    Notes 
    • According to Fr. C. Denissen's Genealogy of the French Families of the Detroit River Region and
      The Askin Papers, Simon was buried at Detroit, Oct 21, 1733, but there is no mention of this in the Ste. Anne, Detroit, registers. He possibly was confused with a Simon Drouillard who was buried from Ste. Anne in Oct 1753. This latter Simon was supposedly around the age of 45 years at the time of his death in Detroit. We are unable to identify him.

      One thing is clear, Simon Drouillard and Anne Cadoret entered into two agreements before notary Claude Barolet:

      1) 10 Oct 1734 in which it states that Simon and his wife, Anne, were living in Quebec on rue du Sault au Matelot

      2) 10 Feb 1735 which was filed 06 May 1735. He was listed as being deceased in the 1744 census at Quebec.

      We have made numerous unsuccessful attempts to locate Simon's death date or any wills made by either Simon or Anne Cadoret
