Occupation
Jean-Guillaume-Baptiste-Alexis DARABY was a faux sauniers (salt smuggler) deported to Nouvelle-France after 1730.
Historically, a saunier, or salt manufacturer, harvested salt in salt marshes. In New France, however, a saunier was a salt merchant. Because of the high taxes levied on salt in France, especially the gabelle, salt merchants faced intense competition from faux-sauniers, traders dealing in contraband. These traffickers traded in salt without paying the tax.
Hundreds of convicted salt traffickers in France were deported to the colony of New France in the 18th century to work as labourers. It's a little known fact that these salt smugglers made a significant contribution to the settlement of Canada.
