Saugrain-Michau Family Papers, 1776-1876

<P>Antoine Saugrain, physician and chemist, was born in Paris in 1763. Educated in France, he was sent to America in 1783 to examine the mineralogy of the country and its general natural history. Saugrain visited Paris in 1787 but returned to America that same year to live with other emigrants in the new settlement, Gallipolis, Ohio. He married Rosalie Michau in 1793; they had six children. In 1799, apparently a St. Louis resident, he was appointed surgeon of the military hospital, and later served as the post surgeon at Fort Bellefontaine. He devoted himself, in St. Louis, principally to medical practice, botany and chemistry. Dr. Saugrain, a descendent of book publishers and librarians, was a collector of books; his library (inventory of his estate in 1822 lists 450 volumes) was donated by his grandchildren, Morrison and Mary Elise Pettus, to the Missouri Historical Society in 1967.</P>
