P. P. F. Degrand

Degrand was a French-born broker and merchant in Boston, Massachusetts, in the 19th century.

Degrand was born in Marseilles, France, and moved to Boston around 1803.

[3] He was one of the thirteen founding members of the Boston Stock Exchange and was described by Clarence W. Barron and Joseph G. Martin as "the man to whose indomitable energy and foresight the existence of the Boston Stock Exchange is largely due".

[6] He was friend with President of the United States John Quincy Adams.

[8] Degrand bequeathed $120,000 to charity, a large part of which was for the acquisition of French-language scientific texts for Harvard University.
