{"product_id":"9780692607701","title":"The Chardon Family History: From France to the Americas, 1768-1900","description":"Jean Baptiste Chardon enlisted as a volunteer soldier during the French Revolution. His battalion was deployed to Saint-Domingue, a French colony on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, to control a slave revolt. Subsequently, he served in Santo Domingo, on the eastern side of the island. After the French were defeated, Jean Baptiste Chardon and his family immigrated to New Orleans and later to Ponce, a Spanish colonial town in Puerto Rico. One son remained in New Orleans and became a successful businessman. In Puerto Rico, the family and first generation descendants thrived as masons, silversmiths, merchants, cattle ranchers and investors in real estate, producing a rich legacy that continues today. Included are the 1860, 1869, 1873, 1897 and 1920 census information on the Chardon, Chavier and Chevalier families in Ponce, the names of the 1853 Ponce volunteer firemen, Los Bomberos de Ponce, and information on business associates, military comrades and neighbors of the Chardon family.","brand":"Atocha Street Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49827641295088,"sku":"9780692607701","price":65.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692607701","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
