Early History
In 1790, a french hunter named Gaweyne de Weyne was exiled from his home country by King Louis XVI of France after he was involved in some unknown illegal activity that he was eventually caught and arrested for. He soon travelled to America after being exiled, where he settled in. He first settled in Boston, where he continued to hunt regularly to get more food and sell more pelts. Many in Boston knew who he was after they learned of his exile from France. They began to mock him and he became very unpopular with the townsfolk. He eventually left Boston to settle elsewhere.
