Antoine St. Charles Janis1 (M)
(December 10, 1797 - 1840), #70
Pop-up Pedigree

     Antoine was born at St. Charles Co., Mississippi, USA, on December 10, 1797.2 He was the son of Antoine Janis Sr. and Mary Louise Dany.2 Antoine St. Charles Janis was baptized on December 27, 1798 at St. Charles Borromeo Church Parish, St. Charles, St. Charles Co., Missouri, USA; |St. Charles Borromeo|.2 He married Marguerite Thibaut at St. Charles Borromeo Church Parish, St. Charles, St. Charles Co., Missouri, USA, on May 31, 1818.2 Antoine's occupation: engage at Rocky Mountain Region in 1824. "In 1824, Antoine St. Charles Janis appears to have gone to the Rocky Mountains with H. Ashley's men were the cache on the Cache la Poudre. Ashley's men were camped from Feb 4 to 25, 1825, at the mouth of that river, making "excursions in different directions from our camp", as Ashley wrote. 7

[Dale L. Morgan, The West of William H. Ashley (Denver, 1964), 103.]
     Ashley says nothing about a cache, but A. G. Boone, one of his men, was reported to have said that the Cache la Poudre was named when Ashley's men hid powder under the bank of the river as a temporary deposit "while making short excursions of trade."8 [F. W. Cragin's notes of an interview with Otis B. Spencer, Denver, Sept. 18, 1903, Cragin Collection, Pioneer's Museum, Colorado Springs, Colo. Boone said he came west with Ashley in 1824 at the age of 18 (Cragin's notes of interviews with Mrs. Van Daniel Boone, Walsenburg, Colo., Dec. 7, 1907; with A. W. Archibald, Trinidad, Colo., Dec. 25, 1907; and with George Whitehead, Denver, Oct 21, 1903, Cragin Collection)]
      In later years, Antoine Janis the younger pointed out a large depression near Bellevue, Colorado, saying the "his father helped dig it in the night, carrying the dirt to the river to keep the Indians from knowing where they cached their powder and lead and surplus goods which they didn't want to take to Brown's Hole on Green River where they were going." 9.
[Cragin's notes of an interview with Abner Loomis, Fort Collins, Dec. 4, 1903, Cragin Collection. Ansel Watrous (Larimer County, p. 44) says the cache was made by the younger Janis, then twelve years old, and his father and a large company of American Fur Company trappers with heavily loaded wagons on their way to Green River in November, 1836. Aside from other absurdities in the story such as the wagons, the season and the route, the Cache la Poudre already had its name by 1836 (see "Colonel Dodge's Journal," H. Doc. 181, 24 Cong., I sess., ser. 289, p. 18) and Janis the younger said himself that he first came to Colorado in 1844 (letter of Antoine Janis, Pine Ridge Agency, March 17, 1883, in Watrous, Larimer County, 44).
. Antoine's occupation: engage at Great Salt Lake, Davis Co., Utah, USA, in 1827. Antoine St. Charles Janis was again an engage' of Ashley in 1827, when the trappers spent the summer near the Great Salt Lake. Janis was paid the highest wages in the company except for the two leaders, showing his superior experience and capability.10 [Morgan, William H. Ashley, 165, 172.]. Antoine's occupation: Trader at Rocky Mountain Region after 1832.      Although there are sundry records of Antoine St. Charles Janis at home in St. Charles, 11 [St. Charles (Mo.) County Records.] There are even more to show that he was a mountain man until he died. In 1832 he came to the mountains with William Sublette and a Rocky Mountain Fur Company brigade, and was at the famous rendezvous at Pierre's Hole that summer. 12Sublette's license dated April 25, 1832, lists Janis, as do his accounts from July 1832 until Sept. 1833 (Sublette Papers, Missouri Hist. Soc.) He returned to St. Charles and left again in May 1833, with Robert Campbell and another Rocky Mountain Fur Company brigade. In the fall he built a post fifty miles up the Missouri from the mouth of the Yellowstone at "Frenchman's Point," where, during the winter, he was robbed and nearly murdered by some drunken half-breed of the notorious Deschamps family.. He resided at Big Thompson Creek, Colorado, USA, after 1836. The caching-of-the-powder incident, which gave the stream its name, probably occurred in 1836. Antoine Janis, first settler in the river valley, had been an early trapper and trader in the region. He said that in 1836, as a boy of twelve, he accompanied his father and the party that was detained by a snowstorm and forced to cache some of their supplies, including much powder, beside the river.... [Hafen, LeRoy R., "With fur traders in Colorado, 1839-40 The journal of E. Willard Smith" Colorado Magazine, XXVII, no. 3 (July 1950), pg. 172, n31.]

     "An Antoine Janis is cited in Mountain Men, as living along the Big Thompson Creek were the Oregon Trail or Stage road (crossed at the Mariano Medina Trading Post and toll bridge, later called Namaqua [a marker was place at the site in 1931 by the State Historical Society of Colorado] from Fort Collins to Denver, three miles west of the present town of Loveland Colorado.".
     3,3.1,3 Antoine's occupation: at Rocky Mountain Region, USA, after 1837. From 1837 to 1839 he had an account with the American Fur Company, to which he attached himself after the demise of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company.. Antoine died in 1840 at Yellowstone River Region, USA. According to family tradition, he was killed by Blackfeet on the Yellowstone River in about 1840. [Hafen, LeRoy R., ed. Mountain Men and the Fur Trade of the Far West, VII, pg. 193-201, (1971) " Antoine Janis", by Janet Lecompte].3
