  • Notes 
    • Pierre was found dead in his barn which was found to be from suicide. Pierre's body was dug up by the executioner, dragged from one end of the twon to the other twice, then hanged by his feet on a scaffold in front of his barn. His wife Marie lost all her rights to the marital property and was fined an additional 20 livres for not reporting the real way Pierre had died. This was appealed by Marie's son-in-law Jean Clouet and the sentence was overturned 20 Oct 1687. Marie's confiscated property and ifnes were returned to her and Pierre's family was allowed to exhume his body once again and bury him in holy ground. He was finally laid to rest in Beauport on 25 Oct 1687.
