Biography
PAILLARD (Paillart, Paillé, dit Paillard, Paillet), LÉONARD, known as Le Poitevin, master carpenter and millwright; b. 1647, son of André Paillard and Catherine Geoffroy of Bersac parish (department of Haute-Vienne); m. in 1678 at Beauport Louise-Marie Vachon, by whom he had nine children; buried 6 Jan. 1729 at the Hôpital Général of Montreal.
Léonard Paillard possessed the very Canadian traits of ambition, versatility, and mobility. As a millwright, he met one of the most urgent needs of the colony. He probably came to Canada about 1670 as an indentured worker. In October 1672 he became the apprentice of Jean Lemire*, a carpenter living on Grande Allée near Quebec. It is likely that he learned the millwright’s craft from Lemire. He completed his apprenticeship in carpentry in 1675 under Pierre Mercereau, who had purchased Paillard’s indenture for 60 livres. Paillard subsequently became Mercereau’s journeyman.
