A document discovered later shows us that François-Xavier Prud'homme received from the lords of Montreal, on November 14, 1694, a Another land of two arpents wide and twenty arpents long to the west of The Côte Ste-Catherine. To situate ourselves, let us say that it is at the Neighborhoods of Outremont and Côte-des-Neiges, facing the University of Montreal. Thanks to the "Groupe de recherche sur Montréal" (ADHÉMAR project) Canadian Center for Architecture, we also learned that FrançoisXavier Prud'homme also owned a lot and a residence Rue St-Paul, south of the Domaine des Récollets, in Old Montreal Between 1688 and 1707; A few years before the start of the Fortifications of the city in 1716. Its immediate neighbors were his brother Pierre and his brother-in-law Jacques Cauchois (husband of Élizabeth). These lots Came from the fragmentation of the land of Pierre Gadois that their mother Roberte had given them an inheritance before his death in 1716. 6
