Source for the Sorcery of Rene Bresnard

Question

Lafrost in Our French-Canadian Ancestors at Vol 7 p 85 gives includes a footnote to a citation for the sorcery of Rene Besnard as “Benjamin Sulte, HCF, Volume V.” 

This is quite a colorful footnote, but I’ve been unable to find this source online and notice that his WT profile don’t seem to include it either.

I assume the source is Histoire des Canadiens-Français, 1608-1880. I’ve found nothing in the Ancestry.com copy. Am I just missing something?

Answer 1

Editing my answer as I found other information.

Searching the Internet Archive using “Benjamin Sulte” in quotes entered in the Text Contents field I did find HCF Volume V. I'm not sure that will help you locate the source.

I may have found Rene at Banq.gc.ca by searching Bourjoly.

Answer 2

The information pointed to from Page 85 in Our French-Canadian ancestors is on Page 63 of HCF Volume V, which is data from RECENSEMENT DE 1681.

Answer 3

This is the first source: Livre / book: La vie libertine en Nouvelle-France au XVIIe siècle / Robert-Lionel Séguin (don't know which page, don't have this one)

Also briefly mentioned in: Livre / book ''Montréal 1653, La Grande Recrue'' Michel Langlois, Éd. Septentrion 2003, ISBN 2-89448-361-9 pg 78

He got banned from Montréal by Maisonneuve due to all his ''magic''.  The woman he wanted who preferred another was Marie Pontonnier.  More on the story on her profile (in French).
