Stephen Theodore Badin, clergyman, born 

 in Orleans, France, in 1768, died in Cincinnati in 

 1853. He was sent for three years to the Col- 

 lege Montagu in Paris, where he acquired a 

 thorough classical training, and entered the Sul- 

 . pician Seminary at Tours in 1789, with the ob- 

 ject of becoming a priest. He immigrated to 

 the United States in 1792, and was ordained by 

 Bishop Carroll in the old cathedral of Baltimore 

 in 1793, being the first priest ordained in the 

 United States. He was appointed to do mis- 

 sionary work in Kentucky, which, at that pe- 

 riod, formed a part of the diocese of Baltimore. 

 Father Badin was for about three years the only 

 priest in Kentucky. In 1797 Bishop Carroll ap- 

 pointed him vicar-general and sent him au as- 

 sistant, who died the following year. lu 1805 

 he published his "Principles of Catholics," 

 the first Catholic work printed in the West. 

 From 1830 to 1836 he was connected with the 

 Pottawattamie Indians on St. Joseph's Kiver, 

 Indiana. He was successful not only in con- 

 verting them to Christianity, but in forming 

 them to the habits of civilized life. He estab- 

 lished schools among them, and in a few years 

 all the young people of the tribe had learned to 

 read English. The last three years of Father 

 Badin's life were spent in Cincinnati as the 

 fiuest of Archbishop 'ParceW.—Appleton's Cy- 

 clop, of Am. Biog.
