Charles Cardinal was one of at least 5 children born to Pierre Cardinal and Madeleine Cesar.  He came into this world on May 17, 1718 at Lachine, Quebec, Canada.  He had at least two brothers, Jean Baptiste and Francois, and two sisters, Marie Angelique and Marie Joseph.

Charles was married twice. His first wife was Marie Catherine Deniau and they were married on January 19, 1750 in Lachine.   No children have been identified from this union and it is likely Marie Catherine perished just a few short years after their marriage.

Charles married his second wife Susanne Amable Massiot on 20 January 1755 in Lachine.  To this marriage was born at least six daughters and one son: Suzanne-Catherine, Charles, Marie, Marie-Josephe, Suzanne, Marguerite, and Archange.  Suzanne-Catherine and Marguerite both died as infants and Marie-Josephe perished at the age of ten.

Charles is thought to have died himself in or around 1770, although documentation has not yet been located.

Charles Cardinal was my 2nd cousin 8x removed.
