Bennon Francis Ducrue

DUCRUE, Bennon Francis, clergyman, born in Munich, Bavaria, in 1721; died in Bavaria in 1779. He was a Jesuit, and was sent by his superiors to Mexico, where he performed missionary duty for over twenty years. He returned to Europe after the Jesuits were expelled from the Spanish colonies. He wrote in German a "Relation of the Society of Jesus of the Province of Mexico, and particularly of California in 1767, with other documents worthy of being known." This relation is found in vol. xvi. of the journal of Mur. Independently of what concerns the Jesuits in California, it contains interesting notices on the geography and production of that peninsula. Mur added notes to the relation, and some specimens of the Californian language, which were communicated to him by Ducrue.
