Forget (Revolution)

Before the Revolution

Wire of a portefaix; commercial spice wig maker then before the Revolution. In 1783, he marries one of the girls of the caretaker of the Prison of Bouffay. Its trade having gone bankrupt, it saw in the Revolution the unhoped-for occasion to exhale its rancours and to remake surface.

Under the Revolution

Suitably informed, smoothie, Forget were not long in being distinguished. Joseph Fouché then Pierre Philippeaux sticks it. The man attentive with regard to powerful moment and without pity for is overcome. Capped of a forage cap on the front of which it made makes embroidered an open eye (distinctive sign of the Mountain dwellers), Forget takes care of the grain. He does not like Jean-Baptiste Carrier and faces it in several circumstances. In fact, coterie of Jean-Jacques Goullin, it enjoys a total impunity. With the current of all or almost, Forget knew, at the time of the lawsuit (1795), to overpower its assistants and to save his head.

As long as he is caretaker of the Prison Holy Clear the, Forget is shown especially attentive to transfer the sick prisoners towards other places from detention. It is its only parade with the epidemic which does not cease devastating the establishment. He was an eminent member of Vincent the Mountain (revolutionary company of Nantes).

After the Revolution

It is more than probable that Forget remained the agent of Joseph Fouché who employed it in a more or less episodical way until his death in 1809.
