Baudry, who was also written as Beaudry, also went by Des Butes, or Desbutes. He married an armourer’s daughter at Quebec and they settled at Trois-Rivières. They had fifteen children and ensured the future of their family in the area. One son, Jean-Baptiste, became a gunsmith and was one of the first inhabitants of Detroit.
