WORK & OCCUPATION

Occupation

Recorded occupation: Maitre tonnelier

The tonnelier, or cooper, manufactured barrels (large wooden receptacles generally used for storing liquids) from timber that was usually heated or steamed to make it pliable. Barrels had to be made of quality wood, free of defects and vermin. They also had to respect official gauges and be able to contain the quantity of wine, beer or brandy expected. Coopers were frequently linked, by blood or marriage, with brewers, taverns and wine merchants.

Biography
LEMIEUX - agglutination of 'the best', from the old French 'miels' which means 'the best'. Ironic nickname given to someone who insists a little too much on being 'the best'.

Gabriel Lemieux was baptized on April 10, 1630 in Rouen, Normandy. He was natural son of Thomas and Anne Le Cornu. He arrived in Canada in 1643. In 1658, he married Marguerite Leboeuf in Quebec and they had 5 children. In 1671, he remarried, in Quebec, with Marthe Beauregard and they had 5 other children. Arriving in New France between 1643 and 1647, he returned to France in 1665 to buy goods that he intended to resell. He loses everything when the ship bringing back his goods is taken by the English. With his 1st wife, they have an inn and they are accused of running a bawdy house. When he died in Lauzon in 1702, he was poor.
