Remind me: Who was Jean Baptiste Lorrain?
The root person of the Spies family tree is William Roland Spies of St. Louis, Missouri. His grandmother, Celia Overy Spies, is the person who was descended from several of the earliest settlers of Quebec. This chart shows four generations of Celia’s ancestors. Her grandmother was Therese Lorrain, and HER grandfather was Jean Baptiste Lorrain (b. about 1747).
Jean Baptiste Lorrain is a key person in this family tree because he was born in Canada, married in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, and died in St. Ferdinand, Missouri.
