• Notes

  Also called Nicolas Lupien dit Baron. His son Pierre, an early timber entrepeneur, has an entry in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography. This page about Nicolas Baron-Lupien by Dora Smith, includes several paragraphs attributed to "the historian Camille Bertrand", which we would guess are translated from Bertrand's 1935 French-language Histoire de Montréal. The gist is that François-Marie Perrot, governor of Montreal, used his position to illegally intercept and profit from the fur trade, up to and including trading alcohol for furs, all of which was against the law. Ultimately, in 1674, New France governor Frontenac had Perrot and his two servants, one of whom was the young Nicolas Baron dit Lupien, arrested and thrown in jail. Eventually, by 1675 they were all released. Perrot was reinstated to his position and Nicolas was left to restart his life. He went on to combine farming and the butchering trade, at which he was successful enough to leave at least a modest estate to his heirs.
