THIS MAN NEVER LEFT FRANCE.
This man's son (by the same given name; junior, you might say) came to the colonies under the headright system (see link below and notes there in the Bio).
Note: The French name Beaubeaux became Anglicized in the colonies and appears in various phonetic spellings, eventually becoming Bobo.
Bobos have fought in every American war since the Revolution, including on both sides of the War Between the States. One was with Custer at his infamous "last stand". There are Bobos on the Vietnam Wall memorial and buried in Arlington. To date, one has been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. And for him a class of Naval vessel was named (look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USNS_2nd_Lt._John_P._Bobo).
