I am not sure if anyone can help point me to more information on individual Sailors of the Guard. I am looking for more information on a man called Joachim Joannis. He had been in the Guard Sailors and was aged 32 in 1815. He was born in Baltimore, weirdly. He was apparently attached to Napoleon's suite at Rochefort, just as Napoleon was considering sailing to America, but was disembarked when Napoleon surrendered to the Bellerophon and allowed to go home to Paris. His wife, Emilie Garand, was also there. She disembarked on French soil on 15 July and went home too.
