Pierre Lacourse Bourbeau
(22 Aug 1648 - 18 Nov 1710)
Henri Malenfant's file on Les Bourbeau de La Rochelle shows Pierre being baptized on August 22, 1648 at le Temple protestant de Notre Dame de Cogne, La Rochelle. Anne was apparently his second spouse. Pierre was 28 years old and Anne was only 14 when they married.
The 'dit' Lacourse means "The runner" (they used to canoe, travel thru the woods, mountains) The 'dit' Beauchene means "Beautiful Oak". Pierre lived with Elie & Jeanne during the time of the1666/67 census in Cap de Madeleine, Québec. At the time of 1681census, Pierre lived at the seigneurie de Linctot at Becancour, Québec. Emmigration Rochelaise, P. 31 confirms Pierre's arrival in Cap de la Madeleine in 1666.
Pierre Bourbeau, son of Elie Bourbaut and Marie Noiron of Notre Dame de la Rochelle arrived in the country around 1666. His half brother Elie had already been in this new country for 15 years. He was confirmed (Roman Catholic) on 1 May 1666 at Cap de la Madeleine. At first, he stayed at his half-brother's Elie, spouse of Jeanne Sauvaget; this couple was childless. Elie, the father, was a carpenter of large works in La Rochelle. Elie, the son, made his mark as judge and crown attorney in the region of Trois-Rivieres; another brother, Paul Bourbaut, lived in Montreal for a few years; PIERRE was the only one, out of the three, to take roots in the country. His descendants, numerous in Mauricie, carry the name of Bourbeau or the surnames of Lacourse, Carignan, Beauchesne, and Verville. On March 22, 1666, Pierre, who signed his name "Bourbaud", received from Father Jacques Fremin, attorney for the Jesuits, two habitations of two acres; one in Batiscan, the other at Cote St-Eloy now Champlain. On the same date, he accepted a similar gift from Francois Bibaud, another habitant from Saint Eloy (contract by notary Jacques de la Tousche). Elie and Pierre Bourbaut were among the first land concessionaires from Seigneur Michel Godefroy de Lintot at the Becancour river. But when came time to occupy these new lands, of a fertility superior to those of the Cap (Cap de La Madeleine), Pierre proposed to his brother an exchange of his habitation of Cote Saint-Marc with the land that Elie had taken in Becancour. The deal was done on 28 Aug 1672. Pierre abandoned to Elie his land at the Cap, already purveyed with all necessary buildings, but was doubling his properties in Becancour; and Elie committed himself to continue helping his brother in landclearing and in the construction of his barn, house, etc...,until all was as well settled as on the property in Saint-Marc. On 2 September 1674, Seigneur de Lintot granted Pierre another land three acres of front by one quarter of a league deep, by the channel of the Saint-Michel river (Becancour).Pierre Bourbaut was 28 years old, when , on October 21, 1676, he married Anne Besnard, aged nearly 15 years old, daughter of Rene Besnard said Bourjoly and Carignan (from where the surname carried by their son Louis) and of Marie Sedillot (contract by Jean Cusson).Two years later, daughter Jeanne was born, baptized in Becancour by the Jesuit missionary Brother Xiste le Tac (act inscribed in the register of Trois-Rivieres).On 12 February 1680, Pierre sold to Michel David a land of seven acres along the Becancour river. On the same date, David committed to Pierre the sum of 230 pounds, price for a pair of oxen and a plow. The 1681 census says that the Bourbaut family lived in the Seigneurie of Lintot (Becancour), only eleven families and a total of forty-five persons lived in Becancour. In 1683, Pierre could no longer manage all the chores so on May 9, he hired Jean Lecart said Lariviere for the harvests. On February 17, 1684, Michel Chaudron received a land concession from the Seigneur of Lintot, but ceded it to Pierre Bourbaut. Starting in 1695, Pierre began to get rid of his lands. On December 29, he remitted one to Seigneur Michel Godefroy; on January 31, 1698, he sold one to his brother in law Maurice Besnard, Sir Bourjoly, habitant of the Cap. In addition to his land chores and numerous real estate transactions, Pierre Bourbaut, a very active man, also participated in fur trade. Records from 1683 show that in1673, he sold beaver pelts to Louis Joliet and in 1680-81 helped a party trading with the British. He made trips to the "pays d'en haut" (Laurantian Mountains or Laurentides) and we believe that in June 1671 he was present on a trip with his friend Francois Bibaud and famous Nicolas Perrot ("woodsrunner", interpreter, fur trader and leader of the French postswest of the Great Lakes). While on that trip, Daumont de Saint-Lusson took possession of the lands west of Sault-Ste-Marie. Nicolas Perrot was the guide for that trip. On 18 November, 1710 two acts from Notary Jean-Baptiste Pottier say that Anne Besnard, widowed, was taking inventory of his belongings and distributing it in his name, and is tutor for his minor children: Pierre Louis,Joseph, Marie Joseph, Marie Anne, and Charlotte. Anne Besnard died in Becancour on 11 May 1719 at the age of 57,leaving behind her ten living children, of which six were married. Pierre and Anne have numerous descendants, the majority in the region of Mauricie and the Bois-Francs.
