Doudiet, Jacques Frederic

(fl. 19th century), clergyman. (Rev. Jacques-Frederic Doudiet) In 1844, he came from Switzerland to Canada, where he worked for the French Canadian missionary society to convert French Canadians to Protestantism. Two drawings of his showing Breadalbane in 1845 and Kenyon in 1846 are published in Marianne McLean’s The People of Glengarry (1991). Except for these pictures he is an unknown figure in GC history. Margaret Dixon MacDougall, in her life of Donald Cattanach, mentions that among the people Cattanach entertained at his hospitable house at Laggan were “the mild-voiced, polite French Canadian missionaries from Lower Canada.” Quite possibly, Doudiet was at some time one of these guests.
