Biographical note
Several generations of the Sué family practised as medical men in Paris. The brothers Jean Sué (1699-1762) and Jean-Joseph Sué (1710-1792) (the latter given the soubriquet "de la Charité") were both surgeons and each had a son who followed the same career: respectively, Pierre Sué (1739-1816) and Jean-Joseph Sué the younger (1760-1830). The novelist Eugéne Sué, who initially trained as a medical man, was the son of Jean-Joseph Sué the younger.
