From Francois Hertel's (Hertel-3) profile: "In 1690 the governor of New France decided to retaliate against a perceived British-sponsored atrocity at Lachine. Three columns would be sent to lay waste to British settlements. Francois was sent against Fort Rollinsford at Salmon Falls, New Hampshire. He assembled a party consisting of 25 French, many of them his relatives, including his three eldest sons, his nephew Louis Crevier (his mother'sgodson), Nicolas Gastineau Duplessis and Jacques Maugras (one of his sister's husbands). Twenty Sokoki and five Algonquin Indians were also in the party.
A two-month march in the depth of winter took the party to Salmon Falls on the night of 27 March. Three columns of eight men made a simultaneous night attack on the fort and town. Surprise was total. Within two hours the place was gone. Between 30 and 43 Englishmen were killed, 54 taken prisoner, 27 houses burned down, and the cattle of the settlement set loose. The French lost two, one of them Jacques Maugras."

"Jacques Mogras" (Maugras) was perhaps one of the coureurs de bois who signed the “Pageant of the Sault” when he was with François Daumont de Saint Lusson, the four Jesuit priests from nearby missions, Jolliet, others, and translator Nicolas Perrot at Sault Ste. Marie on June 14, 1671 to claim the great lakes and their tributaries for France. Intendant of New France Jean Talon had sent out the expedition to head off claims by the English. You can find this La Potherie account in Pierre Margry, Découvertes et Établissements des François dans l’ Amérique Septentrionale, volume I, pp. 96-99.
