Notes for Pierre Pitre:
Both Pierre & Anne's families took refuge on Ile St. Jean as they are found in the 1752 census. This difficult respite was short-lived. The couple married in 1753 and produced 3 children before Pierre's early death in 1757. Whatever became of the rest of the family is unknown to me, only that Francois Xavier lived long enough to marry (his widow's burial entry reads thus: Modeste Chavery, about 94 yrs old, d. Feb. 16, 1845, bur. Feb. 18, 1845, widow of Xavier Pitre, witness: Emmanuel --?--, Pierre Samson.)
