Read More	Emilie was the daughter of Francois Saucier (1740-1821), commander at Portage des Sioux. Francois and his brother, Matthieu, founded the village of Portage des Sioux. Because of its location at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, it was considered an important location by the Spanish for a settlement and military post. Emilie Saucier married James Morrison circa 1800. Her sister, possibly half-sister, Eleanor, married Jesse Morrison and died in Iowa in 1856: Find A Grave Memorial# 107167464. Birth and death dates for Emilie Morrison, along with given name, are reported in Morrison family history and, therefore, remain speculative. Saucier himself was a native of the Illinois country, born near Fort de Chartres in 1740. His father, also named Francois Saucier, was a captain of the French marines, and under his direction Fort de Chartres was finished. In 1765, when Fort Massac was surrendered to the English, Francois Saucier, Junior, was in command there, and after the surrender removed to the west side of the Mississippi, then still in the French possession. Trudeau, in furtherance of the idea of establishing a village at Portage des Sioux, urged Saucier to quietly induce the creoles living on the American side of the river to settle near the post, and to encourage them by giving every facility to form a village, assinging to the settlers land near the same, so as "to enable them to live at ease and be forever content," and thus "to collect the greatest number of people." Soulard was ordered to be ready "on his first demand" to go to the spot "where it is fit the village in question should be," and to make a survey. Saucier was also assured, if he succeeded in accomplish- ing what Trudeau proposed, that this important service would be appreciated by the government. Saucier accordingly took up his residence at Portage des Sioux early in the spring of 1799, had the village laid out, induced many creoles to settle there and acted as commandant of the post until Louisiana was ceded to the United States. Soulard says that Saucier was the father of twenty-two children. He died August 6, I821, at the age of eighty-one years, in the village which he had founded.... For his services, ... Says the St. Charles "Missourian" of August 8, 1821, He was the founder of the village and one of the first settlers of upper Louisiana, he lived as he died, "beloved and respected." His five daughters married respectively: Colonel Pierre Menard, Colonel Pierre Chouteau, senior; James Morrison; Jesse Morrison and Jean Francois Perry. Francois Saucier's second wife was Francoise Nicolle Les Bois, widow of Charles Le Febvre, of Cahokia (A history of Missouri Vol. 2: from the earliest explorations and settlements until the admission of the state into the union Author: Houck, Louis, 1908 (p. 89)(MO Digital Library). possibly younger half-sister of Brigitte (Saucier) Chouteau, second wife of Pierre Chouteau: Find A Grave Memorial# 30823897
