SUMMARYNapoleon's men in the Americas; the incorporation dates (Nov 3, 2026). CORRECTION to P166(a): 1818/1819 are the dates the names went on colonial paper (incorporation), not proof of where the names began. Under Rule 3 the paper is a hostile witness. RECORD of earlier paper names at Memphis: Fort Assumption (French, 1739), Fort San Fernando de las Barrancas (Spanish, 1795), Fort Pickering / Chickasaw Bluffs (U.S.). The Chickasaw name for the place, and whether "Memphis" or "Egypt" names were used before 1818, need deep research (oral history, early maps, travelers' accounts). RECORD, Napoleon's men in the Americas: (1) General Charles Lallemand served in Egypt AND Santo Domingo (Ayiti), then ran the French Emigrant Association in Philadelphia (Vine and Olive Colony, Alabama, 1817) and led Champ d'Asile in Texas (1818), operating out of New Orleans; (2) Leclerc's 1802 expedition to Ayiti (Napoleon's brother-in-law); (3) Louisiana sold 1803; (4) brother Jérôme in Baltimore 1803–05; brother Joseph at Bordentown NJ 1815–32; (5) Marengo County and Demopolis, Alabama, named by his officers. TIMING: Bonapartist officers, veterans of the Egypt campaign, land in the Mississippi/Gulf region in 1817–18, the same years Cairo (1818) and Memphis (1819) go on paper (Pattern)
LENS (Tito)the "Egypt campaign" was a cover story and Napoleon's real war was in the Americas, the American Egypt (Lens claim; OPEN, needs deep research). Records to pull: French war ministry archives (SHD Vincennes), Lallemand's papers, early Mississippi river maps 1790–1820, Chickasaw oral history.
