• 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 first trace that is found of our ancestor is in the 1671 census of Port Royal, Acadia. Jean's trade is mentioned as edge-tool making which consists in the fabrication of sharp tools and irons used by farmers. The pioneer of the Acadian Pitre family is Flemish according to a statement made at Belle- [1]
