At about quarter past two in the morning on a Monday, December 16th, 1811 all the houses along Mill Creek began to rattle. But before the half-awake people could gather their wits, the noise had ceased. While no apparent damage had occurred, they all knew they had experienced an earthquake. Many sat up the rest of the night, being too frightened to close their eyes before seeing the first light of day. The wives and servants prepared breakfast as usual that morning, though a little sleepy. Most had finished breakfast and possibly gone to check on a neighbor when the earth began to tremble again at 8:15. Once again no damage.
It would be two weeks before the newspapers carried the stories of the reverses in landscape along the Mississippi River, where swamps had become thirty feet deep lakes, and rivers nearby had gone dry. During the end of December and first part of January, 1812 the earth quivered slightly several times a day. The tremors came so often that sometimes it was difficult for one to tell if it was his imagination or not. On January 23rd, however, at 9 o'clock in the morning, there was no doubt in anybody's mind that a violent earthquake had just struck somewhere.
About 3:30 in the morning on February 7th, even the heaviest of sleepers was jarred awake by the churning earth. This time it was worse than ever, causing great fear for a few minutes. The described event would have been an earthquake along the New Madrid fault, south of St. Louis.
