Dorion, Jean Baptiste-The date of the birth of this son of Pierre and Madame Dorion is uncertain; he may have been one of the children accompanying them on the overland trip of the Hunt party. As Pierre Dorion was killed in 1814, Jean Baptiste's birth date must be near or prior to that time. He grew up to marry Josephine Walla Walla (Cayuse) in 1845 and had at least seven recorded children-Denise, Pierre, Genevieve, David, Philomene, Joseph and Marianne. After the death of Dorion about 1850, his six-year old son David was reared by his father's half-sister, Marguerite Vagnier Gobin, in Montana. Denise Married Francois Laframboise; the remaining children appear to have died young-Genevieve, for instance, is know to have died at St. Louis at the age of twelve.
