The deed issued to Madore Beaubien, son of fur trader Jean Baptiste Beaubien and Mahnobunoqua, a Grand River Ottawa woman, gave him title to "Lot number eight (8) of Block number one hundred and nineteen (119) of Section Sixteen Township Thirty five in North Range [Ten] East of the third principal meridian" in "Juliett." At the time this deed was issued, in 1836, Cook County extended further south than it does now to include Joliet, then known as Juliet or Juliett.
