• Family Background

• Pierre was the oldest child of Gilles and Madeleine born sometime between 1612-1615. Judith Martin was baptized at Nanteuil-les-Meaux. (1) She was the daughter of Pierre Martin, a master mason, and of Marguerite Gibert. On August 3, 1632, Pierre Charron who’s occupation was listed as a master rope maker at Grand Marche in Meaux, and Judith Martin, engaged themselves by contract in front of Jean Doye, royal notary of Meaux, to get married as soon as possible (2). While the official religious records of this marriage were not found, it is very likely that Pierre and Judith’s parents had adhered to the ideas of the Reform. ^[3]

That means that the marriage most likely was celebrated before a Calvinist minister. This means that Pierre their only son was also raised in this faith. We have an additional notary act. -A receipt dated March 14, 1635, where Pierre acknowledges having received from his father Gilles Charron, 346 livres that had been promised to him at the time of his contract of marriage. From this reference it is also deduced that he probably died around 1640 at the age of 30 years. (3) (1) Parochial records(2) Marriage Contract-found in the departmental archives of Seine et Marne, France. Quotation # AD77, 129E43 (3) We have an inventory after the death of Judith Martin dated April 20, 1652, which can be found in the departmental archives of Seine-et-Marne indexed under 2Bp2151. It appears that Pierre was the only son. Since both his parents died young, he was an orphan at 10. This fact may play an important reason for his departure to the colony.

Known siblings/Frères connus

There are 2 siblings known to this man, Gilles and Étienne, per the data on his granddaughter Esther, cousin of Pierre Charron who went to New France, and also Pierre's record of a sale of property in 1661 where the heirs of his 2 uncles Gilles and Étienne were the other owners.

Meaux, 28 février 1661. En présence notamment de Jean Giroust, second époux de sa défunte mère Judith Martin, Pierre Charron vend, pour la somme de 105 livres toumois, payée comptant, sa part (le tiers en fait) d'une maison située au Grand Marché de Meaux, rue Comillon, maison dont les autres propriétaires sont les héritiers de Gilles et Étienne Charron, ses oncles, frères de son père. Ainsi que ce contrat l'indique à la deuxième ligne, Pierre Charron est alors majeur, puisqu'il est âgé de plus de 25 ans, ce qu'il prouve en présentant un extrait de son registre baptistaire. ^[4]

ledit tiers audit vendeur appartenant de son propre et partissant par indivis allencontre des heritiers ou aians causes de Gilles CHARON le jeune (3) et Estienne CHARON (4), ausquelz appartient les deux autres tiers, pour dudit tiers susvendu ^[4]
