Hello: I have some Calliott dit LaChance family in our tree - I understand that they helped settle St. Gen or St. Michaels or New Bourbon in Madison County - Does anyone have any information on this? I also have some family in River Aux Vases but couldn't find it on the map. Does anyone know about this town or river or even what it means? Thanks

Eric, ----- The information I have states that the Lachances came from New Bourbon and helped settle St. Michael's Village. Nicholas LaChance was my 4th great grandfather. My 3rd great grandfather, Peter Chevalier, also helped settle St. Michael 's and my info indicates that he came from Aux Vase but I don't where the heck it is or was. Jim Brookes St. Ann, Mo.
