Biography

Pierre Blot was born 11/3/1762^[1]

He married Marie Josephe Lefort Laforest in 1787 and then Theotiste Paulin in 1799^[2]

John Bilow's research indicates that he was a private in Moses Hazen's Regiment in the American Revolution.

He is NAMED on Harriette Blow's application, member 62444 to the DAR as her grandfather (under the name Blow) and the husband of his wife, Theotiste Paulin, her grandmother, yet he isn't recognized as a veteran.

He is often confused with Pierre Boilleau. The Boilleau/Boileau families were the source of the "Bilow" family of upstate NY. Pierre Bleau ancestored the "Blow" families of the same area. If he were the veteran, then his granddaughter, Harriett would have named him as such on her application along with continuing on to her great Grandfather, Antoine Paulint. I am currently trying to contact the other cousins about this.
