Ilstanne listers - I'm passing on these messages about Toussaint CHARBONNEAU, father of SACAGAWEA's child (she traditionally served as guide and interpeter for Lewis and Clark on their expedition), as I recall that we wee discussing this some months ago. I think there were more messages, about what happened to the child, "Pompey" - I'll send them if there is interest. Is there a St. Anne tie-in with this family?

This was the last entry about Charbonneau discovered thus far to appear in the official records. It is thought that he died sometime around the year 1843 at about 86 years of age, for it was in that year that his estate was settled by his son Jean Baptiste.
