Biography

Gauche BeArce has been suggested as a possible gypsy father of Augustine or Austin Bearse (with a Native American wife, supposedly Princess Matchowitch). See Augustine's profile for a discussion of these claims that were subsequently disputed by Donald Lines Jacobus.[1]

Bottom line: there is no solid proof that either Gauche or his supposed Native American wife existed.

Therefore we have also detached him from supposed parents James Bearce and Priscilla Cony.

Bearce-19 and Bearse-225 appear to represent the same person because: Trying again. These are clearly meant to represent same person. AND he's a disproven myth. We don't want multiple copies of him around.

Bearse-225 and Bearce-19 are not ready to be merged because: Too little information

Bearse-225 and Bearce-19 appear to represent the same person because: same vitals; same spouse (who also needs merging).

In searching this questionable profile. I can find no evidence or documentation for this parentage or marriage. I did find documents that James is the father of Augustine.
