Jacques LeGardeur of Saint Pierre (1701-1755) established St. Pierre's Fort (Winnipeg).
Jonquiere dit Saint Pierre established a fort Nipawin (Saskatchewan).
Niverville sent a party of ten Frenchmen from Fort Poskoyac at the Forks of the North & South Saskatchewan River up the South Saskatchewan to the banks of the Bow River to build Fort La Jonguiere (Calgary).
Francois Marie Picote, sieur de Belestre (1719-1793) led a raid on the La Demoiselle's village, where he was wounded and returned to France for treatment.
(III)-Louis Joseph Gautier of Verendrye (1717-1761), Chevalier de Le Verendrye operated La Pointe, Ojibwa Country (Wisconsin) until 1755. Marin son Pierre Paul Marin? of Green Bay, New France (Wisconsin), and Verendrye of La Pointe, Ojibwa Country (Wisconsin), are in constant wrangle over their respective rights to the upper Mississippi region. Paul Marin de la Malgue (La Marque) (1692-1753), commandant La Baye, New France (Wisconsin) says that in 1753-54 he procured 700 packs fur from his Green Bay station, New France (Wisconsin), and if La Verandrie had not stopped, his people he would have made 'un coup' such as Green Bay, New France (Wisconsin) had never made before. Marin's people operated out of Fort Duquesne (L'Assomption) (Pittsburg, Co. Allegheny, Pennsylvania) at the Crow and Mississippi Rivers. He also had another post near Hastings, Minnesota. This wrangling suggests both parties are employing the Coureurs des Bois to trade the North West.
(III)-Jean Baptiste Cadot (1723-1803), in the employ of Louis Le Gardeur, Sieur De La Repentigny, is reported living at Sault Ste Marie, New France (Michigan/Ontario). The Fort at Sault Ste Marie, New France (Michigan) is 110 feet square, enclosing three houses. A bull, two heads of cattle, three cows, two heifers, a horse and a mare have been brought from Fort Michilimackinac, New France (Michigan). The Frenchman (actually a Metis) and his wife had cleared the land and planted grain. The Frenchman, however, had no intentions of becoming a farmer, and two Indian slaves are employed to work the land.
Major Jean Jacques Macarty-Mactique arrived in April to become commandant. Governor Vaudreuil had decided to build the fort in the Illinois Country, but unrest among Indian tribes and government policy calling for growth led officials to move the fort location back to Kaskaskia. Commandant Macarty, however, pushed Vaudreuil to reconsider, arguing that Fort de Chartres was a more advantageous location. He couldn’t persuade the governor. But before construction began Vaudreuil was replaced by Governor Kerlerec, who agreed with Macarty.

May 29: The Chevalier Jacques Repentigny LeGardeur of Saint-Pierre (1701-1755), originally commander of Fort Michilimackinac, New France (Michigan), dispatched a party of ten men in two canoes this spring (May 29) to build a trading post near the forks of the Saskatchewan, North West Territories, which they called Fort La Jonquiere (Nipawin, Saskatchewan). LeGardeur is actually stationed at Fort La Reine (Portage la Prairie, Manitoba) from 1750 to 1752. Some contend this fort is built near Calgary, Alberta and abandoned in 1759. This story suggests that a party of ten Frenchmen were dispatched by Boucher de Nioerville (Niverville), Lieutenant under command of Jacques LeGardeur of Saint Pierre (1701-1755), to established Post La Jonquiere on the Saskatchewan River, near the mountains. Bishop Emile Tardiff, in his writings, supports the story that De Niverville built Fort La Jonquiere at, or near, Calgary. These stories or expeditions were fueled by the 1745 reports from the Cree, who said the Poskoyac River (Saskatchewan River) started in the very lofty mountains, and over the mountains a great lake exists, the water of which is undrinkable.

Two slaves are baptized Mackinac, New France (Michigan), this season: Louis Hubert age 3 slave Louis Le Gardeur Chevalier de Repentigni and Catherine age 7 slave Alexis (Alexander) Sejourne alias Sans Chagrin, a voyager who is married to Mari Taro.
Louis Luc (Chevalier) de La Corne de Chapt seigneur de Terrebonne b-1704 is commander from 1753 to 1755 of La Verendrye's Post of the Western Sea (Fort La Reine, Portage Laprairie, Manitoba). He is hiring voyagers during this command for Grand Portage and la mer du Ouest. In 1756 he is also hiring for poste des Illinois. Jacques Legardeur (1701-1755) was the former commander, and said (Joseph?) Martin Jr. had gone to Missilimakina with the Sioux.
Chevalier, (II)-Louis De La Corne (1711-1761) of Saint-Luc became commander of the North West and established Fort La Corne (Fort Saint Louis) near the forks of the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers. He retained his commission until 1757. He explored the Carrot River Valley. Others suggest that Fort a La Corne (Fort Des Prairies or Upper Nipawi), at the forks of the Saskatchewan, is built by Verendrye in 1748. Still others suggest (II)-Louis La Corne of Saint-Luc (1703-1761) becomes the commandant of trade for all the North West Territories, including the Hudson Bay, replacing (II)-Pierre Gaultier (1686-1749) Sieur de la Verendrye and (IV)-Pierre Paul LaGardeur (1657-1736) of Saint Pierre before him. Earlier exploration had reached the Stony (Rocky) Mountains, possibly driven by trade or their quest for discovery of the route to the Western Sea. The important task now is to consolidate their position before the English made any moves on this territory. Joe Fromhold suggests they established a sizable farming operation at Fort La Corne. They claim the fort imported carts, oxen, and farming equipment by canoe from Quebec and that they grew the first wheat west of the Great Lakes. This claim is likely not correct.
Paul Marin de la Malgue (La Marque) (1692-1753) is recorded as commandant of Green Bay, New France (Wisconsin). Paul Marin is commissioned by the Governor General of New France to establish a series of forts to secure the Ohio Valley from English traders. In 1754 he established Fort Duquesne New France (L'Assomption (Pittsburg, Co. Allegheny, Pennsylvania).
Ange Duguesne Governor dispatched Pierre Paul Marin (1692-1753) de La Malgue to occupy the Ohio Valley. The British government had given permission to the governor of the Virginia Colony to use force against the French. George Washington, Tanaghrisson and two other chiefs arrived at Ohio from the New England Colony of Virginia, December 11, to counter the French move.
Paul Marin de la Malgue (Marque) (1692-1753) had established Fort Presque Isle (Lake Erie) Fort Le Bouse (Waterford, Pennsylvania) and drove a force of 1,600 to secure the Ohio Valley and lost 800 men to death or illness.
The Cree advised the Hudson Bay Company that 30 Canadian in 7 canoes are intercepting the furs of the Assiniboine. Some claim the Hudson Bay Company is actively provoking the Cree against the Canadian Peddlers. Twenty Canadians blocked the Severn River, effectively eliminating Hudson Bay Company trade on this river. The head of Fort Albany, James Bay, wrote that the Peddlers guarded all the tributaries and all arms of the Albany River (Ontario). They complained that the Indians can no longer reach their post. He said that little shacks of five, ten or twenty men are set up everywhere. In the spring the Peddlers take their furs to Quebec, Quebec. In the autumn they return and reoccupy their shacks, so as to gather the high-quality winter pelts. (I)-Thomas White, Chief Factor Moose Factory (Ontario), writing to (I)-James Isham d-1761, mentioned the trade here is the same or worse.
Those French Canadians built Fort-a-la-Corne about 20 miles down stream from the junction of the north and south Saskatchewan Rivers.

Fort Duquesne, New France (L'Assomption) (Pittsburg, Co. Allegheny, Pennsylvania) located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers- at the site of present day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was begun by the British. In April 1754, it was captured by the French Sieur de Contrecoeur and completed.
Lisbon, Portugal is destroyed by earthquake and tidal wave. The ministers in Boston proclaimed it was punishment for the sacrilege of using lightning rods, invented in 1753, to avert the wrath of God.
