Biography

Pierre Belliveau is the descendant of a Huguenot emigrant.

Pierre dit Piau was born in 1706^[1][2]

He married Jeanne Gaudet on 12 January 1728 in Grand-Pré. ^[3]

He passed away in Memramcook according to genealogist Placide Gaudet^[2] but the date is unknown.

"Une autre lignée des Belliveau de la région de Memramcook remonte à Pierre Belliveau dit Piau qui était le fils cadet de Jean Belliveau et de Madeleine Melanson, baptisé à Port-Royal, le 4 août 1706. Piau a épousé, à Port-Royal, le 12 janvier 1728, Jeanne Gaudet, fille de Bernard Gaudet et de Jeanne Thériot. Cette famille a échappé à la Déportation de 1755, en se réfugiant à Sissibou. Par la suite elle est passée au Coude (aujourd'hui Moncton) et de là, à la Miramichi. Pierre Belliveau s'est rendu avec sa famille au fort Beauséjour en 1760, d'où ils sont allés à Pisiguit. Vers 1767, ils sont venus s'établir à Memramcook, où Pierre est décédé."^[4]

Translated: "Another line of Belliveau from the Memramcook region dates back to Pierre Belliveau dit Piau who was the youngest son of Jean Belliveau and Madeleine Melanson, baptized in Port-Royal, on August 4, 1706. Piau married, in Port-Royal, January 12, 1728, Jeanne Gaudet, daughter of Bernard Gaudet and Jeanne Thériot. This family escaped the Deportation of 1755 by taking refuge in Sissibou. Subsequently it went to Le Coude (now Moncton) and from there , at the Miramichi. Pierre Belliveau went with his family to Fort Beauséjour in 1760, from where they went to Pisiguit. Around 1767, they came to settle in Memramcook, where Pierre died. "

Research Notes

This could have been the only Pierre Belliveau living at that time with enough younger children to have been the Pierre Belliveau imprisoned at Fort Edward (Pisiguit) in 1762. Gaudet says he went to Pisiguit in 1760, so would have been there to be captured. If so, he would have been sent to Halifax before July 12, 1762.
