Note 1
Jean-Baptiste was born at Pointe aux Roches on his father's farm, where he remained until grown to manhood. He acquired a good education in both French and English, in the town schools. In Tilbury North he bought a tract of land of 140 acres in Concession 1. Lot 57, on which he built a home, cleared up the land and made extensive improvements. He shared his father's political views, and was active in the work of the Conservative party, filling many of the township offices. He was one of the assessors of the township (then Tilbury West) nineteen years, was treasurer of the school board and justice of the peace.
