Henri de Ste-Gême was born at the Château de Bagen in
the parish of Sauveterre, near St Gaudens in the Province of
Languedoc, in south-west of France (nowadays in the village
of Sauveterre-de-Comminges, in the départment of HauteGaronne). As a nobleman, he was eligible for membership in
the Garde du Corps of the Comte d'Artois, brother of Louis
XVI and future Charles X. He joined the group and is said
to have emigrated with Artois in 1790. This presents a
problem, however, since the future king fled his brother's
palace at Versailles on the night of 16 July 1789. Whatever
the case, Ste-Gême made his peace with the French
Revolution, serving in the Republican armies. In time he
was sent to Saint Domingue. In the Comte d'Artois' carriage
at the time of the flight he was the Prince d' Hénin's chief
gentleman in waiting. The Prince is not to be confused with
the General d'Hénin, mentioned in several documents in the
collection, who was Ste-Gême's commanding officer for a time
in Saint Domingue. There were two generals on the island by
that name, Etienne Félix d'Hénin de Cuvillers (1755-1841)
and François Nivard Charles Joseph d'Hénin (1771-1847), both
of whom did stints on Saint Domingue while Henri de Ste-Gême
was there.
While still in Saint Domingue, Ste-Gême became involved
in privateering in the Caribbean Sea. As Paul Lachance has
written, he "had invested heavily in privateering
expeditions." In 1809, he came to New Orleans, bought a
sugar plantation in what is now Gentilly, and served in the
Louisiana Militia, commanding an elite unit known as the
Dragons à Pied. As a major, he served under General Andrew
Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans and received a
commendation. Jackson liked the "salty little French
rooster," who was all of five feet tall and who wore an
enormous plume in his cap, perhaps to enhance his small
stature. Growing and refining sugar was not Ste-Gême's only
source of revenue, it should be noted. In Louisiana he
continued his privateering ventures and was very involved
financially in the activities of Jean and Pierre Lafitte.
He married Marguerite Delmas, the widow of Louis Geoffroy
Dreux, and returned with her to France in 1818, where he
lived until his death. His plantation overseer and manager
Mss 100
continued to handle his affairs and wrote him newsy letters
detailing life in New Orleans.
The papers in the Ste-Gême Collection contain
correspondence to Henri de Ste-Gême and his son Anatole in
Bagen, France, from Ste-Gême's plantation overseer, Jean
Boze (1818-36), and manager, Auvignac Dorville (1818-73) in
Gentilly. The correspondence concerns Ste-Gême's affairs in
Louisiana, with descriptions of sugar manufacturing along
with detailed accounts of New Orleans social life, people,
and events. The collection also includes personal military
papers from service in Saint Domingue and the Louisiana
Militia (1802-16); financial papers concerning the Ste-Gême
property holdings, rents, and revenues in Louisiana (18451900); extracts from legal papers having to do with the
seizure of the ship Massena during a period of FrancoSpanish difficulties (1808-21); and New Orleans newspaper
clippings enclosed in letters from Boze (1830-37).
