VIROT, Claude Francis (ve-ro), French missionary, born in France, 16 February, 1721 ; died near Fort Niagara in July, 1759. He became a Jesuit in 1738, and in 1750 was sent to Canada, where he labored for several years among the Abnaki Indians with great success. He was then sent to Ohio river, where he founded a mission among the Delawares at Sakunk on the mouth of the Big Beaver. The influence that he was gaining over the tribe excited the jealousy of Pakanke, chief of the Wolf tribe, and he was forced to leave. He afterward acted as chaplain to a body of French soldiers, and was killed when he participated in an attempt to relieve Fort Niagara.
