Lauzon Jean De
Born, 1582. Governor of New France, 1651-1656; had
already been associated with the interests of the colony by reason of
his position as president of the Company of New France, and had used his
office to acquire the island of Montreal and Point Levis opposite
Quebec. His administration as governor made odious not only by a long
series of public mistakes, but by his too obvious intention of using the
office to enrich himself and his sons. Returned to France in 1656; and
mentioned in contemporary narratives as late as 1660. =Index=: (Samuel de Champlain era)
Intendant of Company of New France, 170; objects to return of Recollets,
225. (Count Frontenac era) Governor, 38; returns to France, 42. =Bib.=: Douglas, Old
France in the New World; Parkman, Old Regime.
