Career
He migrated towards Montreal where the center of fur trade activity was. The voyagers would leave from Montreal towards the "High Country". He acquired an arriere-fief on Ile Street Joseph, in the seigneury of Boucherville (an island just off the eastern part of the island of Montreal) on October 12, 1702.
In the book Vie de Madame Youville he is described as "an honest bourgeois that lives off the product of his land".
A document of July 9, 1717, called him Sieur des Pins de Boucherville. And mentioned him returning from a trip by canoe to Montreal after having successfully concluded his treaty, which doubtless was in connection with the fur trade in which he was engaged.
There are also notarized documents that indicate he was involved in land management and fur trade.
