    • Toussaint Benoit's is said to be the son of Alexander Benoit and Celeste Langois. However, no paper trail has been found for him prior to his marriage to Marguerite Taillon. Evidence is needed to identify his parents.

      Toussaint Benoit starts his will as “I, Toussaint Benoit, called Seraphin of St Louis County . . .”

      The Sikeston Herald (Sikeston, Missouri) mentions Toussaint Benoit as having “capitalized on the household failing of never having any bread for dinner and opened a bakery shop on north Second street in St. Louis on December 5, 1812.” (17 DEC 1945, p. 14, "Missouri Bakeries Over Century Old")
