Norman Kittson
Norman Wolfred Kittson (6 March 1814 – 10 May 1888) was one of early Minnesota's most prominent citizens. He was best known as first a fur trader, then a steamboat-line operator and finally a railway entrepreneur and owner of thoroughbred racehorses. He was part of the original syndicate that went on to create the Canadian Pacific Railway. Kittson County, Minnesota is named for him.
==Early years==
Norman Wolfred Kittson was the eighth of ten children,including William I born out of wedlock, born to George Kittson (1779–1832), merchant, Justice of the Peace, clerk of the Commisariat and King's auctioneer at Sorel, and later Principal Cashier of the Bank of Canada in Montreal, both in Lower Canada. Norman Wolfred’s mother, Ann Tucker of Sorel, was the daughter of Sergeant John Tucker (d.1782) of the 53rd Regiment of Foot..〔Archives Canada RG1 L3L page 92907-92922〕 Norman was born 6 March 1814, and baptized on 27 March of the same year in Sorel.〔 Archives Nationales du Quebecm Registre d'État civil non-catholique, district judiciaire de Richelieu ANQ, M-337.〕 His middle name 'Wolfred' was given to Norman to honour a family friend, Wolfred Nelson.
Norman's grandfather, Thomas Kittson (probably died 1777), was in the British Army, probably in the 24th Regiment of Foot〔British National Archives WO121/12/257〕 and was likely killed or taken prisoner in the fall of 1777 at the battle of Saratoga.Thomas was married to Julia Calcutt (1756–1835), who has likely travelled with him with the Regiment in April 1776 from Cork, Ireland to Trois-Rivières.〔 The British Invasion from the North” published by Joel, Munsell’s Sons, London 1887〕
By 1779, Julia was living with Alexander Henry in Montreal, with her infant George. Julia and Alexander had four children born out of wedlock, and did marry by licence in 1785, Montreal, likely after the official news that her husband was deceased. They had a fith child after getting married.〔Archives nationales du Quebec Cote CE601, S63. Film #10064〕
