• Notes

  This Michel Pitre, son of Michel & Marie-Josephe Orillon, was born on 20th of June 1763 in Nicolet, Québec. He later moved with his mother and father to Nipisiguit now Bathurst, N.B where he settled with his family and also became a farmer. Michel Pitre married Marguerite Boudreau on June 3, 1789 in Caraquet, N.B. The Acadian house around 1790 was a wood-framed structure on a basalt fieldstone foundation. A massive hearth, oven and chimney stood at one end of a single room. The walls were partly infilled with clay and the roof was made of birch shingles. The lot plan from Avenue St-Pierre in West Bathurst shows where our ancestor Michel Pitre and his family were living in 1807. Michel Pitre, husband of Marguerite Boudreau passed away in Nipisiguit on January 29, 1817. [2]
