EARLY FRENCH HISTORY Early records of the exploration of the French in North America tell us that they were in the area of Cape Vincent as early as 1615. This area was also occupied by the indians and used as their hunting grounds for many years. In 1655 the French missionary priests Father Chaumonoit, Father Dablon and Father Simon LeMoyne came among the Onondaga Indians to establish missions and homes. James LeRay de Chaumont acquired many thousands of acres of land in Northern New York in the late 1790’s and early 1800’s. Cape Vincent was named after his son, Vincent LeRay. Father and son worked together and used their influence back in their homeland to attract many French emigres and refugees of the Napoleonic regime to come and settle in Cape Vincent and surrounding areas. Some of the refugees returned to France after a few years but a majority of the emi-
gres stayed on and many of their descendants still live in the area. Reminders of our French history include many family names, homes, personal belongings, letters and other documents. For more information about Cape Vincent’s history and its French background, we invite you to visit the Cape Vincent Community House and Museum on Market Street, the Cape Vincent Museum on North James Street and the Cape Vincent Community Library on Real Street.
The Cup and Saucer House by Town of Cape Vincent Past Historian, Peter J. Margrey
C
ount Pierre Real, exiled from France by the downfall of Napoleon I after the French Revolution came to Cape Vincent in 1816. Count Real was Prefect of Police under Napoleon, and by 1818 had built the well-known "cup and Saucer House". Although it was meant to be for Napoleon if he could be rescued from St. Helena, Count Real himself lived in this house when he returned to Cape Vincent in 1822. It received its name because of the peculiar style of architecture--resemble an inverted cup placed in a saucer. When Napoleon was not rescued from St. Helena, the house was sold to Theophius Peugnet, and Real returned to France. Peugnet was also a follower of Napoleon and came to Cape Vincent after the French Revolution. He and his family lived in the house until it burned in 1867. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Purcell of New York City and Cape Vincent bought this parcel of land and had the Community library built on it. While this land was being excavated for the walls of the library, Floyd Gould Sr., contractor, found some of the remains of the foundation of the Cup and Saucer House. The Library was dedicated in June 1968.

48th French Festival July 9 & 10, 2016 4
Each year the Cape Vincent French Festival Committee has the privilege to acknowledge the outstanding commitment and contributions of an individual who exemplifies volunteerism in support of the French Festival. Again this year the committee discussed a number of deserving contributors and ultimately decided by unanimous vote to dedicate the 2015 French Festival to Brooks J. Bragdon. “I am Cape Vincent” … a bold claim. There are few who could survive the scrutiny that would follow such a claim. However, the late Brooks J. Bragdon, to whom this year’s French Festival is dedicated, might be one of those few. A man with deep historical family ties to Cape Vincent. A man who cherished the very essence of the beauty and history of Cape Vincent and the surrounding area. A man who gave of his time and talents to promote Cape Vincent and a man who spoke often and with pride of his love of Cape Vincent. The ties of the Bragdon family go well back in the history of Cape Vincent. The historic “Stone House” built in 1815 by James Le Ray de Chaumont for his son Vincent (for whom Cape Vincent was named) would in later years be owned by John L. Johnston. Mr. Johnston’s daughter, Jane Brooks Johnston, spent many summers at “The Cape” but also spent significant time in France and throughout Europe. She studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and later married Robert Bragdon and lived in “the farm house” across the street from the Stone House. The farm was a working farm and stable, which had been in the family since 1880 and a
significant enterprise within the community for more than 150 years providing employment for many local residents. Brooks Bragdon was born in Watertown in 1947. He spent much of his youth on “the farm” but studied abroad in Switzerland and France as a child and later graduated from Williams College with honors with a degree in Art History. He was cocaptain of the Williams football team playing the position of offensive guard. Although employed in various positions outside of the area, it was Brooks’ love of Cape Vincent and his appreciation for art and historic architecture that brought him back to Cape Vincent to stay more than 30 years ago. As a resident of the village, Brooks found several avenues by which he would contribute to the community. He was actively involved in support of the French Festival for many years, a member of the Cape Vincent Lions Club for 20+ years and was elected multiple times to the Cape Vincent Town Board. His focus was always to hold onto the rich historic value and character of Cape Vincent. He dreamed of and spoke many times of wanting to build an “interpretation center” at the Tibbets Point Light House to capture the history and “French culture” of The Cape. Although his health started to fail him in 2014, he continued to play an active role in both the Lions and the Town Board up until his passing in May of this year. Brooks J. Bragdon will be remembered as a humble, kind and respected citizen of Cape Vincent who cherished the history and culture that we celebrate with every French Festival.

Why a “French” Festival? Napoleon Bonaparte is the most widely renowned leader of France and he is often regarded as one of the greatest military leaders ever. Napoleon is a widely recognizable representative of France. We cannot claim to have actually had Napoleon himself in the North Country but there is no doubt that the Bonaparte name and the French influence are apparent in the area. While in his heyday, Napoleon gave his several brothers the crowns of countries he conquered. His older brother, Giuseppe (Joseph) Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned King of Spain but fled Spain with the crown jewels and other treasures after defeat at the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. He returned to France and supported and soldiered for his younger brother, Napoleon. After Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1815, Joseph negotiated a small part of his remaining valuables with James Le Ray de Chaumont, a naturalized American citizen, for some 27,000 acres of land in the North Country. Napoleon was to join his elder bother in America but chose to surrender to the English and suffered his second exile, this time to the small island of St. Helena. Joseph and a cadre of Bonapartists are said to have hatched a plan to spirit Napoleon from St. Helena to Cape Vincent. Rumor has it that the Cup and Saucer House built by Count Pierre Francoise Real (where the Cape Vincent Community Library stands today) had a never-occupied room in the cupola held especially for Napoleon. Although Joseph made several appearances there, the news of Napoleon’s death in 1821 caused the conspiring exiles to leave Cape Vincent. Only the Peugnet brothers stayed, Theophilus in the Cup and Saucer House until it burned in 1867. In 1835, Joseph Bonaparte sold his remaining North Country holdings to John La Farge, another Frenchman. Despite Napoleon himself never making his way to the North Country, Lake Bonaparte was part of Joseph’s tract and carries the family name. Other French names are obvious throughout the area. James Le Ray de Chaumont left his name to two townships in the area. He was instrumental in the establishment of mills, wharves and roads that precipitated many French political refugees to settle in the North Country. Le Ray built the Stone House here in the former Gravelly Point, for his son, Vincent and named the burgeoning village Cape Vincent in his honor. Le Ray de Chaumont names are prolific in the area as James held, at one point or another, hundreds of thousands of acres Cape Vincent for one son, Alexandria Bay for another, Theresa for a daughter, even Plessis, after the family dog. While we honor and respect all the French influence in our history, it is not inappropriate to choose Napoleon as an excellent ‘symbol’ to lead our French Day Parade. 8
