Jonathan Würtele

Jonathan Würtele

Jonathan Würtele (September 16 1792 – November 19 1853) was a seigneur, merchant and political figure in Lower Canada.

He was born in Quebec City in 1792, the son of a merchant of German origin. He entered business at Quebec and took over the operation of his father's business when his father retired in 1819. He married Louisa Sophia, the sister of notary Archibald Campbell, in 1824. In 1830, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada for William-Henry. He voted against the Ninety-Two Resolutions, although he sometimes supported the parti patriote in the assembly. When his father died in 1831, he inherited the seigneuries of Deguire (also known as Rivière-David) and Bourg-Marie-Est. Würtele was named commissioner for the trail of small causes in 1836 and also served as president of the school board.

He died at his manor in 1853.

His son Jonathan Saxton later became a judge and was speaker for the Quebec legislative assembly.
