Notes:

His name may have been Jan Pietr. Either for social acceptance or by mispronounciation, he became Jean Pitre. He was born around 1636. This pioneer would be our first Pitre ancestor to set foot on this continent and the progenitor of many Pitre, Lepitre, Pieters, Pieter, Pietre, Peters, Peter, Peete, living in Acadia, Quebec, Canada and the U.S. today.

The pioneer of the Acadian Pitre family is Flemish according to a statement made at Belle-

Notes:

Marie Pesseley married Jean Pitre around 1665 when Acadia was still under English occupation. She had eleven children and she lost her husband of over twenty years.

From the 1686 Census where she was listed as being 45, we know that Marie Pesseley was born around 1641, probably in Acadia. She is the daughter of Isaac Pesseley and Barbe Bajolet.

Although there is no doubt that life as a widow with eleven children would have been difficult for Marie, she would not remain a widow for too long as she is listed in the 1693 Census as being married to Fran
