------Family of Hudon dit Beaulieu
The family of Hudon dit Beaulieu is of the old French-Canadian
stock.
Jean Hudon and Francoise Durand, his wife, were formerly from Notre
Dame de Chemille, of the bishopric of Angers, France. They emigrated
to Canada sometime during
the early part of the 16th century.
Pierre Hudon dit Beaulieu, their son, was born in Canada, in 1649.
He married Marie Gobiel, in Quebec, July 13, 1676. They had many
children. Pierre Hudon dit
Beaulieu died and was buried at Riviere Quelle, April 25th , 1710.
In Wisconsin Hist. Colls., xix, pp. 163-233 is published a
translation of the journal of Francois Victor Mahliot who was in
charge of the Lac du Flambeau post in the year
1804-05, in which he makes numerous mention of Bazille Beaulieu. And
also says that Bazille Beaulieu was employed at Lac du Flambeau by
the American Fur Company,
as interpreter at a salary of $2,400 and was discharged in 1819 (see
list in Wis. Hist. Colls X11., pp. 154)
Paul Hudon dit Beaulieu; it is ascertained, was at Lac la Fluie, or
Rainey Lake in 1815-16. His son, Basile H. Beaulieu, was born there
on January 1st, in 1815-16.
Another one of the Hudon dit Beaulieu family was on the Saskatchewan
in 1806, and travelled with David Thompson, the Geographer in 1807-
11. The christian name of
this trader is not given.
Between the period of 1710, the year Pierre Beaulieu died, and 1807,
when the family name is first mentioned in the fur trade, 97 years is
noted, etc.
