	Pierre Laclede, Founder of St. Louis
		Laclede having completed his arrangements for his voyage to this upper country, sailed from New Orleans in his barge, with his family and outfit of merchandise for his Indian trade, on the 3d day of August, 1763, and arrived at Fort Chartres, some twenty miles above Ste.
		Pierre Laclede Liguest was a native of the parish of Bedons, Valle d'Aspre, diocese d'Oloron en Bearn, about fifteen leagues from Pau (Basses-Pyrennes).
		Pierre Laclede went to Louisiana in 1755, and founded a commercial establishment in New Orleans.

	Chronicles of Oklahoma
		Pierre Chouteau the Elder is described as the younger half-brother of Auguste.
		Since Auguste's mother was living and since Pierre Laclède Liguest was step-father to Auguste at the time of the establishment of St. Louis, we may surmise that the little half-brother was the son of Pierre Laclède Liguest, although he was called "Chouteau." This theory is strengthened by references to Pierre Chouteau Jr.
		Pierre Chouteau sent runners ahead to warn the Indians and worked desperately to prevent the spread of the disease but, in spite of his precautions, one Mandan group was reduced from a population of 1700 to 31.
