The parents of the Picote are Francois Marie Picote and Marie Catherine Trottier de Beaubien.
James Duffield arrived Moose Factory, Hudson Bay, and reported that he found there, a nest of free and accepted Masons - a scandalous society.

It would appear that (III)-Oliver Garao, alias Perrin de Louarget, spent 1741 and 1742 in Bout de I'lle, Montreal, Quebec, attending to his sick father and pregnant wife. LaRonde hosted a peace council between the Ojibwa and Dakota at Fort La Pointe, Ojibwa Country.
La Verendrye sent his sons on a return visit to the Mandan tribe on the Missouri, to explore the area west and south of there. This is likely a reference to his orders of April 9, 1742 and their trip in 1743. Much confusion exists this year as (II)-Pierre Gauthier de Varennes et de La Verendrye (1685-1749), some say, arrived back in the west this year with plans to build forts at Lakes Bourbon and Dauphin, (Manitoba), when he had promised to explore the route to the Western Sea. It's possible the pressure he is under caused some confusion.
A La Verendrye son brought horses from the Missouri to Fort La Reine on the Assiniboine River. His father claimed the Mandan had no horses? The Metis established a trading post at Lake Bourbon on Fort Island, on the lower course of the Saskatchewan River; at a point where it enters Cedar Lake. Verendrye called Cedar Lake and Lake Winnipeg, Lake Bourbon. Fort Dauphin is established at the portage to Lake Winnipegosis, on the northwest shore of Lake Winnipeg. It is also called Lac des Prairies.

The Ababco a sub-tribe of the Algonquian nation are recorded on the south bank of the Choptank River in Maryland. It is noteworthy that by 1837, only their mixed blood decedents remained.
It is reported that the Foxes have killed some Frenchmen in the Illinois Country. Marquis De Beauharnois, Baron De Longeuil, La Corne, De Lignery and others reported to King Louis XV that they are determined to exterminate the Fox Nation. The French decide to wage war in secret rather than to openly declare war. This will further infuriate the Western Peoples.
(I)-Vitus Bering and (I)-Alexi Chirikov, Russians from Kamchatka, landed Sitka, Oregon Territory. They sent a small boat ashore, but never heard from these men again and assume they were captured by the Indians, or that they deserted.

1742
(I)-Charles de Beauharnois de La Boische (1671-1749, Governor New France (1726-1747), finally realized that the French policy of encouraging the Dakota Sioux to war on the Assiniboine and Cree was a major strategic error. The French were horrified to discover the Ojibwa Nation had joined the the Assiniboine and Cree in completely driving the Dakota Sioux out of Rainy Lake and the Rainy River area (Ontario). Some estimate that over 6,000 People died because of this French sustained war. Prior to the incursion of the French, these people lived in relative peace and intermarried. The Dakota would remember this divide and conquer French strategy well into the next century.

(III)-Jean Baptiste Cadotte (1723-1803) departed Montreal, Quebec, June 23, 1742, under contract with Jean Baptiste Roch de Ramesay for Nipigon north of Lake Superior (Ontario), for a three year term. Some researchers contend he never returned to Montreal, Quebec, and became a Coureurs des Bois.
A typical Ojibwa woman's dress.
Joseph la France, the son of a French fur trader, and an Ojibwa woman became the first recorded 'Assinipoval Metis' Freeman to trade with the Hudson Bay Company trading post at York Factory (Manitoba). He arrived in June with a large band of Natives and a cargo of furs. He had set out from Quebec, Quebec, in 1739 after the French had denied him a trading permit. This effectively made him a Coureurs des Bois. He explored and traded Lac Ouinipigon (Lake Winnipeg), Lac Des Prairies (Lake Manitoba and Winnipegosis) and lower Paskoyac (The Pas). Joseph's group of 'Assinipoval Metis' would appreciate the potential of Red River as a significant commercial center. They would understand that pemmican is the fuel of the North West fur trade.
Rice and corn mixed with fat is the current standard.
The Chief Factors at Moose and Albany protested the appointment of a Captain of a supply ship to positions on the posts governing councils, as this was an infringement of their independence. The London Committee rebuked the factors, telling them to devote their limited talents to fostering the fur trade and to leave policy matters to London.
The exclusive trading rights awarded to the Indies Company expired this year. As a result of growing resentment against the French, all licenses for western trade are suspended by a Royal edict which also orders all Posts to be auctioned to the highest bidder.
January 1: (III)-Pierre and (III)-Louis Joseph Gautier of Verendrye (1717-1761) and brother (III)-Francois Gaultier Du Tremblay departed Fort La Reine following the Souris River to the Missouri River.

On the way to the Stony Mountains they met the 'Handsome Men Horse', and the 'Men of the Bow'. They reached the Stony Mountains, January 12, 1743, probably the Big Horn range. Some contend they also met the Cheyenne. They finally proved to themselves that the passage to the Western Sea did not lay in that region. Others suggest they only reached the upper Missouri River as far as the Yellowstone River and never sighted the Stony Mountains. This trip took two years.
(II)-Pierre Gauthier de Varennes et de La Verendrye (1685-1749) continued to trade in the Red River region (Manitoba). Bishop Emile Tardiff, in his writings, suggests La Verendrye, with his two sons and two other Frenchmen, reached the Rocky mountains. (II)-Pierre Gauthier de Varennes et de La Verendrye (1685-1749) departed the west for trade goods, but resigned and died December 5, 1749.

He reported a large number of slaves is taken. He reports that there will be more slaves transported to Montreal, Quebec than fur packages this season.
