Vital was one of 3 children born to Jean Garesche du Rocher and Elizabeth de Brossay.
Vital was born near Port-au-Prince in Santo Domingo. In 1791 he moved with family for 4 years to La Rochelle, France. His father, Jean Garesche du Rocher left France quickly due to the possibility of being imprisoned by the Jacobins. The family settled in Wilmington, Delaware before some of the family members moved to Missouri.
Vital and his brother, John (48444926), set up business together and soon married daughters of Pierre de Bauduy de Bellevue, another Santo Domingo plantation owner. Vital married in Eden Park, Delaware on 24 Oct 1809.
Pierre de Bauduy de Bellevue, their father-in-law sold gunpowder mill to Vital and John in 1919 and he moved back to Cuba. The business was not producing enough income so in the Spring of 1839 the move to Missouri began.
Vital and his wife and 5 of his 6 children arrived in St. Louis by steamboat. His son, Julius was attending West Point. (see wife for all children's names)
In 1843 Vital Marie Garesche was sick with consumption and thinking warmer weather would cure him, he and his wife and his 2 young daughters moved back to Cuba. Vital died in Havanna, Cuba on April 4, 1844.
