Édouard-Louis-Antoine-Charles Juchereau Duchesnay was a political figure in Canada East and a Conservative member of the Senate of Canada. He was born in Quebec City in 1809, the son of Michel-Louis Juchereau Duchesnay and Charlotte-Hermine-Louise-Catherine d'Irumberry de Salaberry, who was the daughter of Ignace-Michel-Louis-Antoine d'Irumberry de Salaberry. He studied law and was called to the bar in 1832, but never practiced. He inherited the seigneuries of Fossambault and Gaudarville when his father died in 1838. He served as deputy adjutant-general in the Lower Canada militia from 1839 to 1842 and was later a lieutenant-colonel in the Portneuf militia.
