You can find reference to his daughter Catherine in the Metis records kept by the French until 1800 or so. It also mentions a sister of the same father being born/baptized. I believe she was one of four children born from Peter Henry Dufour b:13 May 1754. My estimation of four children comes from independent research that indicated 4 children of the same Indian mother "Sophie Couvillon" under the patriarchal name Dufor(t) which I believe is a misspelling or incorrect transcribing of a signature.

The metis directory can be found online here: http://www.telusplanet.net/public/dgarneau/metis-c.htm

and the research sample of a related name is here: http://www.bouvette.com/family/DUFAULT_Therese_1784/searchin...
