Biography

Antoine Pilon(V) was a voyageur, likely in the employ of one of the partners of the Northwest Company when he traveled through the Détroit River area and settled there, marrying Archange Cuillerier dit Beaubien on October 30, 1809 in the church of Assumption, Windsor, Ontario, CANADA (he had fathered 2 children with Archange previous to their marriage).

In the Assumption Church registry, his father is given as Pierre Pilon and his mother, Françoise Larose (m. 1779). He is said to have been from the parish of Ste-Anne, Ile de Montréal. A slight problem occurs in that there never was a Pierre Pilon married to a Françoise Larose. However, there was a Pierre Pilon who married Françoise Robidoux, whose mother was a Bellerose.

When the priest was writing this particular marriage record, he began writing Ste-Eustache as the home parish of Antoine, but crossed it out after the -st in Eustache. Obviously, there were some communication problems, likely attributable to the young 20 year old getting married, but also perhaps on the part of the priest, especially when it came to family names which could be multiple.

Pierre Pilon (IV), Antoine's father, was the son of Antoine Pilon (III) and Marie-Josephte Roy (m. 1729).

Antoine (III) was the son of Antoine Pilon (II) and Marie-Anne Brunet (m. 1689 Montreal).

This last Antoine (II) (son of Thomas Pilon (I) and Madeleine Hugues dit Ruault) arrived in New France likely earlier in the 1680's, being from Bayeux, Normandy, while Marie-Anne Brunet was born in New France^[1]
