Notes:

Also known as Charles Mosseaux Mousseau.

From “Kim” on the internet: “Charles arrived from Montreal at age 21 working for the Hudson Bay Company. Arrived at Fort Snelling in 1827. Helped build the fort and stayed seven years. Married Fannie Perry in 1835. They settled in Mendota in a home furnished them by General Sibley. Children: Henry 1836, David 1838, Anthony 1841, Mary 1843, Paul 1856, Sophia 1858, Mitchell 1845, Ellen 1851, Bernard 1854, Minnie 1862.”

Another poster says that Charles is cited in "Pig's Eye's Notepad: A Historical Encyclopedia of St Paul, MN." That citation is:

MOUSSEAU, CHARLES - Born in 1807 in Canada, he came to Minnesota in 1827 as a voyageur with the American Fur Company. In 1827, he was married at Fort Snelling to Fanny Perry, and in the fall of 1838, he staked a claim on Dayton's Bluff in St. Paul. In 1848, he sold that claim to Eben Weld, and moved to Hennepin County where he resided until his death. Charles and Fanny had 12 children, among them: Charles (1834), Henri (1836), David (1838), Antoine (1840), Michel (1846), Marie Anne (1842), Sophie (1848), and Bernard (1854).

Phil says that Charles was one of some 50 retired voyageurs who traveled to Minnesota from Canada.

Marie Mousseau-Hendrickson cites an 1896 newspaper article that says that the Mousseaus were the first white people to settle on the site of Minneapolis and that the Mousseaus assisted in the construction of the Stevens House, now in Minnehaha Park. Charles lived in Mendota, Lake Calhoun area, St. Anthony, St. Paul, and Minneapolis.

One internet poster believes that Charles was the son of Joseph who was the son of Jacques.

In the 1830 census, there is a head of family named Charles Mousseau living in Michilimackinac County, Michigan Territory. At that time, Michigan Territory included what is now the north side of the Mississippi River in what was to become the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

In the 1840 census, the area Charles lives in is still part of Iowa Territory. Officially, it’s in the St. Peter’s precinct of Clayton County, Iowa Territory. The census is only a listing of the heads of household with tallies for the ages of the various members of the household. Charles’s household has 3 male children under 5 years old, 1 male in his 30s, 1 male in his 60s, 1 female under 5, 1 female between 10 and 14, and two women in their 20s. This suggests that Charles’s father, and some of Charles’s siblings, may have accompanied him from Canada.

In the 1850 census, Charles is a lumberman, living with his family in Saint Anthony, Ramsey County, Minnesota Territory.

The family lived on a farm in the 2nd ward of Minneapolis in the 1860 census.

The family was still living in the 2nd ward in the 1870 census. Charles is now a house painter. Sons Henry and David live in adjoining households to Charles and Fannie.

In the 1880 census, Charles lives with his daughter Sophie Bourdeaux and her family.
