• Notes

  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Archambault A plate in the back of the Pointe-à-Callières archeology and history museum of Montreal commemorates Jacques Archarmbadt's digging the first water well, near what is now known as Place-d'Armes, on October 11, 1658, upon request by Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve. http://www.borgonfamily.com/family/archambault/tree/index/189.html In 1647, Jacques rented a farm in Quebec. Between 1651 and 1653 his family seems to have alternated between Montreal and Quebec. The family was in Montreal during the terrible summer of 1651. Jacques barely escaped the massacre. Their son Denis was killed that summer by the cannon which he was getting ready for the third blow against the Iriquois. With his son-in-law Urban Tessier, Jacques Archambault was chosen among those to defend the stronghold known as "l'Enfant Jesus" in Montreal. This small fort was situated at the extremity of Tessier's grant. Its defenders, who were also its propietors, were responsible for its being guarded 24 hours a day. In 1678, when Jacques was 74 years old, his three sons-in-law and his son Laurant granted a l ife pension to him "a septuagenarian and quite unable to work and to earn his living and clothing, for the natural friendship they bear him, as they always have." He died 10 years later.
