His land was located in Charlesbourg, Quebec City, Quebec. In 1672, he purchased 15 acres (61,000 m2) additional for the price of a chicken and a rent of 15 sol en argent and 3 deniers to be paid once a year on St. Martin's Day.

In 1685, he and his family moved to Rivière-Ouelle, Quebec.

He died on 1727 in La Pocatière, Quebec.

Name Confusion
