A plate in the back of the Pointe-à-Callière Museum of Montreal commemorates his digging the first water well, near what is now known as Place-d'Armes, on October 11, 1658, upon request by Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve.

Inscription: « Près d'ici « sur la Place d'Armes du port » Jacques Archambault (1604-1686) ancêtre unique des Archambault d'Amérique creusa en 1658 le premier puits de l'île de Montréal à la demande du gouverneur M. de Maisonneuve. »

Note: 2

Researchers have found in France, the trace of a contract by which Jacques sells, on August 15, 1637, three barrels of white wine to Hiérome Bonnevye, wine merchant of La Rochelle. It is therefore supposed that he could have been a winemaker.
