His son, Louis-Joseph Papineau (1786-1871) was elected to the House of Assembly in 1809 and occupied the chair of Speaker almost constantly until the Rebellion of 1837-1838. Leader of the Reformers, he took no active part in the uprising but was obliged to flee to the United States. He later went to France, where he stayed until 1845. On his return, he sat again in the Legislative Assembly, 1848-1854, but not as leader of the party.
His brother, Denis-Benjamin Papineau (1789-1854) did not share his political views and took no part in the Rebellion. He sat in the Legislative Assembly, 1842-1847, and was Commissioner of Crown Lands, 1844-1847. Louis-Joseph-Amédée Papineau (1819-1903), eldest son of Louis-Joseph, went into exile with his father in 1837 and studied law in the United States. On his return to Canada, he was named Pronotary of the Court of Queen's Bench. Casimir-Fidèle Papineau (1826-1892), son of Denis-Benjamin, was notary in Montréal; his daughter Mercedes married the musician Guillaume Couture (1851-1915).Additional information:General note:The collection was assembled from diverse sources between 1922 and 2009. Substantial portions of the documents were presented by Miss Augustine Bourassa and Mrs. Angelita O'Neill, grand-daughters of Louis-Joseph Papineau, and Miss Françoise MacKay, grand-daughter of Denis-Benjamin Papineau. The glass plates of Toussaint and Augustin Papineau have been donated to National Archives by Anne Bourassa in 1999.Subject heading:- Lower Canada - Politics and government, 1791-1841 Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours, n.d
