Jean Baptiste Brulè

From Laurel Katernick

Jean Baptiste Brulè fits in my tree.  He was married to a woman named Margaret.  Their son, Joseph Thomas Brulè was married to Mary Ann Marshelle.  After Joseph Thomas Brule's death in 1858 Mary Ann married Jean Baptiste Vautrin, who is brother to Francis Xavier Vautrin.  Francis Xavier Vautrin worked at Fort Langley.  Although Joseph Thomas went by the last name of Brulè, I do believe his father was really Jacques Iroquois. Jacques Iroquois was his mother's second husband after Jean Baptiste Brulè.

From P. Dennice Goudie

Joseph Brulè (Birth : Oregon, USA Death : 1858 Sooke, British Columbia, Canada), was first husband to Marie-Ann Maranda dit Le Frise.  During their marriage there were two children Ellen and Joseph Jr.

From Gerry Borden

Brulè was responsible for the big fire at the fort on April 11, 1840.  He may have been the blacksmith at the time and either did not bank the fire properly or failed to put it out.
