REMARK: Joseph Bailly (Honore Gratien Joseph Bailly de Messein) arrived in Porter County in 1822 with his family and household goods. At that time, the area was largely inhabited with Pottawatomie Indians. When locating his home along the banks of the Little Calumet River and the intersection of the Tolleston Beach Trail and the north branch of the Sauk Trail, Bailly thought he was locating in Michigan territory, where he had lived for many years prior in the Mackinac area.
