Victor Adolphus Pépin, the eldest son of André Pepin, a Canadian who fought for the Americans in their Revolution against the British, was born in Albany, New York.
Pépin was the probable cause of a riot centered on his circus in Pittsburgh in 1824.[2]
In 1833, he was a member of John Charles Beales's Rio Grande Colony which helped colonize Texas.[3]
Victor Pépin was a participant in the circus business from at least 1805 until 1831. He died in 1845 and is buried at New Albany, Indiana in an unmarked grave at Fairview Cemetery.
