Charles Léonard Lepallieur was born on 4 June 1766, the son of Charles Lepallieur and Louise Roy. He decided to embark on a career as a fur trader in 1790, heading out to Michilimackinac, and later to the north-eastern United States. Though he initially had very poor luck with his business, he eventually found some success.
Letter from Charles Leonor LePallieur to James Morrison, arranging his affairs before he leaves for the United States. He explains to Morrison that he has leased his portion of meadow and orchard to Mr. Foucher for 30 pounds a year, and he has requested the Mr. Fourcher also pay the Sulpicians in hay for LePallieur's outstanding debt for boarding with them. He also asks that Morrison conclude an ongoing lawsuit against Campion, and to deal with any other business that arises on his behalf, having given Morrison his power of attorney.
