Introduction
Jacques Cartier is best remembered for his exploration of parts of Canada. We even credit him with giving the country its name. Although Cartier named the land he traveled to “Canada,” the word actually comes from the Iroquois-Huron language. These natives referred to their village of Stacona as a kanata – which simply means “village” or “settlement”.¹ Cartier used this word to refer to all of the areas he explored, and soon would be used globally as more of the French came to explore the land.

CARTIER, JACQUES, businessman, militia officer, and politician; b. 10 April 1750 at Quebec, son of Jacques Cartier, dit L’Angevin, and Marguerite Mongeon; d. 22 March 1814 in Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu, Lower Canada.

Jacques Cartier’s father, a merchant living on Rue Saint-Jean, Quebec, benefited from his friendship with Michel-Jean-Hugues Péan*, middle man between the intendant François Bigot* and government suppliers, to obtain contracts for a large part of the flour supplies until 1757. He also engaged in the export of salt and fish to France. Though he managed to accumulate only a very modest fortune by the time of his death it was apparently sufficient to send his son Jacques to Jean-Baptiste Curatteau*’s secondary school at Longue-Pointe (Montreal) in 1767. Two years later Jacques had established himself as a merchant at Quebec, perhaps with the financial support of François Baby, for whom he appears to have acted as a fur-purchasing agent in 1771.

In 1770 Jacques and his brother Joseph had gone to the Richelieu region to sell fish. Jacque
