Bandelier was the first writer in English to identify this man as the Jean L’Archeveque of the illfated La Salle expedition. An account of his purchase from the Texas Indians by Governor Alonzo Leon is given by Palacio Rivas in his A Través de Los Siglos, published several years prior to Mr. Bandelier’s article appearing in the Nation, August 30, 1888, as follows: ‘‘Two months ago, while searching the archives of the Pueblo of Ka-Po or Santa Clara (New Mexico) for documents of historical import, in behalf of the Hemenway Southwestern Archaeological Expedition, my attention was drawn, among others, to the great number of manuscripts called in Spanish Diligencias matrimomiales. They are investigations made on the petition of parties applying for license to marry, and consist in the main of the application of him or her, and of the examination of witnesses in regard to the standing of the applicants, their relations towards each other, ete. Among these I found one at Santa Clara headed: ‘Ynformacion de Pedro Meusnier, frances.— 1699.’ The fact that Frenchmen should be found in New Mexico at such an early date, and in face of the stringent laws of Spain against the admittance of foreigners into the colonies, appeared interesting. My interest soon increased upon discovering that Meusnier had come over to America in the fleet commanded by ‘Monsieur de La Sala’ in 1684. This is testified to by two witnesses, one of whom signs himself Juan de Archeveque, while the other, rather illiterate, has not signed, but states in his deposition that he is a native of La Rochelle, and his name is given as ‘Santiago Groslee.’ Both these witnesses claim to have come over with Meusnier in the same fleet, and in the year 1684 also. Both Meusnier and Archeveque were in 1699 soldiers of the garrison of Santa Fe; Groslee was a resident of that town. ‘There was only one L’Archeveque in La Salle’s illfated expedition, and the evidence seemed quite conclu- sive that this was the one whose signature I had before me at Santa Clara. Mr. Parkman, to whom I communieated the fact, also inclined to the belief that he was the fellow who enticed La Salle into the fatal snare, while Groslee seemed to be Grollet, the sailor. I have since found the latter as Grolle and Groli in two official docu- |
