Charles-René Dejordy de Villebon

Charles-Rene Dejordy de Villebon (June 12, 1715 – November 15, 1761) was from Saint-Sulpice, Quebec.

In 1758 - 1760, he took over the financial burden of the fur monopoly as the last of the western commanders, Louis-Joseph being his predecessor.

This was a time of war and six of the eight French posts were either destroyed by Indians loyal to the English or abandoned by the Canadiens.

He, his wife, his sister and his three children died of the coast off Cape Breton aboard the ship Auguste.

At his departure time and that immediately following, the confusion surrounding the conquest of Canada had him accused of some serious crimes of which, in all likelihood, he was innocent.
