"Michel Antoine Garoutte anglicized as: Michael Antoine Garoutte ( 12th of April, 1750 \u2013 29th of April, 1829 ) was a member of the first nobility of Provence in the Kingdom of France. He was a Pirate and Privateer in the early war for American Independence and ascended to the rank of Lieutenant in the first American Continental Navy. He was the first owner of the in , New Jersey, United States. He belonged to a very old Proven\u00E7al family of the nobility. He and his sister the Lady -Lascour and her family were French Revolutionaries as they were among the first French nobles to reform the French government in the French Revolution. Michel Antoine Garoutte's sister married the Baron of Signes, Kingdom of France -Venel. Garoutte's favored nephew was Antoine Joseph Marie d'Espinassy who ascended to the rank of Army General in the French Revolutionary War and whose family was later responsible for the voted regicide of Louis-Auguste the 12th Duke of Berry who became the King of France as Louis XVI. The Garoutte-Espinassy family later married into the British Royal Family after meeting Ladies of the 6th Earl of Essex the night before the Battle of Waterloo. The Lascour, Garoutte and Espinassy families were involved in the French Monarchy for several traceable earlier centuries as their direct traceable ancestors are all referred to as Masters of their own noble and Royal House in the French Tongue: nobles de race, meaning that each family was part of the Hereditary Peerage of France. In later centuries this Espinassy family were deeply involved in the French Revolution. The Garoutte-Espinassy family later had close ties with Napol\u00E9on Buonaparte and this ended in Napol\u00E9on's capture at the and his death on . Michel Antoine Garoutte was one of the founding Catholics of the U.S. State Pennsylvania. The street named Garoutte in present-day Marseille, Republic of France is named after his family. Additional research into historical documentation indicates the specific Metric System introduced to the French Republic by Napol\u00E9on Buonaparte from French Mathematicians specifically the , Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-P\u00E9rigord was devised with the contributions of earlier French Catholic Mathematicians and of the Garoutte-Espinassy family. Michel Antoine Garoutte's maternal grand-father was the 6th Baron Henri de Lascour who was the first cousin and uncle of Louis Bourbon the King of France. Michel Antoine Garoutte's niece the Lady Claire Charlotte Espinassy-Garoutte is academically famous for her written works namely History of Europe, History of France, How To Be a Lady and Nouvel Abr\u00E9g\u00E9 de l'Histoire de France\u00E0 L'usage des Jeunes Gens -- where the present-day nobility of numerous countries in the world as well as Universities still use these works to teach about the Nobility, European History and other topics. The book named the Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas published and circulated in 1844 was partly inspired by the life stories of people during and after the French Revolution in and around the naval and shipping district called Marseille. Dumas partly based his works from stories most likely circulating about the Espinassy families in Marseille and Signes in the Kingdom of France and later the Republic of France and Restoration of the Bourbons to France."@en . .
