A settlement of Canadien traders was this year reported as existing at La Baye, in Wisconsin.

[4] In 1731, at the end of the Fox Indian Wars, the Canadiens, under the command of Godefroy, returned to Trempealeau and established another trading post.

[5] In 1732, the post of La Baye was rebuilt under command of Nicolas Antoine Coulon de Villiers.

Godefroy, with a company of fur traders, rebuilt the Lake Pepin post.
