www.ststephenchurchrichwoodsmo.org/cemetery.htmlGo there for genealogical information about early French settlers in Washington County. " Within St. Stephens cemetery stands a grave believed to be the authentic site where French-Canadian trapper Toussaint Charboneau is buried. Born in 1781, Toussaint Charbonneau was the husband of the famed Sacagawea who served as interpreter on the 1805 Lewis and Clark Expedition. At the time of his death in 1866, Charboneau owned a mining company and trading post in Richwoods which later grew into Richwoods general store." I have a copy of some of the earliest baptismal records of St. Stephens, so ask here if you need info.
