MACARD (Maquard), CHARLES, businessman, member of the Conseil Supérieur of New France; b. 16 Dec. 1656 at Quebec; d. 1732. His father, Nicolas Macard, dit Champagne, son of Thomas Macard and Marguerite Hardy, of Mareuil-sur-Dié, had married Marguerite Couillard, daughter of Guillaume Couillard* and widow of Jean Nicollet*.
In a will received by the notary Becquet* on 14 Dec. 1677, Charles Bazire* “gives to his Brother: -in-law, Charles Macart, 2,000 livres, as well as the title-deed to Charlesville, with the farm and outlying buildings.” This small fief, situated near Montmorency Falls, had been granted by Bishop Laval on 21 July 1677 to Bazire and Charles Aubert de La Chesnaye.
Macard was one of the founders and administrators of the Compagnie de la Colonie du Canada, which was created in 1700 to carry on trade in beaver furs in Canada and Europe. But as the market price for these furs had completely collapsed, the company went bankrupt.
