Antoine ADHEMAR dit ST-MARTIN
1687

At the time of his third marriage Adhémar was about to move to Montreal, where he had been summoned by Dollier de Casson, to replace Hilaire Bourgine as clerk of the court for seigneurial justice. On 2 May 1687 Casson gave him his commission. Pursuing his career, but confining himself now to his responsibilities as notary and clerk of court, Adhémar also devoted much attention to the interests of the widow and under-age children of his brother-in-law Jean Aubuchon, who had been murdered in 1685. A large number of deeds, in which he appears in his capacity as guardian, concern this estate...

On leaving the Trois-Rivières region in 1687, Adhémar had sold his land at Champlain to his brother-in-law, Jean Cusson; Jacques Babie* had bought from him his “two oxen and the cow which are at M. Cusson’s” for 140 livres.

...In Montreal he rapidly became recognized as the notary of the merchants dealing in furs and the coureurs de bois.
