The house on the corner of Fifth and Washington (in Ste. Genevieve) was built about 1785 by Auguste Aubuchon. Auguste was born Nov. 3, 1774 the son of Augustine Aubuchon and Theresa Lalumondiere. They were very early residents of Ste. Genevieve and were married here on Jan. 17, 1774 and had 13 children; the descendants of these children still live in the Ste. Genevieve area. This branch of the Aubuchon family trace their ancestry to Jean Aubuchon and Jeanne Gillie of St. Jacques de Dieppe Normandie, Marchand, France.

Jean-Baptiste Lasource's wife and the mother of the three young men represented in Jean-Baptiste's petition to Macarty, was Marie-Francoise Rivard. It seems likely that she was the sister of the earlier petitioner, Francois Rivard. Since all four petitioners were granted their requests for land, Francois and these three nephews became neighboring pioneers in the emerging village of Ste. Genevieve. One of the nephews, Dominique Lasource, later married Elizabeth Aubuchon, daughter of another pioneer settler, Antoine Aubuchon.

The following is a recount of the theft of an Indian slave owned by Elizabeth Aubuchon, stolen by Céledon. Céledon was, at the time, under suspision for theft and murder of another Indian slave woman."Then a month later, in April 1773 Céledon struck again, not to regain his belongings that remained chez Larose but instead to get the woman that he wanted and needed as a companion and partner in the outback. On April 24 Francois Vallé and two witnesses went to the residence of Widow Aubuchon (Lasource) to collect information from the widow and a nine-year-old Indian slave boy. Widow Aubuchon recounted that on the night of April 20-21 her Indian slave, Marianne, was tethered with a chain in a locked and barred room of the Aubuchon residence where she was supposed to be sleeping with her nine-year-old son. On the morning of April 21, the widow discovered that the bars on the window of Marianne's room had been cut and that Marianne was gone, although her son was still there. (46)"
"46. Elizabeth Aubuchon Lasource's husband, Dominique Lasource, died in January 1773 (SGPR, Burials, Book 1:11), and it seems that the widow's brother, Antoine Aubuchon, then gave (or sold) her three Indian slaves - Marianne and her two sons, Baptiste and Louis. Those three Indians were listed on the Indian slave census of 1770 (SMV, pt. 1:168) as the property of Antoine Aubuchon."
"Commandant Vallé was also interested in Marianne in her own right and he routinely querried his deponents about their contacts with her. They informed him that Marianne was living with Céledon on the Black River and that both of them carried fisils, light muskets. Charles Boyer of Ste. Genevieve conversed with Marianne at a hunting camp and reported that she weepingly asked him about her two sons. Boyer told her that one remained with Widow Aubuchon and that the other had been placed chez Antoine Aubuchon, the widow's brother. There is no evidence that Marianne tried to retrieve her two boys, who were still slaves in Ste. Genevieve in 1778. Such a rescue mission would have been virtually assured of failure. 48"
"48. Widow Aubuchon sold both of the Indian Slave boys (Antoine Aubuchon Estate, January 1778, SGA, Estates, no. 4), back to her brother Antoine."

On Sunday, October 8, 1775, Francois Vallé appeared "at the issue of the Grand Mass" in front of the church door in the Old Town to announce the sale of the personal property of Guillaume Clouet, who had recently died and left no heirs in the community. The auction was to take place forthwith at Vallé's residence just up the "Grande Rue" from the parish church, where Clouet's belongings had been assembled and where "everyone will be received in order of bid." Louis Lasource bought a brown capot of Spanish wool for twenty livres; Francois Leclec two linen shirts for fifteen livres; Antoine Aubuchon three clay pipes and an Indian calumet for four livres; Francois Vallé himself a pair of deerskin culottes for forty livres. The auction at Vallé's house went on "until sunset" on that October afternoon, by which time "there was nothing left to put up for sale." Purchasers of goods were to make payment in good wheat. Clouet's property was sold for a total of 1,131 livres, much of which was used to cover the debts he had outstanding at the time of his death.

In the early 1780's, Antoine Aubuchon, a member of one of Ste. Genevieve's oldest (if not best) families began a liaison with a free black woman named Elizabeth. The records do not tell us, but it seems likely that Aubuchon purchased Elizabeth as a concubine and then emancipated her. Probably Elizabeth, "free negress," who appears on the 1787 census with her two sons was the mistress of Antoine Aubuchon. Before Antoine died in 1798 at age forty-eight, he and Elizabeth had had ten children, and in March of that year Elizabeth sued Antoine's estate on behalf of those mulatto children. In the settlement she collected thirty-five minots of wheat, ten minots of maize, a carbine and a rifle. This was not a munificent inheritance upon which to raise ten children, but in any case Elizabeth had been able to demonstrate to the judge (Delaussus de Luzieres in this case) that her children had been sired by Antoine Aubuchon and that they deserved a share of this estate.

West of Biltmore (a street in Ste. Genevieve) there stood a log house of horizontal logs, one of the few of this type in Ste. Genevieve, originally the home of Antoine Tonish Aubuchon and his wife Helene Roussin. They lived there in 1811 and later sold to Nicholas Roussin and Hyacinthe Placet, his wife. This house was destroyed by fire several years ago.

The vital records of the Church of Ste. Genevieve records Antoine Aubuchon's death as 25 February 1798 at the age of 48. This would confirm his birth date of abt. 1750.
The vital records of the Church of Ste. Genevieve recorded Jean Baptiste as 6 years of age at the time of his death in October 1773.
