Description	Jeff Kittel's website "Game of Games" notes that in an 1879 history of Edgar County, IL, Colonel Jonathan Mayo says he played town-ball 50-60 years ago [i.e., 1819-29] in Paris (the county seat) "on the day of the public sale of lots in Paris." Edgar County was founded in 1823. Paris was surveyed in the 1820s. Mayo is on record as purchasing public lands in Edgar County in 1830.
