Raphaël Lambert Closse (1618–1662) was a merchant when he disembarked at Ville-Marie, Nouvelle-France in 1647.
His exact date of birth is unknown, however, he was born in Mogues in the Ardennes department of today's northern France.[1]
He became a public notary, as well as Sergeant Major of the garrison of Ville-Marie.
