Faribault, John Baptist 1769-1860
Pioneer; born in Berthier, Quebec, about 1769; entered the service of the American Company, of which John Jacob Astor was president, in 1796, and was assigned to the Northwest.
After traversing the country he located at Des Moines, Ia., and later on removed to Saint Peter, Minn. After ten years service with the American Company he went into business on his own account, and soon accumulated a fortune, but lost it all in the War of 1812 through the fact of his having taken the American side during the contest.
The English seized him at Mackinac as a trader and kept him confined for a short period.
He died in Faribault, Minn. (which city had been founded by his son Alexander), in 1860.
