Frédéric-Auguste Quesnel
The Hon. Frédéric-Auguste Quesnel (February 4, 1785 – July 28, 1866) M.P., K.C., was a Canadien lawyer, businessman and politician. He held a number of public offices and in politics he was a moderate who represented Chambly in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada (1820-1834); and Montmorency in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada (1841-1844 & 1848-1866). From 1837 to 1841 he sat on the Executive Council of Lower Canada. Condemned by the Patriotes as a ''vendu'' in the Lower Canada Rebellion, in 1860 he was elected President of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society. In 1859, he was elected President of the Banque du Peuple and his achievements in commerce and finance served to show that a French Canadian could make his fortune in business.〔(Dictionary of Canadian Biography )〕 His home, Manoir Souvenir (now a ruin) was one of the early estates of the Golden Square Mile.
==Early life==
In 1785, Quesnel was born at Montreal into a family well known in Canadien gentry society. He was the eldest son of Joseph Quesnel and Marie-Josephte Deslandes, step-daughter of Maurice-Régis Blondeau. His brothers included The Hon. Jules-Maurice Quesnel, a member of the Beaver Club, and his sister was married to The Hon. Côme-Séraphin Cherrier. Like all his brothers, he was educated at the Collège Saint-Raphaël from 1796 to 1803. Afterwards, he articled in the law offices of Stephen Sewell, and could speak both French and English fluently.
