I am by no means an expert, ok?But, we do know that Hilaire grew up in Vaudreuil which is located at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers, so there was lots and lots of water, right?So, I think he was a voyageur, or traveler, by boat, traveling back and forth across the river moving goods and/or people, and making a living that way.Another reason why I think that, is because his 14 year old son died by drowning.Perhaps he wanted to be a voyageur like his dad, and it ended tragically.That's just pure speculation on my part.I'm always looking for connections.Glad I could help you.Annie
