Robert A. Kinzie made a deed of the Kushkanong town site to James L. Thompson in trust.

The evidence

• “With its failure to get the territorial capital the town of Kushkanong ended its brief but hopeful existence. A few lots were sold, and then in December, 1836, Kinzie made a deed of the town site to one James L. Thompson in trust for parties, not named, who held equities in the place.”
