TROUVE, Claude, French clergyman, born in the diocese of Tours, France, in 1642; died probably in Canada about the close of the 17th century. He was educated by the Sulpitians in Paris, was ordained a subdeacon, and sent with Francois Salignac de la Motte Fenelon, the brother of the illustrious archbishop of Cambrai, to Canada in June, 1667. He was ordained a priest soon after his arrival. He was then appointed to take charge of an Iroquois mission at the western extremity of Lake Ontario. He reached the village of Kente on 28 October, 1668, and began his labors. He was joined by other missionaries the following year, and, with their aid, established missions at the villages of Gandaseteiagon and Ganeraske. He was at Port Royal in 1690, when that town was taken by Sir William Phipps, and was brought as a prisoner to Boston, contrary to the terms of the capitulation. He was exchanged toward the end of the year, and returned to Canada, where he con-tinned his missionary labors.
