Jean-Louis de la Corne de Chaptes, (b. October 23, 1666 – d. May 6, 1732) was from Chaptes, France.[1] He arrived in New France in 1685 and, other than a trip home to France, served his whole adult life in the military.[1] He achieved some military honours but little wealth and died leaving his wife in limited circumstances.[1]
He established one of the most important families in New France[1] and his four[citation needed] sons all did well. One son, Louis de la Corne, Chevalier de la Corne was both a successful soldier and a fur trader[2] while another son, Luc de la Corne became one of the wealthiest men in Canada.[3][clarification needed] A third son, François-Josué de la Corne Dubreuil was an active soldier and trader.[4] All four were awarded the cross of Saint Louis as was Jean-Louis.[1]
