Biographical info in Seguin (La vie libertine en Nouvelle France), LaForest ("Our French-Canadian Ancestors"-4), and Lanctot ("Montreal Under Maisonneuve")
Found murdered in his bed.
Lent money to Sieur Dollard des Ormeaux for his Long-Sault expedition.
Prominent, wealthy fur trader. Occasionally got into trouble for dealing in alcohol with the Indians. In June of 1660, he was found guilty of improper conduct with Marguerite Boissel, the wife of Ville-Marie's first surgeon, Etienne Bouchard. He was fined 600 livres and banished forever from Montreal. Marguerite, who, according to Maisonneuve, "seems to have given herself at the hour of vespers to the said Jean Aubuchon," was punished by having her marriage settlement and other matrimonial agreements in her favor annulled. Her husband was given the right to keep her "locked up for the rest of her life, or if he prefers, to give her back to her father and mother. Aubuchon paid his fine as required in two weeks and moved to Trois Rivieres. Bouchard kept his wife, and they went on to have several children. Two years later, Aubuchon succeeded in having his sentence revoked. When he returned to Montreal, he endowed six yearly masses and went on to become a respected churchwarden and live a relatively spotless life. See Gustave Lanctot, "Montreal Under Maisonneuve, 1642-1665," trans. Alta Lind Cook (Toronto: Clark, Irwin & Co., 1969): 162.
