SURNAMES: DeHAULT, DeLASSUS, DeLUZIERE, DERBIGNY
Looking for any information on the Chevalier Pierre Charles DeHAULT DeLASSUS DeLUZIERE. DeLuziere was a pseudonom used to escape from France. He left LeHavre in 1790, and was one of the original French 500 at Gallipolis. Unfortunately he didn't hang around that long - he petitioned Governor Carondelet for some land near Ste. Genevieve in Missouri, and got it. Accompanied by several Loretta nuns, he left Gallipolis sometime in 1791. We are curious how he became involved with the land scheme, and any knowledge of what he was doing there, or resources to look at, would be very much appreciated.
