There is a reason to believe that Charles may have been the seigneur du fief de Bonsecours (L'Islet). On 19 December 1662 (gr. Audouart) he received a piece of land (concession) from Charles Le Gardeur de Villiers, part of the rear fief Le Gardeur in the Seigneurie of Beaupre. He received another farm from the same person on 15 Jun 1669. Unlike his brothers, who moved to the Seigneurie of Bonsecours at L'Islet, Charles lived on the North bank of the St Lawrence river. As the oldest son, he inherited half of the Seigneurie of Bonsecours at his father's death. The other half was divided among his brothers and sisters.
