Grave of Eleazer Williams
During the chaos of the French Revolution, numerous blue-bloods, nobles and their retainers managed to slip out of France. Escaping execution thru bribery, favors owed and disguise, they often left Europe itself and lived out their days in obscurity.
Williams was almost certainly not a child of the Sun King, probably just a anti-Jacobin priest or monk. He ended up serving the natives in and around Akweasne Reservation which straddles the border at St. Regis, Quebec and Hogansburg, New York. He is one of an handful of non-natives buried in this Hogansburg graveyard.
