Jean-Baptiste Vautrin was a French Canadian who came from Ft.
Edouard [?] and entered the service in 1833, coming to the Columbia.
He spent 1837-1851 in the New Caledonia district, and in January
1845, "Vautrin arrived yest'y from Thleuz-cuz with the accs. of
that post, his 9th day thence." Vautrin accompanied Anderson on
his first expedition across the country between Kamloops and Fort
Langley. In December 1842, Anderson wrote in his journal that "Men
employed at house, carting and two (Dubois & Vautrin) being
sawing...." In Oct. 1846, "Vautrin (who has been sick during
the greater part of the week) commenced yesterday the care of a coal
furnace previously built & fired by Gendron." In November, "Yesterday
evening the wife of J. Bte. Vautrin (a daughter of Lolo's) was taken
ill, and shortly after gave birth to a still born child. She
afterwards fell into a state of exhaustion, and I was applied to for
assistance." The woman died. In Dec. Anderson "was under the
disagreeable necessity of chastising one of the servants under my
command ---having occasion to reprimand J. Bte Vautrin for
disrespectful language, which I did quietly in my sitting room, the
man replied in so improper a manner that I was compelled to strike
him a number of blows, in order to maintain that authority without
the possession of which one's efficiency in this country is more
than doubtful." In March 1847 Anderson wrote, "Today Pere
Nobili set out for Kamloops, accompanied by his man & Bapte. Lolo,
together with Vautrin. The last, whose time was expired & who was on
his way out, had my sanction to make an arrangement to accompany Mr.
Nobili till the spring, when he will be disposable for the summer
brigade &c. He has therefore renewed his agreement with HBC for
another year. His wages during the interval of his serving P. Nobili
will be settled in the a/c of the latter at Vancouver." In March
1848, "Pierre Roi & Vautrin employed making ploughs &c. Linneard
repairing harrows &c in preparation for sowing time." I believe
Vautrin retired to Victoria and would have been one of the voyageurs
who paddled Lady Franklin up the waters of the Gorge in March 1861.
