Biography


Robert Brevelle serves as the Member At Large and Historian for the Board of Directors.  Robert was appointed to this position in 2022.    

 

The BCT is fortunate to have on its board a direct lineal descendent of its namesake and early French explorer, Jean Baptiste Brevel.  The book, Descendants of Jean Baptiste Brevel, documents the lineage starting with Brevel and his wife, Marie Anne des Cadeaux (Caddo Indian) from the early 1700’s.
