Why was she living in this household? These questions are difficult to answer, but the biographical archives allow us to speculate on her living conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fran\u00e7ois Campeau, married in 1698 to Marie-Madeleine Brossard, will have a total of 14 children. Marie-Madeleine died in 1729, which could correspond with the year of Marguerite\u2019s purchase. We do not know the date of Marguerite\u2019s arrival in New France, but we do know that Native slaves arrived on the territory at a young age (Trudel, 2004).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If so, she would have joined the Campeau family around the age of eight and the household would have included Fran\u00e7ois Campeau, six of his sons as well as three of his daughters, all single and aged between 11 and 30. It would therefore be entirely possible that Marguerite performed domestic chores in the household to help with the needs of the family following the death of Marie-Madeleine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It turns out that the Campeau will become a multigenerational slave owning family. Fran\u00e7ois Campeau\u2019s father, \u00c9tienne Campeau, is the first in a line of five generations of slave owners. Without being very wealthy and coming from modest professions such as mason, carpenter and blacksmith, this family will nonetheless build a slave network that expanded from Montreal to Detroit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Campeau family is not an isolated case. Biographical research has allowed us to learn more about the various slave owning families, such as the Demers, Boyer, Hervieux and Parent families, who will own slaves for at least three generations. This is in addition to the rich slave owning families: the Baby, the Tarieu de Lap\u00e9rade, the Lemoyne de Longueil, the Lacorne Saint-Luc and the Fleury D\u2019eschambault, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/2b0f8252c19c3cd9706a29323\/images\/c37d0bb0-26a7-28bc-b720-0f66b711a66c.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/2b0f8252c19c3cd9706a29323\/images\/c37d0bb0-26a7-28bc-b720-0f66b711a66c.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">Commemorative plaque of Olivier Le Jeune, first African slave and resident of New France<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We even find traces of slaves in the families of the last two Prime Ministers of Quebec: Guillaume Couillard (direct ancestor of Philippe Couillard), owner of Olivier Le Jeune, the first known black slave in Quebec territory, and Charles Legault Deslauriers senior (direct ancestor of Fran\u00e7ois Legault), owner of a young native Panisse who died at 10:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#8221; The fifth of August one thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven were buried in the cemetery the body of a baptized panise who died yesterday, aged about ten, belonging to Charles Legault dit Deslauriers senior.
