I believe the Versailles Cemetery area is where they built the boat New Orleans.If your read about building of the New Orleans, the white pine lumber came from across the river at the Oliver Estate. The Oliver Estate is across the river from Versailles Cemetery.
In order to find everyone, you must know that Robert Fulton was married to Robert R Livingston's sister. That Alexander Hamilton was married to a cousin of Robert R Livingston.That Alexander Hamilton's mother was Rachael Fawcett.His great grandfather was Sir John Pollock.That the Roosevelt's were related to the Seton's of Elizabeth Seton.
It also important to know that Harry Lighthorse Lee, Col Alexander Hamilton and Caption Meriwether Lewis set up shop in Pittsburgh to crush the Pittsburgh Whiskey Rebellion in 1794.
Robert Fulton lived with the Pollock family on a farm in Canonsburg PA.The farm had a creek with EZ connection to the Ohio River. He later left the farm to study art in France under Benjamin West. I also believe Robert Fulton was close friends with Napoleon Bonaparte.Napoleon's brother Jerome married Elizabeth Patterson of Baltimore.The Patterson's are also at Versailles.
Robert Fulton's mother was Mary Smith and she was related to the Lewis family.
It's really the same group that built the Lewis and Clark boat in 1803.
I have an invoice out of the George Rogers Clark collection that says that Jacob Myers in 1780 built seven boats for General George Rogers Clark.The invoice says Thomas Jefferson was to pay for the boats and that they were to be picked up by Benjamin Harrison and William Shannon.
General George Rogers Clark was William Clark's 1/2 brother.
I am not sure where Henry Latrobe Roosevelt is buried although there are several people with the middle name of Roosevelt buried at Fairview.
As you go into your research, you will find the families who built the New Orleans and the families of Lewis and Clark.Historians are very clear about this.No one wants the Bonaparte's involved with these two projects out of Pittsburgh.
