Jean Baptiste Dorral Desgrosseliers? 1804 St. Louis?
Hi,
I'm doing some history/land research for St. Louis MO.One of the early land owners of a lot in block 35 in St. Louis was apparently a Jean Baptiste Dorral Desgrosseliers (info from National Parks Serv.).He is believed to have purchased the land possibly from a Louis Marcheteau (Marcereau) dit Desnoyers and was the owner in 1804.
I need to know when Jean Baptiste Dorral Desgrosseliers sold the land and who he sold it to.I'm trying to establish the owners of the lot between 1804and 1816.
Block 35 was on the southeast corner of Second Street and Walnut in St. Louis.
Again, I'm researching the lotmentioned above rather than the families who owned it,so I don't have any other info on this family - not a descendent.There were later businesses on this lot etc.I'm working on a time line for some of those businesses and rentors.I'm glad to share what history info I have or will pass along anything I find later regarding the Desgrosseliers name.
Many thanks,
Karren A.
