Joseph McLoughlin had one wife and no recorded children. On July 8, 1839 at Fort Vancouver, he married Victoire McMillan, the daughter of James McMillan. After Joseph died, Victoire and Pierre LaCourse married on 18th of July 1850 in St Paul, Oregon.
~
Joseph McLoughlin, whose mother died while giving birth, was left as a child with Angus Bethune. As a young man at Fort Vancouver he weekly beat the furs (as some of the beaver furs from the Snake region had sand in them), a task which was often assigned to children of the fort. Although he appears to have been integrated in with the other children of the McLoughlin family, he received little or no education unlike his younger brother John who was trained to be a doctor and David who trained to be an engineer. He was a great admirer of his step-brother Thomas McKay and appears to have joined the HBC in 1827 as an apprentice clerk on the coastal trade. Joseph "rode like a centaur" a contemporary John Dunn wrote of him. He worked largely out of Fort Vancouver, but was noted as being at the Honolulu office in 1836-1837, and he retired on January 1, 1840 when he settled near Champoeg. He died eight years later from the delayed effects of a fall over a cliff in the Umpqua Region and was buried in the original St. Paul's Cemetery along with Louis LaBonte, Etienne Lucier and others from the fur trade.
