"Revolutionary War veteran.
Old Old JB was one of the two guides for Rogers overland trip to

"Our French Blood could not speak or write their language (I
believe Harry meant to say they could not speak or write Englsih. Tom)
until 1900s Knowing this one our
early Jean Baptiste was a Captain of the Militia. This dude was the
absolute ruler of CIVIL and military for the area . His bride was also
a
Captain of the Militia daugther and they all signed the paper with
XXXXXX
!!!!!!!"
The marriage was on 3 February 1749, and their first child was a boy
named JEAN BAPTISTE born 24 November 1749.
Jean Baptiste Montreuil (Jean Baptiste 1749) was our ancestor who
returned to Kaskaskia to claim land and past homesteads. This was an
impossible task for the now government officials, military leaders and
wealthy merchants there began at French Kaskaskia a social life. On a
modest scale, the gay life of the royal court at Versailles made
Kaskaskia referred to as the âVersailles of the Westâ. This
captured the fancy of the King of France, Louis XV, who in the year
1741 presented Kaskaskia with a church bell which is still preserved
today. The bell has the inscription in French translated (For the
Church of the Illinois, with the compliments of the King from beyond
the sea).
Prior to the Revolutionary War, several countries and all of the
colonies, including the Commonwealth of Virginia, were actively
acquiring land. The Commonwealth of Virginia tried to establish control
of lands to the west of them moving into the heartland in order to
facilitate the growth of the commonwealth. Following is a quote from
Dr. Belesiâs book: âThe British made a few attempts to stop
the French from reclaiming the Ohio Valley.â One of these
attempts failed and further damaged the already poor relationship
between the French and the British. Dr. Belesi goes on further to
state: âLieutenant-Colonel George Washington was leading a
sizable detachment sent to challenge the French claims when it came
into contact with âa small party of thirty-three men led by
Ensign Joseph Coulon de Villiers de Jumonville (sent) to meet them and
deliver a summons requiring them to retire or suffer the
consequencesâ.â Washington surrounded the French party and
fired the first shot May 28, 1754 of a war yet to be declared.
Washington was immediately besieged by a superior French force.
âWashington was forced to surrender and accept a return to
Virginia with his disarmed troops, after having signed a document
acknowledging responsibility for âlâassasinatâ (the
murder)â. Washington had killed ten Frenchmen including Ensign
Jumonville. Virginia then commissioned George Rogers Clark as
Lieutenant Colonel. On July 4, 1778 Clark and 175 men came to Kaskaskia
to feel out the French for their support of the Revolutionary War.
Clarkâs men, along with French helpers, went to all villages and
Fort de Chartre gaining their support. Three soldiers along with French
guides went to Peoria to gain more support. The British were trying to
reinforce Vincennes, and it was essential for Clark to move, attack and
take Vincennes. Clark received financial help and two guides to take
his 172 men overland to Vincennes. This trip on foot could be made in
three days. One of the guides was Jean Baptiste Montreuil from the
original family of Kaskaskia along with Alexis Doza. Jean Baptiste 1749
was one of the first French veterans to receive his grant of 400 acres.
âThe French were bewildered by the Americansâ behavior,
their disregard for the law and lack of respect for authority.â
The low-life men of Clarkâs force slaughtered milk cattle,
considered Catholics their enemy, and the only good Indian was a dead
one.
