Stephen Mack, son of Stephen and Temperance (Bond) Mack, born Tunbridge, Orange Co., VT, He married 1stly to Hononegah, the daughter of Blacksmith and Inoquer. Their relationsip must have began in February 1829 or shortly before, the date that Mack purchased LeSallier's cabin at Grand Detour. Later in their relationship Mack was concerned about the possibility that his children might be barred from inheriting his estate, so on 14 Sep 1840, Mack and Hononegah were married by William Hulin, Justice of the Peace for Winnebago County, IL. Hononegah died at Pecatonic in July of 1847 in the prime of womanhood, perhaps about 33 years of age. Stephen married 2ndly on 24 Feb 1848 to the widow Mrs. Isabella Daniels who survived him. Stephen died at Pecatonic 10 Apr 1850. He, his first wife and a son were originally buried near the Macktown golf course clubhouse. This site is presently marked by a boulder and commemorative placque. By 1880 the cemetery site was in such bad condition that the remains of Stephen, Hononegah and their son were exhumed and moved to Phillips Cemetery in rural Rockton Township until when they were once again moved to their present location near their house in Macktown Forest Preserve.
