1832 · Black Hawk War
"The Black Hawk War was a brief conflict between the United States and Native Americans led by Black Hawk, a Sauk leader. The war erupted soon after Black Hawk and a group of other tribes, known as the ""British Band"", crossed the Mississippi River, into Illinois, from Iowa Indian Territory in April 1832. Black Hawk's motives were ambiguous, but records show that he was hoping to avoid bloodshed while resettling on tribal land that had been given to the United States in the 1804 Treaty of St. Louis."

Name Meaning
English: relationship name from the Middle English personal name Stubard, Stobard, late Old English * Stubheard, recorded only in E Anglia, so the surname in post-medieval NE England may be due to migration from there via the east coast trade route. The post-medieval surname may have been confused with Stappard and Stopford , and in E Anglia it may have been absorbed into Stibbard .
