Notes

Note 1

Louis Séguin was one of the principle figures of the era. He was an army major of Vaudreuil, commander of the Oka fortification, a fur trader and owner of four concessions in the Cote de l?Anse, in the Vaudreuil seigneurie. In 1752, it was at Louis Séguin?s residence that the Marquis of Rigaud and the engineer Louis Franquet stayed during the inspection of the fortified posts. It was also mentioned that Louis had four servants, which was rare at that time. In the fall of 1752, Louis permanently left Oka to stay with his family in Concession #49 above Grand-Détroit, where the community of Hudson is now located. He died on 13 Jul 1763, at age 51, and was buried in front of the altar in the Oka Chapel "Des Rois." Captain Lemaire (St Germain), Fr Maçon de Thirlay (priest of the du Lac Mission), and Ignace Raizenne (Louis? father-in-law) all had the honor of being buried in the chapel.
