Here's the parentage for "the wily Toussaint [Charboneau]" - as given by a Quebec lister. Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau (b. Aug 28, 1735) & Marguerite Deniau (b Apr 19, 1735) Their son was Toussaint Charbonneau (Mar 21, 1767 - died about 1843), married Sacagawea "Bird Woman" (born about 1787 - died Dec 22, 1812) Their son was Jean-Baptiste "Pompey" Charbonneau (b. Feb 11, 1805 on the trail to the Pacific. I have seen more about Pompey as an adult, but cannot find it now. Anyone know? The recent biography of Meriweather Lewis ("Undaunted Courage", or something like that -it was a best seller a few years ago) is terrific - highly recommended,
According to a program on the History Channel, J.B "Pomp" Charbonneau's education was funded by one of the explorers, and he eventually became a traveling companion of a European noble. > From: [email protected] > Reply-To: [email protected] > Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2003 01:01:57 EST > To: [email protected] > Subject: [ILSTANNE] Toussaint CHARBONEAU's parents > Resent-From: [email protected] > Resent-Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2003 23:01:57 -0700 > > > Here's the parentage for "the wily Toussaint [Charboneau]" - as given by a > Quebec lister. > > Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau (b.

Adding my 2 cents worth...here is what the History channel had to say. Sacajawea Sacajawea, Sacagawea, or Sakakawea, c.1784-1884?, Native North American woman guide on the Lewis and Clark expedition and the only woman to accompany the party. She is generally called the Bird Woman in English, although this translation has been challenged, and there has been much dispute about the form of her Native American name. She was a member of the Shoshone, had been captured and sold to a Mandan, and finally was traded to Toussaint Charbonneau, one of whose wives she became. He was interpreter for the expedition. She proved invaluable as a guide and interpreter when Lewis and Clark reached the upper Missouri River and the mountains from which she had come. On the return journey she and Charbonneau left (1806) the expedition at the Mandan villages. While some historians date Sacajawea's death around 1812, there are others who claim that she was discovered by a missionary in 1875 and that she actually died in Wyoming in 1884. See biography by H. P. Howard (1971). --- Jackie Doty <[email protected]> wrote: > According to a program on the History Channel, J.B > "Pomp" Charbonneau's > education was funded by one of the explorers, and he > eventually became a > traveling companion of a European noble. > > > From: [email protected] > > Reply-To: [email protected] > > Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2003 01:01:57 EST > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: [ILSTANNE] Toussaint CHARBONEAU's parents > > Resent-From: [email protected] > > Resent-Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2003 23:01:57 -0700 > > > > > > Here's the parentage for "the wily Toussaint > [Charboneau]" - as given by a > > Quebec lister. > > > > Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau (b.
