People From St
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Soulard Farmers Market
Soulard Farmers Market is the oldest operating public market in St. Louis, Missouri in the Soulard neighborhood, and the only one operated by the city. It has a reputation of being the oldest public market in the United States west of the Mississippi River. History Beginnings In 1779, the market began at a flat meadow where farmers came to sell their goods. It was the third public marketplace in St. Louis. Antoine Soulard, who was born in 1766 in Rochefort, France, was an aristocrat and former French military officer who escaped France to avoid the consequences of the French Revolution. In 1795, he married Julia Cerré, whose father, Gabriel Cerré, received a grant from Spain for the land where the market was located in 1782. Gabriel Cerré gave his son-in-law Soulard a 122-acre plot of land that included the market area. In 1803, however, the Louisiana Purchase caused a legal battle over ownership of the land, until in 1836, when after Soulard’s death in 1825, his wido ...

Jean-Gabriel Cerré
Jean-Gabriel Cerré (August 12, 1734 – April 4, 1805) was a Quebec-born merchant in the Illinois Country and St. Louis. The son of Joseph Serré and Marie-Madeleine Picard, he was born in Montreal. Cerré established himself in Kaskaskia as a merchant in 1755 but retained business and personal connections with Montreal. He was pragmatic in his politics, supporting the British authorities while they were in control and transferring his loyalties to the Americans after George Rogers Clark seized control of the region. In 1779, he was named a justice of the peace for the district. However, the new government was not able to maintain order and, around the end of 1779, he moved to St. Louis, then under Spanish control. His business prospered and he became one of the wealthiest and most influential persons in the area. Control of the Louisiana territory later passed to France, who sold it to the United States in 1803. Cerré died in St. Louis two years later at the age of 70. Cerre ...

Marie "Julia" Soulard, née Cérre (1775–1845) was an American landowner. Soulard donated the land that hosts Soulard Farmers Market to the city of St. Louis, Missouri. Marie Julia Cérre was likely born at Kaskaskia in the Illinois Country, where her father, Montreal-born Gabriel Cérre, was a successful merchant. Her mother was Catherine Cérre, née Giard. Julia Cérre Soulard had an older sister, Marie Therese, who married Auguste Chouteau, the founder of St. Louis. Her father moved to St. Louis in 1779 or 1780, some fifteen years after St. Louis was founded and some time after he had taken possession of a significant amount of property in the region. In 1795, Julia Cérre married Antoine Pierre Soulard (1766–1825). Antoine Soulard, a refugee of the French Revolution, was working as the Surveyor-General of Upper Louisiana when St. Louis was in Spanish territory.

Illinois Country
The Illinois Country (french: Pays des Illinois ; , i.e. the Illinois people)—sometimes referred to as Upper Louisiana (french: Haute-Louisiane ; es, Alta Luisiana)—was a vast region of New France claimed in the 1600s in what is now the Midwestern United States. While these names generally referred to the entire Upper Mississippi River watershed, French colonial settlement was concentrated along the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers in what is now the U.S. states of Illinois and Missouri, with outposts in Indiana. Explored in 1673 from Green Bay to the Arkansas River by the ''Canadien'' expedition of Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette, the area was claimed by France. It was settled primarily from the ''Pays d'en Haut'' in the context of the fur trade, and in the establishment of missions by French Catholic religious orders. Over time, the fur trade took some French to the far reaches of the Rocky Mountains, especially along the branches of the broad Missouri River ...
