Battle of Tippecanoe and was
    made lieutenant-colonel during the War of 1812. Died
    1858.

    One of the first banks in Illinois was located at Shawneetown, and was built of logs. A traveler who visited Shawneetown in 1818 found about thirty log houses there. "The chief occupation of the inhabitants is the salt trade." he wrote. "There is here a United States land office, and a log bank is just established. The chief cashier of this establishment was engaged in cutting logs at the moment of my arrival."
