Jean Baptiste Campeau was born in Montreal on 4 Aug 1711 and baptized the same day at Notre-Dame de Montreal to Jacques Campo and Cécile Catin [1]
Jean Baptiste Campeau, son of Jacques Campeau and Cecile Catin of the parish of Montreal married Catherine Perthius, daughter of Pierre Perthius and Catherine Mallet, residents of Detroit, on 27 Jan 1737 in Detroit [2][3] [4]
Jean Baptiste was Royal Notary and Justice of the Peace in Detroit[4]
Jean Baptiste Campeau, widower of Louise Perthuis (sic Catherine died 20 years earlier so being mis-identified as Louise could be due to vague memory of her), age about 72 years, died 12 Jun 1783 and was buried the next day in the cemetery of Ste Anne du Detroit. [5][6]
In the early years of Ste. Anne Parish, its dead were buried either in the church or just outside the stockade, around Jefferson Avenue and Griswold Street. As the church moved (the one that burned in the Great Fire of 1805 was the sixth building) and the city grew, some remains were moved several times.
They were all relocated to their final resting place in a mass grave in Mount Elliott Cemetery in 1869.[7]
