In 1799 14-year-old Nicholas III moved with his father's family to the new settlement of St. Michael's, which in 1814 was swept away by a flood and moved a little ways up the hill to became Fredericktown, and in 1818 it became part of Madison County. (So his marriage in 1804 probably took place in St. Michael's, Ste. Genevieve Co).
Nov 13, 1804 he married Cecile Chevallier in Ste. Genevieve, Mo.
When the War of 1812 broke out Nicholas III would have been 27 years old. George F. Bollinger recruited local troops for the war, and it's likely that Nicholas had some part in it.
He was 33 years old when Madison County was organized and separated from Ste. Genevieve.
Nicholas was living in Liberty twp (SW corner) Madison Co, Mo in 1830 with 10 children, along with his step-mother-in-law, Pelagie Caillot Chevallier, who was also his father's sister.
Deposition from 1833: "Nicholas Lachance, alias Nich. Caillote Lachance: filed a claim to 640 acres of land situated on the waters of St. Francis. His uncle Francois Caillotte Lachance aged about 66 years . . . saith that he has resided in this country about 46 years. That he is well acquainted with the claimant who came to this county, then the province of Upper Louisiana, about 43 or 44 years ago. This witness, further says that he knows the land claimed that the claimant settled on the same some 31 years ago, and while the country yet belonged to Spain, that he made a cabbin (sic) on the same and made sugar on the land at that time. That in one or two years after he built the cabbin, the claimant moved and settled and that he continued to claim the said land, till one Charles L. Bird pretended he had a concession for the land and compelled him to go off. That he has continued a citizen of the country and cultivator of the soil ever since. Sworn May 31, 1833. Signed F. Calliote Lachance"
"Also came Michel Caillote Lachance, a witness aged about 62 years who after having heard... the above deposition... that he know ... the statements ... are just and true." May 31, 1833. Signed "Michel (X his mark) Caillote Lachance"
It appears later that the Board did not approve Nicholas' claim to this land.
[document from "Citizens of Missouri" by Ingmire, Vol 3, p 114]
His wife died in 1847 and he was still in Madison Co., MO in 1850 living with his daughter Louisa and her husband Francois Caillot LaChance.
Since his wife was buried in St. Michael's Cem in Fredericktown, he probably was laid beside her.
