Biography
Louis Beaulieu de Monplaisir Chauvin was born in Montréal, Quebec in 1678. Louis Chauvin was baptized on 17 Feb 1678 at Notre-Dame de Montréal, Canada, Nouvelle-France. He was the son of Pierre Chauvin and Marthe Autreuil.[1][2][3] On the 1681 census the family is living in Montréal:
- Pierre Chauvin 50 ; Marie-Marthe (Dautreuil), sa femme, 45 ; enfants : Pierre 18, Barbe 16, Gilles 13, Michelle 12, Jacques 10, Joseph 8, Nicolas 6, Louis 4, Paul 2 ; 1 fusil ; 8 bêtes à cornes ; 55 arpents en valeur.[4]
Louis, his brothers and others formed a trading society in October 1716:
- OCTOBRE.
- Le 10.—Gabriel Baudreau dit Graveline, né à Montréal en 1666, fils d'Urbain Baudreau et de Marguerite Juillet, épouse en 1701 dans la même ville, Catherine Forestier. Nous le retrouvons formant avec MM. de Saint-Denis, de Léry, LaFresnière, Beaulieu et Derbanne, tous Canadiens, une société de commerce. Ils prennent aux magasins de M. Croissat, à qui Sa Majesté avait accordé, en 1713 , le commerce de la Louisiane pour dix ans, des marchandises au montant de 60,000 livres, dans le dessein de les vendre aux Espagnols du- nouveau royaume de Léon, et partent ensemble de la Mobile, le 10 octobre 1716. (Journal Histor. de l'Établissement des Français à la Louisiane, par Benard de la Harpe, pp. 374, 375, 376.) (pg 110)[5]
Louis Chauvin sieur de Beaulieu was engagé ouest (contracted for travel West) from 27 May 1701 to 3 June 1723.[3]
Jacques Nepveu avait épousé à Montréal, en 1695, Michelle Chauvin, dont trois frères, Joseph, Louis et Nicolas, s'établirent à la Louisiane et que l'on rencontre au recensement de 1724 sous les noms de Joseph Chauvin de Léry, Louis Chauvin de Beaulieu, et Nicolas Chauvin de la Fresnière. (L'Auteur.)-- Jacques Nepveu had married in Montreal, in 1695, Michelle Chauvin, whose three brothers, Joseph, Louis and Nicolas, settled in Louisiana and that one meets in the census of 1724 under the names of Joseph Chauvin de Léry, Louis Chauvin de Beaulieu, and Nicolas Chauvin de la Fresnière. (The Author.)[5]
Louis Chauvin de Beaulieu, son of Pierre dit Le Grand Pierre, married Charlotte Duval in 1724.[6]
Louis Chauvin died in 1730.[7]
Research notes
Jacques CHAUVIN de Charleville, Joseph CHAUVIN de Léry, Nicolas CHAUVIN de la Fresnière, Louis CHAUVIN de Beaulieu, les 4 frères étaient de très riches propriétaires en Louisiane, ayant à leur service plus de 175 esclaves, noirs ou sauvages[8]
Sieur de Beaulieu entered the fur trade in the early French period, and accompanied Antoine Lamothe-Cadillac to establish the first permanent settlement at Le Detroit on July 24, 1701. Plaques and statues in downtown Detroit celebrate the event, and the French-Canadian Heritage Society of Michigan has photographs of those statues on their website. On their site, the Society lists the names of these Frenchmen and informs us that the convoy included fifty French soldiers and some passengers: "Chacornac, baron de Jaonnes; Pierre Dugue, sieur de Boisbriant; Antoine Lamothe, fils [brother]; Alphonse Tonty, baron de Paludy; a Recollet priest, and Francois Vaillant de Gueslis, S.J." Images of these statues, and names of the gentlemen/voyageurs, are online at http://fchsm.habitant.org/plaque.html
Sieur de Beaulieu's actual name is Louis Chauvin, sieur de Beaulieu, and descendents of this man have told me that in the years I am searching for Beaulieu men, his descendents still used the Chauvin name.
There is a little more information on this site you might be interested in, if you can access it. When I tried today, the pages were not available. But the family trees of the persons who were in Detroit have been compiled into a document by Yves Drolet, a member of the societe genealoque canadienne-francais, and is supposedly available online at www.fchsm.habitant.org It is called "Genealogical Tables of the Quebec Noblesse from the 17th to the 19th Century," and comes in both French and English.
When I searched the U.S. French Catholic Church Records in the Drouin Collection on Ancestry.ca many years ago, I discovered that in 1752 Sieur de Beaulieu had an infant baptized; and that in 1753 the priest "baptized Catherine fille legitime of Sr. Beaulieu and de spouse francoise..." He appeared to be at Sault Ste Marie, and also seemed to be listed as a 'Commander pour le Roi." Later I found a translation of above document headed: Makinac, Ste-Anne; Copie "Wisconsin Historical." It read: "July 15, 1753, I administered holy Baptism to Catherine, legitimate daughter of Sieur Beaulieu and of his wife, Francoise, residing at Sault Ste Marie, born on April 18 last. The godfather was Mr. de Beaujeau, Captain Commanding for the King at this post; and the godmother Mlle Bourassa."
Sooner or later I will have to follow up on this man, to see if his boy children could have entered the fur trade using the name Beaulieu. You have to follow every lead.[9]
- Indian Tribes of the Lower Mississippi Valley and Adjacent Coast of the Gulf; John R. Swanton; Courier Corporation, Feb 20, 2013 pg 243 states that around 1730, Perrier sent Sieur de Coulonge, a Canadian, to the Akanasas, who were to assemble at the French fort at Natchez. The Sieur de Beaulieu embarked with him.

the plot of a movie and novel? That is certainly not considered a credible source. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Pimpernel shows no connection whatsoever to Louis Chauvin.

"July 15, 1753, I administered holy Baptism to Catherine, legitimate daughter of Sieur Beaulieu and of his wife, Francoise, residing at Sault Ste Marie, born on April 18 last.
Bartholomew blaise LeBlue also has this daughter who was baptized on the same record having her father recognized as the Commander pour le Roi...
At this time the King was just a boy a Lost child King Louie the 17th born Louis Charles Duke of Normandy...
Who's birth records seem to fit with Bart's supposed son Jean LeBleu..
Leblues family history have connections to Jean Leffite, who also has similar birth records and the same middle name as Jean Baptiste LeBLue....
Could it be that Jean LeBleu is King Louie the 17 and Captain Jean Leffite as well. who did rescue Charles sellier from exile, along side Bartholomew Blaise LeBlue?
It really distorts my family history when so many people want some sort of connection to these people and toss is their names out of wishful thinking, when records will and can determine these things based on intensive research others have already done, knowing that this information has been recently altered incorrectly that do not include a daughter as being a legitimate named Catherine.
It is evident by baptism records that this information is wrong and has been confused with someone else..
It's possible that King Louie could have been sent to the Americas and survived. It seems that Sieur de Coulonge was a wilderness guide and translator of Native American languages to French, and sieur de Beaulieu was his American born guard, who had a child before he was born named catherine LeBleu who was baptized on record and has all of her brothers and sisters with solid birth records except for one person Jean Baptiste leblue, which is another odd factor when researching birth records of these people.
Sorry but you gonna have to change this and correct it... Dates and all so they are correct to include Catherine Salier (formerly LeBleu)...but also may help solve some of history greatest wonders too... Having the information in the right place.... Just saying...
Well, just a quick look at your question, the Catherine you mention born in 1753 is daughter of the sieur Beaulieu and his wife Françoise in Sault-Sainte-Marie.
First, Louis' wife is named Charlotte, not Françoise. Second, per what you say Catherine in born in Sault-Sainte-Marie, which is either the one in Ontario or the one in Michigan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sault_Ste._Marie,_Ontario but in either case, a long way away from https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Nouvelle-Orl%C3%A9ans la Nouvelle-Orléans.
I don't know what sources you are using, but Catherine Lebleu who married Anselme Salier is here https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/LeBleu-63
As for the rest of the text you enter about King Louis XVII, where is that coming from please? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_XVII that poor boy died in France.
For me it's personal finding out the whys and how's it's part of me and made me who I am today, which starts to make sense, when you learn about who these people are why they did what they did to have it end up this way, and still have the feeling like I am missing something, that is a price of who I am, and the key to my being.
Cheers, Liz

I'm sorry but Luis Chauvin and Barhtomew Blaise LeBlue are the same person in fact, this was not an error but a clue...
Without this clue I would be lost in finding my self through my own family history, which this is a part of..
Its part of the truth, without it my life becomes a lie made by ignorance of possibilities.
Is it possible that Bart was infact also Luis.... But buis was not Bart, I say yes, as much as Luis was not sir Percy Blakney/ the Beaulieu...
I did a lot of reasearch, and this clue prooves the king Luis the 17 was infact rescued and that the people in the story of the Scarlet Pimpernel< some with villianized names altered to amuse and persuade the audience, were infact real and was based on true events.
1. What's with the weird display of the Louisiana and Quebec project boxes on this profile? Why do they say "Marie Gentils" when her name is nowhere in his data (not even as wife, since I disconnected her) ? 2. I disconnected her. She supposedly married him in 1710, in "Bardaux," New Orleans, which does not exist, and anyway her profile says she arrived in Louisiana in 1718. Every mention of her is with a husband named LeBleu, not Beaulieu.
When you disconnected Marie Gentils, did you forget to disconnect her son also? Barthélemy Lebleu is showing as son of this man and Marie Gentils still. As if he was illegitimate.

learning about some connection to the king in this way to my own family through the baptism of Catherine sallier LeBleu, under Luise Chauvin **Beaulieu de Monplaisir< the first clue to who louis Chauvin really was... Which is not the name here, as this name was part of a disguise used by the Beaulie to escape the French revolution along with "prisoners" who real name is one of many as he alternatively and by Originanality went by Bart, or Percy, I. Persuit of freedom and wealth away from riches<love...
Eventually leading to me being able to be born... What I can't be more thankful for..

by the way, in said notes is a reference made to Yves Drolet's tables de noblesse (nobility tables), someone misread a name somewhere, I have that reference and the dictionnary it is drawn from and there are no Chauvin de Beaulieu in there.
- A sister's brother Sainte-Marguerite, Jacques, married Michelle Chauvin, who had three brothers in Louisiana: Joseph Chauvin from Léry, Louis Chauvin de Beaulieu, Nicolas Chauvin de la Fresnière, all three very wealthy landlords with more than seventy-five slaves, black or wild. (wild = "sauvages" canada this term was attached to anyone with any "native blood-full/half/metis/etc)
The original of this "NOTE" can be read in French on bk pg. 46 /dgtl image pg 56 of 470.
