The St. Vrain family has origins deeply entrenched in French history, and a family tree that can be followed into the 1300s in France. Historical documents providing the familiar lineage are kept in the archives of the Missouri Historical Society (An outline of which can be found online http://www.mohistory.org/files/archives_guides/DelassusCollection.pdf in pdf file).
Pierre Charles DeHault DeLassus, Marquis of de Luziere, was born in the family home in the town of Bouchain, where his father and grandfather had been hereditary Mayors. Bouchain is located between Valenciennes and Cambrai, in the Nord Department of France.
In 1738, at the time of his birth, Bouchain was located in the 'County of French Hainault', half of which is in current Belgium, the other half, in France.
Marquis Pierre Charles DeHault DeLassus DeLuziere emigrated to the United States in 1790 to escape the French Revolution. Originally Marquis Pierre Charles de Hault Delassus and his wife Madame Domitile Josepha Dumont, Danzin de Beaufort, were natives Bouchaine, Northern France. Pierre was a Chevalier (Knight) within the Court and Cousin of King Louis XVI, and a Knight of the Grand Cross of the Royal Order of St. Michael.
After arriving in America the Marquis went by 'M. de Luziere'. He and his family first lived near modern Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and then attempted to establish a French colony in Gallipolis, Ohio. By 1793 the family's funds were depleting and they relocated yet again along the Missouri River. M. de Luziere went on and served as civil and military commander of the new settlement New Bourbon, for over ten years, before returning again to the Sainte Genevieve area of Missouri in 1804.
M. de Luziere died in 1806 and was buried in Memorial Cemetery, Sainte Genevieve, Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri, United States of America.
