Montreal was founded May-18-1642. How many inhabitants (pilgrims not Indians) were living in Montreal on 01-01-1642?

I'm not sure if Tree wasn't among the first 50th who founded Montreal Wink but let's just say that the count was less than 48 .So it was between 1 and 48 on 01-01-1642. BTW the "party" was going on in Quebec city ,in those years, which was founded in 1608. (that's where they learn that giving booze to Indians was not a good idea)

As a side note, as mentioned by SR ,Montreal was called Ville-Marie in the old days, and before that, it was called "Hochelaga" by the Hurons inhabitants, which means: "where the rivers meet"

I found a site that mentioned 'a few dozen' settlers. I was trying to find something more specific.
