"Son of Jean Baptiste Trudeau and Madeleine Trudeau." That J-B died in 1827; we was a voyageur and schoolteacher, author of A Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri. He was not killed in an Indian skirmish, he died an old man in Saint Louis. Given timing, IF this Jean Baptiste survivor of the Donner Party is descended from the older Jean Baptiste, there must be an intervening generation.
