Joseph Howard (fur trader)

Joseph Howard (died 5 December 1797) was born in England and came to Montreal in 1760. He became one of the first English merchants from Montreal to enter the fur trade, an enterprise controlled by the French from that city up until the Seven Years War. One of his partners was George Allsopp and they conducted a substantial trade, much of it unlicensed.
