Amyot, Colbert, was born in Quebec, went up with the Hudson's Bay Company, was with Admiral Bayfield in the survey of the thirty thousand islands of Georgian Bay in the old Recovery. He accompanied the admiral to Fort William, and with Hippolyte Brissette and William Cowan, also half breeds, helped to build the new Recovery, a sailing vessel, with which they completed the survey. His ancestors were Charles (married to Genevieve de Chavigny) and Joseph Jean Baptiste Amyot, of Vincelotte, Quebec, the original grantees of that fief in 1672. He has a son, Colbert, living at St. Joseph Island, and another at St. Ignace, Mich. He was married to a daughter of the interpreter, Wm. Solmon. (See Louie Solmon's Narrative.)
Giroux, Pierre, the grantee of Park lot No. 4, Tiny Reserve, in 1834. He was one of Adjutant Keating's party in the capture of the American schooner near Drummond Island. He was severely frozen while on his way from Giant's Tomb Island and suffered amputation of both hands and feet. Some of his descendants are living in Tiny. Giroux, Joseph, died at the age of 76 and was buried at Lafontaine.
Solomon, Jessie, became the wife of Charles Rousseau, then married Colbert Amyot, and died at St. Joseph Island. A son Colbert, is still living there.
