- When Jean Lemire married, he married into an important family in Quebec. His father in law was Nicholas Marsolet who, according to the historian N.E. Dionne, was with Samuel de Champlain when Quebec was founded in 1608. Marsolet was one of the first native language interpreters in New France in the fur trade, and lived with the Montagnais natives for 27 years. In this capacity he traveled to France during those years to discuss and create native policy with the Jesuits and the king's ministers. When Champlain died, Marsolet left Quebec, returned to France and married his French wife who he took with him back to Quebec where he continued business in the fur trade.
In civic records Jean Lemire is named as preparing an estimate for the building of the presbytery in Québec in November 1664; as preparing a report, along with Paul Chalifour both are called carpenters (charpentiers) on a house at Coulonge on 5 April 1664; and, on 21 June 1664, as delivering it. The most important notice of him, however, is as a carpenter working on the enlargement programme for the cathedral of Québec undertaken in 1684. A contract for the work was signed by him 4 Jan. 1684, and he is credited with constructing out of oak from Batiscan a clocher on the south tower of the cathedral, under the direction of Claude Baillif. He died nine months after beginning work on the cathedral, and it is presumed that Lemire constructed the clocher on the ground for later installation; perhaps it was finished, after his death, by one of his many sons.
Jean Lemere was also involved in city politics. In 1664 when the mayor of Quebec resigned, Lemere served as syndic. In 1667 Lemire was elected syndic for another term.
Jean Lemire is considered the father of all Lemires in Canada today. His son Jean Lemire dit Marsolet, also a carpenter, was with Antoine de LaMothe Cadillac in 1701 and worked a year there building Fort Pontchartrain, the first fort in Detroit. When finished, he returned to Montreal. His name is noted along with others, on a historical marker in Hart Plaza, Detroit. This son also became involved in the fur trade and seems to have been in upper Michigan when Fort Michilimackinac was constructed in 1715, as well. Jean Lemire's daughter Anne Genevieve Lemire was sponsored by her brother to obtain a license to hire voyageurs in the fur trade. She is known to have hired voyageurs for the Fort St. Joseph commandant. Her son Charles Gonneville was a fur trader out of Montreal who owned a home at Fort Michilimackinac next door to Rene Bourassa. Both of these men worked together and were brothers in law, having married sisters with surname La Plante. Charles also worked with his brother Paul. The earliest records of this fort have not been found.
