JOHN KEATING
The greater part of American history had its origin in the Old World. It may not be known gen erally to what extent events in the history of France influenced the history of Potter County.
The man most intimately connected with the early history of
JOHN KEATING
Potter County was John Keating and because of this relationship a history of the Keating family Is appropriate.
The Keatings were an Irish family, originally of English descent, Henry Keating, the first of the name in the family record, lived within the so called English Pale in the 14th Century. His descendants were summoned to Parliament as Barons of the Realm. They suffered on account of their Catholic faith during Elizabeth's reign and again at the hands of Cromwell who deprived them of their possessions.
James Keating, a second son of the line of descent, lived in the 15th century. He was Grand Prior of the Order of Malta and one of the thirteen Brothers of St. George, an English Order of Chivalry, instituted in aid of the House of York during the War of the Roses. Geoffrey Keating lived in the 16th century and was the well known historian of Ireland. He was a brother of John Keating's great-great grandfather.
Byron Geoffrey Keating was a captain in the Irish Army at the Battle of Aughrim and the siege of Limerick in 1691. After the capitulation he was banished to France with his regiment which then took the name of the "Queen's Regiment" and formed part of the celebrated Irish Brigade. He served under Catinet in Italy and in the wars of Louis XIV. He returned to Ireland and married the daughter of Thadeus Quin, the progenitor of the lord of Adare, to whose title was afterward added that of Dunraven.
His son, Valentine Keating, emigrated to France in 1766 to escape persecution due to the oppressive

laws of England against the Catholics. Upon his arrival at St. Germain letters patent of nobility were granted him by Louis XV In recognition of his rank in Ireland.
John Keating, a son of Valentine Keating, was born at Adare, near Limerick, Ireland, September 20, 1760, the tenth In the line of descent. He was one of six brothers, four of whom, including himself, entered the French service and were officers in the Regiment Walsh Serrant of the Irish Brigade.
The battalion to which John and two of his brothers belonged was sent to Martinique in the West Indies in 1780 where all were In active service. Thomas Keating, a brother of John Keating, rose to the rank of Major General and commanded and army corps in Belgium under the French Republic. He and his brother, William, were awarded the Cross of St. Louis for meritorious service. During the French Revolution Thomas was imprisoned by Robespierre and died from its effects.
In 1792 upon the recommendation of King Louis XVI, Thomas Keating was admitted, in company with other French officers, to the Order of Cincinnati, presumably on account of his participation in the campaign in America. The Order of Cincinnati is an Order composed of officers who fought under General Washington in the American Revolution and their descendants. John Keating was in temporary command of a French regiment sent to San Domingo to quell the negro uprising there under Toussant L'Ouverture. The French Revolution was now In progress, having begun on July 14th, 1789, when the Bastile was stormed by the revolutionists and its prisoners liberated. There was little prospect that the House of Bourbon would be restored to the rule of France.
Since John Keating belonged to the nobility, against whom the French populace directed their vengeance, he resigned his commission and came to America. He arrived In Philadelphia, then the nation's capital, with $280 in cash and two letters of Introduction. One was from the civil government of San Domingo to the French Consel at Philadelphia, the other from General Rochambeau, then the military governor of San Domingo, to General George Washington, President of the United States.
During this tragic period in the history of France many French noblemen and prominent citizens fled to America. Among them was Viscount Louis de Noallles, a member of an old military family. He had rendered military service to the cause of the colonists in the American Revolution. His mother had been lady-ln-waiting to Marie Antoinette and the Marquis de La fayette was his brother-in-law. Being forced to flee from France after the execution of Louis XVI (Janu ary 21, 1793), he came to America and began laying plans for the establishment of a colony of refuge for his persecuted countrymen.
The site selected by de Noallles' scouts in the fall of 1793 was on the Susquehanna River, at a spot called the "ox bow," sixty miles above Wilkes Barre. The settlement here was appropriately called Aslyum which, perhaps because of the French pronunciation, has developed into the more popular name of Azilum. The site may be located on the Susquehanna Trail, 109, between Towanda. and Wyalusing, near the "twin "cuts."
In this enterprise de Noaillats was assisted by Robert Morris, the financier of the American Revolution. He directed de Noaille to Matthias Hollenback who, ten years previous had established trading posts at Wilkes Barren and Teago (Athens) and was now widening the bridal path to Niagara Falls which every Frenchman felt he must visit and describe. Hollenback also assisted the colonists in obtaining titles from Connecticut claimants for the partly cleared land on the "ox bow", cashed their notes, and forwarded supplies. De Noaille contributed from his personal resources to finance the new colony and solicited new subscribers while engaged in business in Philadelphia.
Associated in this project was Antoine Omer Talon, also an exile. He was not a nobleman, but was a polished gentleman who had won fame as a Judge. He was also governor of the great Paris prison the Chatelet, from which position he resigned to organize a secret service to protect the royal family when the mob seized the Tuieries, Talon's written offer to get the King out of Paris and perhaps out of France was discovered behind a secret panel and he was forced Into hiding. He escaped from France by being secreted in a wine cask by LaPorte, another prominent Frenchman, and rolled aboard an Eaglish vessel In the harbor of Marseilles.
Talon became a manager and host of the new colony at a salary of three thousand dollars per year. He did not abandon his plans for the royal family and hoped to bring Marie Antoinette and her two sons to this Aslyum In the New World.
In the summer of 1794 five members of the de Noailles family died by the guillotine. They were his father, mother, wife, and her mother and grandmother. This news, together with that of the execution of Marie Antoinette on October 16. 1793 diminished his interest in Aslyum and cut off his personal funds, although he remained a share holder and manager until his death. The titles to the land on which the colony was founded were vested In his name and he was to have been president of the company.
DeNoaille became a partner of William Bingham and resided in Philadelphia near the Bingham mansion. He never returned to France but remained a naturalized United States citizen until his death on January 5, 1804, at Havannah, where as brigadier general he received a mortal wound while repelling Napoleon's attempt to re-establish a Frencn occupation.

John & Eulalia
Posted 03 Sep 2012 by Jennifer Webber
Keating had made the acquaintance of Pierre Bauduy, the son of a planter of an old French family in San Domingo. His brother, Baron de Bauduy, afterwards became a general under Napoleon. Bauduy had married the daughter of M. J. Baptiste Bretton Deschapelles, of a noble family in France, who had also owned a large sugar plantation in San Domingo, but had been forced to immigrate to America owing to the insurrection, and was living in Wilmington, Delaware. Another of M. Deschapelles' daughters had married Marquis de Saqui, an admiral in the French service ; another the Marquis de Sassenay of Paris, whose descendant was a most devoted adherent of Napoleon Third and of the Empress Eugenie in her lonely widowhood. All the Deschapelles children, following the custom of the day in San Domingo, had been educated in France. Eulalia, the youngest daughter, was at that time twenty-two years of age and lived with her sister, Mrs. Bauduy, in Wilmington, their parents being dead.
She was tall and handsome and of a most engaging personality. Bauduy, who had taken a great fancy to Keating, asked him down to Wilmington to dinner, and there he met the sister-in-law and fell in love with her. Some of his friends in Philadelphia favored the match, but, as he says in his diary, having no fortune he hesitated to address her. But he naively adds, " having learned that another proposed to do so " he hesitated no longer. He wrote Bauduy, asking him to be the bearer of his wishes. The letter was mailed the day of Keating's departure for Tennessee on the Noailles mission. Returning home by way of Washington and Baltimore, he arrived in Wilmington, having had, of course, no answer to his letter and not knowing how he would be received." There was company present and Eulalie, in her timidity, shrank from seeing me, lest my visit should occasion remark." So he left for Philadelphia, but returned occasionally for short visits. The old French mode of courtship was far different from that of the present day.
For a while she gave no answer, and they never spoke of it and were never alone. Finally the occasion presented itself. He was as much embarrassed as she was. She consented, however, and he kissed her hand, without however, as he says, taking her glove off, for he was " not used to the situation." The family received the news with delight and the usual French formalities were observed. A paper setting forth the consent of the Deschapelles family and friends to the union is a typical example of the old French custom and interesting as a relic of the "Ancient Regime". It declares it to be the unanimous opinion, after due deliberation, that the marriage is in every respect advantageous to the young lady and that provisions are satisfactory. The "provisions" were contained in a marriage settlement executed at the same time, which only goes to show upon what modest means people began housekeeping in those days. By this settlement she contributed her small interest in the family patrimony, her clothing and jewelry and a few shares in the Bank of Pennsylvania and Insurance Company of North America; and he contributed his interest in the estate at Poitiers in France, his rights to a commission in the agency of the Asylum Company, " which though certain, cannot be determined as yet," also the 2,600 acres in Tennessee which he expected to have, but never got, from Noailles, and 10 shares of the Asykim Company. The marriage took place December 11, 1797, at 6: 15 p. m., before Abbe Faure at the Bauduy house in Wilmington, there being no Catholic church in Wilmington at the time. The young couple took up their residence in Wilmington. Three children were born of this marriage, John Julius Geoffrey Keating, born September 16, 1798; Hypolite Louis William, born August II, 1799, and Eulalia Margaret, born September 24, 1 801. Besides these John Keating, as has been seen, had adopted his nephew, Jerome, the son of his brother William.

John Keating
Posted 26 Oct 2015 by Penny Lee Smith
Philadelphia, deserves a place from our pen. John Keating, born in Ireland, on the 19th of September, 1759, is the grandson of Jeffrey Keating, who raised a company of horse, during the siege of Limerick, and having subsequently retired to France with King James's army, distinguished himself in Spain and Italy, under Marshal Catinat . Valentine, Baron Keating, the son of Jeffrey, obtained permission to return to Ireland, but finding the penal laws intolerable, went back to France, and had his children educated at the Jesuit college, Poitiers. John Keating and his three brothers entered as officers in the Irish regiment of Walsh-Serrant, in the French service. At the period of our revolution, this regiment was sent to the West Indies, then to Pondicherry and Mauritius; and at the breaking out of the French revolution, was in St. Domingo. "There," says the Duke de la Rochefoucauld-Liancourt, "John Keating, having the confidence of all parties, and having refused the most seductive offers of the Commissioners of the Convention, preferred to retire poor to America, rather than remain rich and in honor at St. Domingo, by violating his first oath. A man of a character at once severe and mild, of distinguished merit, rare intelligence, uncommon virtue, and unexampled disinterestedness, * * * we may say that the confidence which his great intelligence and virtue inspire, make it more easy for him than for others to terminate a difficult affair."*
Captain John Keating, Chevalier of St. Louis, was one of the founders and organizers of Asylum; but when his friends returned to France he retired to Philadelphia, where he has since edified whole generations by his piety and virtues. Although more than ninety-six years of age, he continues to occupy every Sunday his wonted place in St. Mary's, and enjoys universal esteem throughout the city. His daughter, left a widow, resolved to enter a convent as soon as her children were old enough to take charge of their grandfather, and she is now Superioress of the Visitation at Frederick.

Baron of France ~ John Keating from Ireland
Posted 26 Oct 2015 by Penny Lee Smith
John Keating was born in Ireland in 1760, and raised in France. He joined the French Army, resigning in face of the Haitian and French revolutions to settle in Philadelphia. He spent the rest of his long life as a land agent and manager for the settlement of inland Pennsylvania, known for competence, honesty, and care for the settlers.
John Keating was born in 1760 to Valentine Keating, a Catholic Irish gentleman educated in France. In 1766, having overcome trumped-up charges of treason, and still facing the severe disadvantages of the penal laws against Catholics, the family moved to France and settled in Poitiers. In recognition of his noble ancestry, Valentine was granted letters patent of nobility by Louis XV. John, with his twin brother William, was educated at the English College, Douai. After graduating, he and William were both granted a commission in Walsh's regiment, in which their elder brother Thomas was already serving.
The regiment sailed in 1780 for the Caribbean, taking the British garrison of Sint Eustatius by surprise. In 1783 theAntilles War ended and the regiment returned to France. In 1788 it was sent to Mauritius; John and William set out on the frigate Penelope, which was wrecked on the Cape of Good Hope with the loss of thirty-six men. The brothers arrived safely in Mauritius and spent a year there, where William resigned from the army to marry. In 1789 the regiment sailed for France; it was forced to make land in Martinique, where it learned of the French Revolution and took the tricolore cockade. They were then garrisoned in Brittany, subject to "the dictates and caprices of demagogues". By commission dated 27 November 1791, John was granted the Cross of St. Louis, and shortly afterwards he sailed with the regiment for Saint-Domingue, then in the throes of the Haitian Revolution. An attempted coup against the revolutionary Commissioners failed when the soldiery sided with the Commissioners and forced the other officers to embark for France. John was required by the 92nd Regiment and the Commissioner Sonthonax to take temporary command of the regiment. In despair at the prospects for Saint-Domingue, he obtained permission to leave, and on Christmas Eve 1792 arrived in Philadelphia with $280 and two letters of introduction, one from Sonthonax to De la Forest, French consul in Philadelphia, and one from the Vicomte de Rochambeau to General George Washington.
He soon made acquaintance with the French emigre community in Philadelphia, among whom were two who had been included in a large land development scheme started by Robert Morris (financier) and John Nicholson. This Asylum Project attracted French settlers to an agricultural life on the north bank of the Susquehanna River, but most of them preferred in due course to return to France.[1][2] John was mentioned by De la Rochefoucauld as a man of uncommon merit, distinguished abilities, extraordinary virtue, and invincible disinterestedness. On 20 January 1795 he became a citizen of the United States, and on 11 December 1797 he married Eulalia Deschapelles, whose father had been a planter in Saint-Domingue until the Haitian Revolution. They had three children, William, John, and Eulalie, and also adopted Jerome, the son of his brother William. Jerome and Eulalie later married each other.
In 1797 the Asylum Company fell into financial trouble and, with John's original backers, ultimately fell into ruin. However, his reputation was by then such thatémigrés would purchase title to undeveloped land, vest it in him, and leave the management entirely to his judgement. He became closely involved with the Ceres Company, which through him purchased 297,428 acres of land in and around modern McKean, Potter, and Clearfield Counties. He was for many years the manager, and one of three trustees, for the owners of the company, which was eventually wound up by his grandson in 1884 after realising upwards of a million dollars. Its financial success was associated with Keating's "watchful care... his sympathy with... the settlers", and his "readiness to help in every possible way partook more of the character of the care of a father over his children than a capitalist over a business enterprise."[3] He lived and died a devout Catholic, but his endowments included gifts of land for churches of other denominations, schools, and government buildings.[4]
Some four years after his marriage, when he was living in Wilmington, a dispute arose between the directors of the Ceres Company. Despite his own intimate connection with the disagreement, Keating was asked by both sides to travel to Europe to arbitrate, which he did to the satisfaction of all parties.
John's wife Eulalie died on 4 August 1803, while he was on a business trip. His diary for the rest of his long life was devoted almost entirely to recollections of her, and he expired gazing at her picture.
His accomplished sons predeceased him. Jerome also died young, after he and Eulalie had had two sons and a daughter. Eulalie later became a nun and survived her father. William made original observations from which he inferred the former existence of an immense intra-continental lake, now accepted as Lake Agassiz.[5]
The French title of Baron devolved upon him on the death of his elder brother; he never assumed it, but was affectionately known as "the old Baron".
