Cadet Pierre Robinau de Portneuf, nearly twenty-one years old at this time, had been stationed at Michilimackinac; Jean-Pierre Asselin, "Robinau de Portneuf, Pierre," in DCB, 3:560-61. 4. Livres de compte de Charles Nolan Lamarque 1727 a 1729 et 1734 a 1736, Montreal, les 21, 23, et 26 juin 1729,4 pages, Archives nationales du Quebec a Montreal (hereafter cited as ANQ-M), microfilm M 4/1. 5. The fifty-two pots of wine were counted twice by Lamarque, once in the 145# lOs subtotal, and again in the 239# subtotal. The Parisian pot contained nearly two liters or about one-half gallon (Lester A. Ross, Archaeological Metrology: English, French, American aHd Canadian Systems of Weights arid Measures for North Americarl Historical Archaeology, History and Archaeology Series No. 68 [Hull, Quebec: Canadian Government Publishing Centre, Supply and Services Canada, 1983], 74). 6. See the partnership agreement of 1 March 1730, document 5, for information on Clignancour, who was St. Pierre's partner for many years; Favery was distantly related to St. Pierre and was a partner of La Ronde and Clignancour. 7. This appears to be an overcharge of 100 percent by Lamarque's clerk. The price per pot ofbrandy is fifty sols (2 1/2livres); fifteen pots times 2 112 livres is 37 112 livres, not the 75 livres charged. Note that the charge for the officers' brandy, above, was correctly calculated. 8.
