      1st Cpl. Carlos Roy; 26; Ilinueses; Habitant

      2nd Cpl. Pedro Bofrer; 35; Canada; Tailor

[LH Note: The name may stand for "Beaufrere" although no such name is found in the Archives, A Pierre Beaufre made claim to land in Vincennes in 1785,  and may be the same. It seems that his claim to the land in Vincennes was rejected because he arrived here after 1783, which would indicate that he might have resided in St Louis at the time this muster roll was made.]

      2nd Cpl. Francisco Honore; 17; Ilinueses; Tailor

[LH Note: He came from Fort de Chartres, and died in St. Louis, January 3,1784.  The Lamis were among the very first settlers of the Illinois country, and lived at Fort de Chartres before 1725, because on the 24th of November, 1725, "un garcon de legitime mariage Jean Nicolas Becquet et  de Catharine Baran, ses pere et mere" married the widow of one Lami on that  day as appears from one of the entries of the St. Anne church record.]

     Luis Crepo;  27; Canada;  Habitant

[LH Note: Louis Crepeau came from Vincennes to St. Louis. Josephine Crepeau, who married Eugenio Alvarez, may have been his sister.

     Juan Gilver; 48; France;  Potter;

[LH Note: Jean Gilbert, dit La Fontaine, or perhaps Montagne. In 1743 an Antoine Gilbert or Gibert, dit La Montagne, was a sergeant at Fort de Chartres in the "compagnie de Mimbret", but in 1746 he was said to be sergeant in another entry in the "Compagnie de M. de Grand Pre." Jean Gibert was married to Marie Josette Faveau, also a Fort de Chartres name. ]

     Joseph Jirar; 33; Canada; Rower

[LH Note: Joseph Girard. It may be that this name stands for Joseph Tibeau or Tibault, dit Girard.. ]

     Joseph Chartran; 38; Canada; Habitant

[LH Note: Joseph Chartran or Chartrand from St. Louis removed to St. Charles. In 1801 he received a grant at Charette, where he was syndic. The family came over from Kaskaskia. Amable Chartran was a resident of Cahokia in 1787. Originally the family came from Montreal and undoubtedly was among the first settlers of the Illinois country.  This Joseph Chartran seems to have had business relations with Des Bruisseau.]

     Joseph Rubidu; 36; Canada; Shoemaker

[LH Note: Jospeh Roubidoux or Robidou, became one of the principal merchants of St. Louis and an extensive fur trader. He was interested in the Spanish Commercial Company as one of the stockholders and opposed to the management of Clamorgan of the affairs of the company. He married Catharine Rollet, dit Laderoute.

     Pedro Belhumor; 30; Canada;  Rower

     Francisco Grene; 50; Canada;    Rower

[LH Note: Francois Fleury, dit Grenier. From the St. Louis Archives it would seem that he ahd some business with La Busciere. A Jospeh Grenier was a land claimant in the Kaskaskia land district. ]

     Pedro Jonca; 36; Canada; Rower

[LH Note: In 1787 a Joseph Jonka, who came from Canada, and son of Pierre Jonka and Marie Fournier married Marguerite Farkinpin.  A "Mendiase", i.e., a mendicant or beggar. A creek named "Jonca" in Ste. Genevieve and St. Francois counties, probably derived its name from this family. ]

     Nicolas Lacomble; 42; Canada; Cooper

[LH Note: A Nicolas Lacompte made a claim to land on Fifi creek, but his name does not appear in the St. Louis archives. ]

     Gregorio Guiersero;  28; Ilinueses; Habitant

[LH Note: This is probably Gregoire Kiercereau, junior. ]

     Baptista Lorenzo [Laurence?];  36; Canada; Currier

[LH Note: Spelled variously Lorin, Laurin, Lorain, or Lorenz.  The St. Louis Archives show that a Jean Baptiste Lorenzo gave Jean Marie Durand a power of attorney.  A Jospeh Lorens married Marguerite, the widow of Antoine Barada.  From the Cahokia records it appears that in 1787 for a debt he owed Tom Brady "the funds belonging to M. Lorens, farmer, on the Spanish side, now in possession of M. Jean Bapiste LaCroix, the value of a side of leather and a spur" were seized and the said La Croix forbidden "to dispossess himself thereof" until Lorens had satisfied the "said Tom Brady". This is probably the Baptiste Lorenzo named in this muster roll.]

     Pedro Cuzote;   22;  Nueva Orleans; Rower

     Luis Lemez;   30;  Nueva Orleans; Shoemaker

[LH Note: Louis Lemay, or Ouimet, came to St. Louis from St. Philippe. In 1782 he sued in the Cahokia court "for a plowshare, which had been taken from his plow by M. Cesirre under the alleged pretext that the said Lemay owed him fifteen francs." Alvord, Illinois Historical Collections, vol ii, p.133.  At this time Lemay lived at St. Philippe, perhaps having moved back to that place from St. Louis. In another case he was condemned to return some spokes he took from Jean Lapance "in the woods of the Big Mushrooms" ]

     Joseph Larduera; 33; Canada; Shoemaker

[LH Note: Joseph Laderoute, Antoine Laderoute, Jacques Laderoute, and Louis Laderoute came to St. Louis from Kaskaskia where they appear to have had claims for land. It is probable that they were not related to Rollet, dit Laderoute. ]

     Baptista Pety; 40; Canada; Rower
