Michel Bouvier, great great great grandfather to Jacqueline, arrived from France in about 1815. He established a successful business in Philadelphia as a cabinetmaker and importer of marble and mahogany, boasting Napoleon&#39s brother, Joseph Bonaparte as one his clients. He made a solid fortune that his son, Michel Charles Bouvier, a Wall Street tycoon, vastly increased by successful operations on the stock exchange. Later this fortune from &#34M.C&#34 would be bequeathed to Jacqueline’s father. A wonderful inheritance from his uncle that he sadly, ran into the ground and resulted in financial ruin of the family. We are offering a set of FOUR impressive Northern Pacific Railroad Stock Certificates issued to and signed personally by the Bouvier’s and their companies. One being a direct link to that great fortune that enriched the Jackie as a child, signed by the generous Bouvier tycoon, Michel Charles, Jackie’s great uncle. Another from Jackie’s grandfather himself!
