1768
(II)-Old Jacques Raphael (Jacko & Jocko) Finlay, Metis (1768-1828) aka (Jacco, Jaccot, Jacko, Joeko and Jacquot) is born at Fort Finlay on the south bank of the South Saskatchewan River about 50 miles from the forks, son (I)-James Finlay and Christiana Youel, Chippewa Woman. (I)-James Finlay is the chief factor of Fort Finley, N.W.C
(II)-Old Jacques Raphael (Jacko & Jocko) Finlay, Metis (1768-1828) and Lagasse and Lablanc are believed by some to have reached the Columbia River and possibly the Pacific Ocean by this time or earlier. Others suggest he was in western, Montana. Jacko is also recorded as Jacco, Jaccot, Jacko, Jocko, Jacquot. (II)-Jacques Raphael Finlay Metis was born in 1768 in Finlay Fort, on the south bank of the Saskatchewan River. Finlay Fort was located at or near Nipawin Rapids, about fifty miles below the forks of the North branch and the South branch of the Saskatchewan River. (I)-James Finlay, d-1797 a free trader and later Nor'wester, was his father, and a Chippewa Indian woman his mother. Some suggest her name was Christiana Youal. The elder Finlay was in charge of Finlay Fort at the time of his sons birth. Some suggest he was born Montreal..
(II)-Old Jacques Raphael (Jacko & Jocko) Finlay, Metis (1768-1828) the free trader lived between Blaeberry and Kootenae House, he adopted the 4 Lussier orphaned children. It is likely these children took on the Finlay name. The Piegan People robbed Finlay of his horse and goods, he was known to have more than 18 horses which accounted for his mobility..
II)-Jacco (Jacques) Raphael Finlay (Metis) (1768-1828), and Partner (II)-Finan (Finnan) McDonald Metis (1782-1851) establish Spokane (Spokan) House for the N.W.C. (I suspect it was as free traders as he had a falling out with the NWC) on the Spokane River, a short distance from its confluence with the Columbia. This house supported the Metis free traders of the region. Finlay and McDonald settled down to raise their Metis families near the Trading Post. It should be noted (II)-Jacco's children were born in the Fort Edmonton Area but his adopted children were with him in Spokane with his adult children.. Some suggest he married another Indian girl (or two) in the Columbia District.
Mary Finley, Metis, and Angelique Finlay both born 1815 Spokane, Columbia (Washington) daughters (II)-Old Jacques Raphael (Jacko) Finlay, Metis (1768-1828) and Indian woman or could be the children of James Finlay, Metis, b-1794 or Thornburn Finlay, Metis, b-1795 or Bonhomme Finlay, Metis, (1795-1821) or Augustin (Yoostah) Finlay (1800-1883) or adopted children?

Susan Teskwentichina had another child born 1829 named Marguerite Maggie Finlay and is likely not the daughter of (II)-Old Jacko.
Nicholas Finlay, Metis, b-1816 Alberta married Suzette (Josephte) b-1819 Oregon Territory daughter Cayuse and Palouse
