May 4. John James La Forest Audubon was born at Mandeville, Louisiana. (Paucity of dates and conflicting statements make it impossible to insert dates to show when the family moved to St. Domingo, and thence to France.)

Returned to America from France. Here followed life at Mill Grove Farm, near Philadelphia.

Again in France for about two years. Studied under David, the artist. Then returned to America.

April 8. Married Lucy Bakewell, and journeyed to Louisville, Kentucky, to engage in business with one Rozier.

March. First met Wilson, the ornithologist.
