Louis-Joseph-Amédée Papineau, or Amédée Papineau (1819-1903) the founder of the Société des Fils de la Liberté. He was the son of Louis-Joseph Papineau the political leader of the Rebellions of 1837 in Lower Canada and was also involved in the rebellion himself. He is also the uncle of the journalist Henri Bourassa, the founder of the newspaper Le Devoir. Amédée Papineau had 2 wives. The first one was Mary Eleanor Westcott; an American citizen. They married in Sararoga Spring, U.S.A. in 1846 and she died in 1890. He married his second wife at the age of 78. Her name was Martha Jane Curren Iona and she was 25. Both marriages produced children.〔(-1.13972 French website on M" Papineau's family )〕 One of Amédée Papineau's grandchildren was nicknamed "Tan" Papineau. Tan considered himself to be a 'black sheep' of the Papineau family. He lived off of the grounds of Chateau Montebello, in the Manoir, Montebello QC, but was employed summers at Camp Lewis,(1964-1972 ) a Montreal boy's welfare camp located outside of St. Adolphe d'Howard, QC. Tan was in charge of the boat house, maintaining the canoes, row boats and other equipment. He told many stories of his childhood memories of his father and grandfather. Tan's connections and interactions with First Nations people helped form the content from which Camp Lewis' folk lore tales, and First Nations costumes, and 16 to 20 foot tripper canoes and authentic totem poles for the camp were gleaned. == Bibliography == * ''Journal d'un Fils de la Liberté (1838-1855)''.
