A number of Vine and Olive grantees, for the most part former settlers on the grant, who, while retaining and even expanding their holdings, left it for the more comfortable surroundings of Mobile. The core of this group was the Chaudron-Stollenwerk-George clan, which soon established durable connections with the French elite of the city. Their shift to Mobile began in 1823, when Victoire George's niece and ward, Eugénie le Grand de Boislandry, and Sylvanie Chaudron went to the city to find matches far themselves. The following year Eugénie married Lazare Chieusse, a prominent local medical man who had recently been widowed. Sylvanic secured an cwen more advantageous match, to Adolphe Batré, a grantee himself and brother of Charles Batré, the prominent merchant and French consular agent at the port. s By 1825 or so, the resc of the George and Chaudron families had joined the young women in the city. Edouard George Jr. became a ship captain and, like his father, Edouard Chaudron, worked as a merchant, watchmaker, and jeweler. The family patriarch, Jean-Simon Chaudron, who was now approaching the age of seventy, continued his Masonic activities in Mobile. - Saugera, Reborn in America
