Charles was one of the early pioneers of Ile Perrot which is located across the rapids of Ste Anne at the western tip of the island of Montreal. Once the seigneury of Francois Perrot, it had been in its early years, a fur trading center. When Joseph Trottier dit Desruisseaux became seigneur of the island on August 27, 1703, he started a plan for its colonization. He built a stone house on the south side of the island at Windmill Point. It stood until the early 20th century. He also had a windmill constructed nearby around 1709. Eleven land concessions were initially granted on the point. "L'Histoire de L'Ile Perrot" by V.Carriere, 1949 and D. Giouard's "Lake Saint Louis, Old and New", 1893 both state that Charles had the 5th lot west of the seigneurial domain. Charles Daoust
