    See Note for information

    Pierre, called Pierre le jeune, born in c1683, married Élisabeth or Isabelle, daughter of Guillaume LeJuge, at Port-Royal in c1703. They had 12 children, including six sons who married into the Trahan, Viger, Gautrot, Vincent, Lejeune, and Thériot families. Their six daughters married into the Lejeune dit Briard, Doiron, LeBlanc, Guédry dit Labrador dit Labine, and Hébert families. Pierre le jeune's sons outdid their cousins in escaping British rule. One moved his family to Grande-Ascension on Île St.-Jean in c1750. Another one also moved to Île St.-Jean; according to Acadian genealogist Bona Arsenault, however, this son moved to Île Royale in the early 1750s, where he built a windmill at Petit-Bras d'Or. Another of Pierre le jeune's sons settled on Rivière du Moulin-a-Scie and at Port-Lajoie on Île St.-Jean. Two other sons took their families to L'Anse-aux-Matelot on Île St.-Jean in the early 1750s. Another son moved to Louisbourg on Île Royale in c1751. None of them remained at Pigiguit.
