Résumé
Ferdinand Rozier, issu d’une famille de négociants nantais, a migré vers les États-Unis en 1806. Après quelques années sur la côte Est et dans le Kentucky, il a, en 1811, fondé une famille avec une Créole, Constance Roy, à Sainte-Geneviève, dans le Missouri. Nous étudions dans cet article son itinéraire et celui de ses enfants, à partir d’une approche microhistorique qui replace Rozier en contexte et recrée les solidarités ainsi que les réseaux qui lui permettent de construire sa vie et celle de sa descendance. Cette analyse nous conduira à une réflexion globale sur les notions d’Amérique française et de communauté.
Abstract
Ferdinand Rozier has been raised in a merchant family in Nantes, but he migrated to the United States in 1806. After some years on the East Coast and Kentucky, in 1811 he settled in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, and married a Creole, Constance Roy. This article scrutinizes his life and the lives of his children and through a microhistorical approach that sheds light on global phenomena and more precisely the two concepts of French America and community. Rozier is imagined here as a part of large networks and multiple identities, and he could have invented his own life using all of them.
