Charles LEMAÎTRE dit AUGER
( - )
LEMAITRE dit AUGER
Main source: René Jetté's "Dictionnaire généalogique des Familles du Québec," pp. 703-04.
Full name of parish of baptism: St-Jean-du-Perrot de La Rochelle. His mother had returned to France on business (fur trade) while pregnant with Charles. This explains why he was born here while his older siblings were born in Canada.
Leg #R310
Captain of the Militia
Jetté:
-- engageur Ouest - 4 Aug 1688 and 18 Jul 1713
-- marchand bourgeois - 1695
-- capitaine de milice de Louiseville - 1711 (also mentioned in wife's burial record).
Germain LeSage, "Histoire de Louiseville":
(This family was heavily involved in the fur trade. His mother, his father, his step-fathers, brothers, and brothers-in-law, all were involved. It was not always on an official basis -- his two brothers-in-law did time for illegally trading with the Indians -- but there didn't seem to be any stigma attached to this. It was so common in this area.)
--p. 57 (translation): Two members of the LeMaitre family, Charles and Jean,
also established themselves at the Riviere-du-Loup. The two brothers took possession there of the old habitation of their mother and, in 1699, seeing the likelihood of a peace with the Iroquois, they had decided to develop the land which had gone uncultivated for fifteen or sixteen years because of the war. As Charles was on the point of undertaking a new voyage to the land of the Ottawas, and did not know when he would be returning because of the state of affairs in these lands, he had offered his part of the concession to Jean, who would cultivate it and pay the rents to avoid eviction.
After this, the Sieur Jean LeMaitre dit Lalongee was probably completely immersed in the cultivation of his land, which was located to the north of the property of Gerbaud de Bellegarde (his brother-in-law). But his wife and his young children still remained for several years in Montreal.
As for Charles LeMaitre dit Auge, he returned permanently to Riviere-du-Loup in Autumn of 1700 and probably established himself on the concession of his brother Jean, where his wife, Madeleine Crevier, did not delay to reunite him with his four children: Charles, Etienne, Catherine, and Jeanne.
The Sieur Auge, who was godfather to Charles Banhiac on 9 December 1700, was already heavily involved in the fur trade. One week after this ceremony, he gave fifteen chopines (chopine=half litre, or roughly equal to an English pint) of brandy to some Abenaquis Indians who had returned from hunting and who were occupying cabins near the house for four or five days, as a result of which, on the following 14 January, he was condemned by the judge Le Chasseur, to pay a fine of twenty livres applicable to the minor expenses of the parish of Trois-Rivieres.
But Charles LeMaitre-Auge intended to settle himself for good on some property which he would own. Accordingly, on 3 June 1701, he bought the land of his brother, Pierre, a merchant of Trois-Rivieres, which he was already cultivating in any case, and which bordered on that of Jean de Gerlaise. This concession, which measured five arpents wide, was nearly all full-grown standing forest; one would find there only five arpents of cleared land, without a single building.
