Joseph de La Roche Daillon (died 1656, Paris) was a French Catholic missionary to the Huron Indians and a Franciscan ''Récollet'' priest. He is best remembered in Canada as an explorer and missionary, and in the United States as the discoverer of oil near the Allegany River. He was the son of Jacques de La Roche, seigneur of Daillon in Anjou, and of Jeanne Froyer of La Baronnière. La Roche's career as a missionary lasted less than five years in the 1620s. ==Arrival in Quebec and among the Hurons, 1625== La Roche arrived at Quebec City from Dieppe on June 19, 1625, to become a missionary to the Hurons. His superiors having requested him to go and lend his assistance to Father Nicolas Viel, a missionary to the Hurons, he had already gone as far as Trois-Rivières in the company of St. Jean de Brébeuf, when he learned of Father Viel’s death, which had occurred on June 25. Both Hurons and French then persuaded them to turn back. On July 14, 1626, he set out again, and after a successful trip made in Huron canoes, he at last arrived at the village of Toanché. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph de La Roche Daillon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
