Robidoux family

The Robidoux family played a major role in settling Canada and America from the 17th to the 19th centuries. This family was instrumental in the history of New France and the expansion of American territories to such places as St. Joseph, Missouri, and San Bernardino, California. The descendants of the patriarch Manuel Robidoux are well known. They are discussed in Meriwether Lewis' journals, James Michener's book Centennial, and have been chronicled as traveling with frontiersman Kit Carson, as referenced below.
