MARUCHEAU
~ CCORDING to family
tradition, an ancestor
participated in the
Crusades; and Pier-
re de Marucheau (son
of Pierre), was a de-
scendant of the Vi-
zomtes de Marseilles
(of ancient and ro-
yal lineage). Pierre,
porn in France jin
about 1755, accom-
anied the expedition under Admiral De
Grasse, who after the defeat of the Brit-
ish at Yorktown, was ordered to the West
Indies to protect commerce and French
interests there. He was followed by the
British, and defeated off Dominica, near
St. Lucia, in 1781. Pierre de Marucheau

was made a prisoner and confined on board
a British gunboat, In the waters of the
West Indies parol was not considered ne-
cessary, owing to the abundance of man-
eating sharks, which would assure those
aboard, remaining there. Pierre de Maru-
cheau, however, with knife in mouth,
braved the mighty deep and sharks as
well, landing at St. Lucia, then a French
island. He worked his way into the sugar
industry, becoming very successful.
The first person seen by Pierre on the
island was a negro, who conducted him
to a French family, the Aquard. He mar-
ried Charlotte Aquard; they had: Charlot-
te, d. y.; Peter, Raymond, Clermont, An-
thony and Jules; all educated in Europe.
