PAUL BENJAMIN “Messalier” GRATIOT
THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATION GRATIOTS
Got a surprise: Found a map in City Hall Recorder of Deeds. Found a map on microfilm of the breakdown of: Gratiot League Square, and Charles Gratiot’s Heirs. It was like hitting a goldmine. This also included the tract called “Prairie Des Noyers”, which he Charles had trouble settling a debt on. Also the angled lines that I think were part of old common grounds. This is also where I think the Sublette Race Tract was. Pardon the brown coffee stain. Does give it a little class.

· Three Infants died young in 1801, 1803, and 1804.
Julie was the oldest of the Gratiot children, Born 24, July 1782 in St. Louis, and christened in the Old Cathedral. She married Jean (John) Pierre Cabanne on 8,Apr 1799 in St. Louis. Julie died 14 Apr. 1852.
Jean Pierre Cabanne was born 18 Oct. 1773 in Pau En Bearn,France. He died 27, June 1841 St. Louis. His parents were Jean Cabanne and Jeanne Dutilhe.
They lived in town some 20 years while Jean Pierre was engaged in merchandising. When Charles Sr. died, 1819-20, they moved onto their inheritance and built a brick residence on the eastern edge of the tract.(# 3052?).Jean Pierre wanted to put his whole attention to the Fur Business, which would require him to be away for long periods of time. They had eight children, the oldest not yet being fifteen.
This home became known as the old “Cabanne Mansion”, the first brick house built in the country outside the old town, consequently made with “Pioneer Brick”. It was known to almost the whole population of the county far and wide. With its quaint old wind mill and out houses, could be seen from a long distance in all directions except the west, where the primeval forest hid it from view.
Occupied by that family, father and son, for near half a century, and noted for their hospitality and generous mode of living, had been the scene of many a gay and joyous occasion. Its location was on the west side of Kingshighway, just opposite the west end of a proposed new wide road from Vandeventer to Forest Park which was to be called Forest Park Boulevard. It lay about half way between Laclede and the little angle of the park at what is now Barnes Hospital.
They resided in this home for some twelve or fifteen years until 1833, when they built a city residence at No.28 Vine Street, in which Jean Pierre died at about the age of 68 years. The home stayed in the family for near half a century from Father to Son. Their children, John Charles, Francis, and possibly one other (L.B.?)show on my oldest map as located on Kingshighway, just north of the old tract.
By the 1850’s, one third of Julies inheritance was in the hands of Alban H.Glasby, from Kingshighway west. (Included the house?). This, later must have reverted back to the Park.
The children of Julie Gratiot and Jean Pierre Cabanne were:

She married Sylvestre Labbadie on JUNE 1807 IN St. Louis Old Cathedral.
He was born 19,Feb.1779 in St. Louis, Died 19,July 1794 in St. Louis
His Parents were Sylvestre Labbadie B. Abt.1756,and Marie Pelagie Chouteau B. 6,Oct.1760.
Marie Pelagie was the daughter of Pierre DeLaclede and Marie Therese Bourgeous.
The children of Victoire Gratiot and Sylvestre Labbadie were: Marie Ann L.Born.9,Nov.1808, Virginia, Benjamin, Son Labbadie, and Pelagie
Of course, this needs more. Reminds me of the Labbadie Plant.
Victoire’s Inheritance, by 1850 belonged to Peter Lindell, Bartholomew Berthold, Pierre Chouteau, and H.H.Cohen.
The children count has a glitch. Only one supposedly survived childhood out of three. There are four here. Now Five SEE THIRD GENERATION
FROM A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH BOOK UNKNOWN (POSSIBLY CHOUTEAU FAMILY BOOK) PLUS
The oldest of four sons, Charles Gratiot Jr. was born Aug.29,1786 in St. Louis, and Christened in St. Louis King Fr. St. Louis. Charles married Ann Belin on 22,Apr.1819. She was born in 1799, and died in St. Louis 26,Dec.1886, aged 87years.
He Died 16,May 1868 in Washington City.
He was appointed to the Military Academy at West Point, from which he graduated in 1806, and was assigned to the Corps of Engineers as Second Lieutenant in Oct,1806. Promoted to Captain in 1808. To Major Feb,1815. To Lieutenant Colonel in March,1819. To Colonel and Engineer in Chief in May,1828.
He served throughout the war of 1812-1815. On the western frontier, he built Fort Gratiot at the foot of Lake Huron in Michigan. He planned and superintended the erection of Fortress Monroe, where he was stationed many years. This was at old Point Comfort on the Chesapeake Bay. This Fortress stands today (1884), as the most extensive and important fortification on the American Continent. It remains as an enduring monument to the skill and scientific accomplishments of Gen. Charles Gratiot. He was retired from the Army in 1838.(This was written in 1884).(Also remember something about irregular activity about the building one of these forts. Can’t remember where I read that).
Michigan named one of its large and important counties after him.(Gratiot County).
The Children of Charles Gratiot and Ann Berlin were: Two daughters Mary Victoria, Born 17,Feb.1820. She married C.F.F. DeMontholon from France, 1,Nov.1837, and Julia Augusta, Born 24,Sept.1824. She married Charles P.Chouteau of St. Louis 27,Nov. 1845. SEE THIRD GENERATION
By the 1850’s the owners of Charles Juniors inheritance were: William Christy,Thomas Hume, Armstrong, Thrusten Polk, S.T.Kusler, Sarpy& Chouteau, James Meagher, Rideway, & Charles Rannels.
She was born 20,Feb.1788 in St. Louis and Christened at St. Louis King France,St. Louis, and died 26,Feb.1815 in St.Genevieve,Mo.
She married John Nicholas Macklot 16,Aug.1806.
He was born 18,June 1767 in the city of Metz, Loraine, France. He was the son of John Maclot DeColigny and Anne Marguerite Francoise Joly DeMorney. When a young man about of age, he came to Paris during the troublesome times preceding the breakout of the revolution. He soon found himself one of the hundreds that were almost daily incarcerated in the Bastile for their political views and sentiments.
After a brief imprisonment he obtained his release and immediately left France and crossed over to London. Here having been always fond of jewelry, he learned the business as a means of support, and worked at it for some years. He then crossed the ocean to the United States and spent some years in Philadelphia.
In the year 1804 he came to St. Louis with a stock of goods and embarked in Mercantile business, then married Marie Therese.
Early in the year 1809, after the town of Herculaneum had been laid out by Austin and Bates, and had gotten a start, Maclot erected a tower for the manufacture of patent shot and bar lead. This was on the high cliff at the south end of the village, and thirty two miles below St. Louis in Jefferson County. The first shot works in Missouri? Need Pg.178.
The Children of Marie Therese Gratiot and John Nicholas Macklot were: Julie (Julia), Emilie, Virginia and Elizabeth. SEE THIRD GENERATION.
By 1830, I’m sure William Sublette owned half Maries inheritance as part of his Sulphur Springs Resort. And sometime after her death, James Berry Jr. bought a large section. This went to McCausland. Later B.F.Buchanan owned it. Then on the western end C.S.Rannels in the 1850s, and James Sutton in the 1860s.
The second son, Henry was born in St. Louis, Apr.25,1789. He Died 27,Apr.1836 in Barnum’s Hotel in Baltimore, Md.
He married Susan Hempstead in St. Louis Jan.21,1813. At the Old Cathedral.
Susan Hempstead was born in Hebron, Connecticut Feb.20,1797, and died 3,June 1854. She was the youngest daughter of Captain Stephen Hempstead Sr. and Mary Lewis. (Next, Per Biographical Sketch)(Another source states Born and Married in New London Connecticut).
When a young man, Henry built (Or Rebuilt) a house and improved a farm on his fathers “Gratiot League Square” on the King’s Highway, five miles from Town where he lived for some years, previous and after his marriage. I have a picture of their home. He either lived in the old country home, or rebuilt it in 1810.
By 1825, being a young man with a wife and five children, and hating slavery so much, he determined not to live in or bring up his children in a slave state. That year he and his brother John Pierre joined the rush and departed for the lead mines at Fevre River.
In 1826 he brought his family there. The Winnebago Indians had originally found the lead ore, and tried to keep it a secret from the whites, but one told Henry about it. To keep the spirits appeased, he would not say where but shot an arrow to the spot and said that was where the secret lay, or in so many words. (This may be a fable, who knows?). The other Winnebago’s chased Henry off, but the Gratiots had a friend in a Half Breed woman named Catherine Myott who helped them negotiate with the Indians to mine the ore.
They were very successful and moved to a beautiful spot which became “Gratiots Grove”. They had nine furnaces, and everyone from miles around brought their ore to be smelted. The grove became a settlement of 1500. It was a lovely town considered then to be in Illinois, fifteen miles from Galena, 20 miles east of the Mississippi River. It was a bustling, happy place until the Black Hawk War of 1832.
Somehow the Indians fully trusted Henry, especially the Winnebago who claimed all southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois as theirs. After the war Col.Henry Gratiot obtained an unbounded control and influence over the Indians.(He became an Indian-Agent).
Col.Gratiot was called to Washington and received great honor, but while there he contracted a sudden and severe cold. He left for home before he was really ready to travel. By the time he reached Baltimore he was worse. He died in the Barnum’s Hotel Apr.27,1836, at the age of 47.(From the book “Henry Gratiot, A Pioneer of Wisconsin”). An address on the occasion of the presentation of his portrait to the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. By E.B. Washburne of Illinois. (Not sure of info being in this book)Wish I had kept better tract of the books I read. Some of this info was from a Biographical Sketch.
The children of Henry Gratiot and Susan Hempstead were: Charles Hempstead, Edward Hempstead, Susan Victoire, Mary, Henry, Adele, William Hempstead, Stephen Hempstead, and Eliza Hempstead. SEE THIRD GENERATION.
By the 1830s Henrys inheritance from Kingshighway to Tamm owned by William Sublette, and from Tamm to the City Limits, possibly the Glades Tract (Glades Family).and later in the 1850s by R.D.Watson from Tamm to the City Limits or McCausland, then James McCausland to Big Bend. Henry also had donated ground for St.James Church. Need to find this item again to pinpoint area.
The fourth daughter of Charles and Victoria Emilie Anne Born 25,Oct.1793 Died24,Aug.1862.
She married Pierre Cadette Chouteau 15,June 1813.
Pierre was born 19,Jan. 1865 He died 06,Oct.1865 or Sept.
The children of Emilie Ann Gratiot and Pierre Cadette Chouteau were: Emille, Julia, Pierre Charles, Charles Pierre, and Benjamin Wilson.
Pierre’s parents were Jean Pierre Liquest Chouteau and Pelagie Kiesereau.
It seems Emilies inheritance stayed in the family into the 1850’s, and possibly until the city bought it for the park. The boundaries were completely in the park with Oakland on the southern border. The property was listed on my old map as belonging to Pierre Chouteau.
The fifth daughter of Charles and Victoria Gratiot. She was born 15,Oct.1796 in St. Louis and died 13,July 1878 in St. Louis.
She married Jules Rene DeMun on 31,Mar.1812 in St.L.
Jules was born 25,Apr.1782 in the Caribbean,Dominican Republic and died 10,Aug.1843
Jules went on a trading expedition in 1816 to Santa Fe and Chihuahua where they were robbed of their goods and imprisoned for two years, when by the demand of the U.S. They were released in 1818. By 1819 Jules had charge of John Mullamphy’s store in St. Louis. Then in 1820 with his wife and three girls, went to Cuba where he cultivated coffee for ten years. They returned to the U.S. in Jan.1831.
They had five daughters: Isabella, Julia, Louisa, Emilie, and Clare.(SEE THIRD GENERATION)
Isabell’s Inheritance lay in Forest Park, and seemed to stay in the family, at least until the 1850’s. And possibly until the 1870’s when sold to the city.
The third son of Charles Gratiot Sr. Born 19,Feb.1799 St. Louis and Christened in St.L.King Fr. St.L. (Per Carl Pfountz-“St. Louis King of France Parish in St. Louis”- Old Cathedral).
Died 7,Apr.1871 in St. Louis.(Another source puts the year at 1876 Think Wrong).
He completed his education at the College at Bardstown, Ky in 1818.
On 18,Nov.1819 he married (Change) Adele Marie Antoinette DePerdreauville, a young lady from Paris whose parents had left France after the abdication of Napoleon, succeding the battle of Waterloo.(See Below)
Adele Marie Antionette DePerdreauville Born 25,Oct.1802 in LaMeillerais,Normandie Province,France. Died 4,Sept.1873 in Washington,Arkansas.
Her parents were Rene E. David DePerdreauville and Marie Victoire Adele LeMasurier. Her Grand Mother, “Marie Antonette”,(Queen of France) born Nov.2,1775. She died at the Guilliteen in Oct.16,1793. Her children were taken away.(Found this on the Internet).
Also: Per Webster’s Dictionary.
“Marie Antonette” was the wife King Louis the XVI; Queen of France (1774-92): Daughter of Maria Theresa: 1717-80; Archduchess of Austria: Wife of Francis I (1708-65, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire: Dowager Empress 1765-80: Queen of Bohemia and Hungary: 1740-80: Mother of Marie Antoinette.
This may be why Charles named the road “Kings Highway”, After King Louis XVI. Also gives us a little touch of class. (MAY NOT). This was a bad time for France, Also why Charles’ Family left France. The King and Queen, both were beheaded. Need to check the history books again.
In 1825, John Pierre went with his brother Henry to the lead mines near Galena, Illinois where he was engaged in smelting lead mineral for a number of years.
About the year_____, he came back to St. Louis, removed to Washington County and settled on a farm, and representing that county in the State Legislature in ______.
John Pierre and Marie Antoinette had a large family of five sons and four daughters. They were: John Rene, Alexander, Stephanie Pauline, Nanette, Theodore, Adolphe, Marie Victoria, Anthony William. SEE THIRD GENERATION
By 1830, his inheritance from Kingshighway to Tamm belonged to William Sublette. Then in the 1850’s,From Tamm to McCausland, by James Prather, then from there to Big Bend by John Pierre himself.
He was the fourth son of Charles Gratiot Sr. B. Mar.13,1800 St. Louis. Chr. “Old Cathedral”
He Died 30,Aug.1855 in St. Louis at age 55Yrs.
He married Virginia Jeanne Billon 6,June 1825 in St. Louis King Fr.St. Louis.
She was Born 19,May 1805 in Philadelphia Pa. Died 29,Nov.1871 at 66Yrs.
Paul Benjamin returned from college at Bardstown, Kentucky with his brother John in 1818. He was employed as a clerk in the house of Berthold & Chouteau for some years. In 1823 he entered into an engagement with the American Fur Co. to act as a clerk of the company in the fur trade of the upper Missouri. (Another note stated 1829 to 1830 in Michigan territory, he was a member of the firm of Gratiot and Terry, doing business at Diamond Grove, Iowa County.
On the expiration of his engagement with the fur company, he removed with his family to Gratiot Grove, where his brothers Henry and John were smelting lead, and engaged in mining for a few years. In 1832 he returned to St. Louis, and removed out to his farm. This was his part of Gratiot League Square, five miles out from the city, and now called Cheltenham. He lived here the balance of his life.
This may account for the time span of 1832/1838. They lived in a log cabin, then the mansion later if I remember right.
The Gratiot “Mansion” was built by Paul Benjamin 1838-40 at the location of 6135 Victoria on ten acres fronting on Cheltenham Ave.(West Park) to a line which would now be Berthold with Centre Rd.(Graham) on the west and Billon(Hampton ) on the east. He moved onto his inheritance in 1832 where he lived until the house was built. This property was still in the family until 1937.(Per Mrs. Bertha Gratiot Blythe)
In 1851 to 1853 he was one of the Judges of the County Court.
The Children of Paul Benjamin Gratiot and Virginia Jeanne Billon were: Charles Billon, Henry Terry, Victoria Sophia, John Sarpy, Isabelle Emilie, Paul Adolph. SEE THIRD GENERATION.
NOTE: By 1830, I believe William Sublette owned at least to Sublette. This is hard to explain. My old map shows Pierre Chouteau owning from Kingshighway to Tamm in the 1850’s, and Henry Gratiot with a small plot west of Tamm. Then Paul M Gratiot from there to Big Bend.
According to my 1878 map, the mansion was from Hampton to Centre Rd. and West Park to Wise, so it would be in the area of Pierre Chouteau’s land of the 1850s. So the old map must be wrong, since Paul Benjamin died in 1855, and Virginia died in 1871.
