Pierre Pitard

Notes:

Teillé is in the Diocese of Nantes. His wedding record to Anne Marie Macquiau says that he was from Mouzeil, a village just a few km. to the west of Teillé.

Records are lacking in Mouzeil before 1668, and his birth record is not apparent after this. Presumably, then, he was born before this date.

He was styled “sieur de la Clause”; “sieur” is a bourgeois title that indicates that he owned some property.

Pierre married Anne Marie Macquiau on 13 Jan 1700 in Teillé, Loire-Atlantique, Pays de la Loire, France. Anne (daughter of Guillaume Macquiau and Jeanne Bruslé) was born about 1659; died on 9 Apr 1717 in Teillé, Loire-Atlantique, Pays de la Loire, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

His name “Pierre Pitard” appears on his son Pierre’s marriage record. His parentage is obscure because there are a number of Pierre Pitards in the area:

—Pierre Pitard, b. in Ligné abt. 1630, m. Jeanne Lerat in 1652 in Petit Mars
—Pierre Pitard, m. Julienne Leduc in 1646 in Mouzeil
—Pierre Pitard husband of Janne Amiot, whose son François was married in 1640 in Ligné
—Pierre Pitard who was baptized in Mouzeil on 19 June 1633, the son of Pierre Pitard and Julienne Menoret, who had been married in Mouzeil in abt. 1612. On their marriage record he is described as “paroissien de Ligné,” and she as “paroissienne de Mouzeil.” This couple had four other children who appear in the Mouzeil parish records.

But aside from the names, there is no evidentiary connection to securely identify any of this Pierres with this one.

And these are just those I know on the north side of the Loire. Other Pitard families appear south of the river, esp. in Corsept, to the east.

One document that would help is the marriage record between Pierre Pitard and Prégente Denis. She seems not to be from Mouzeil, however, and there’s no indication of her origin that might tell of the town in which they were married (marriages usually taking place in the bride’s home parish).

Died:
He is described as “deffunt” on the marriage record of his son Pierre.

Pierre married Prégente Denis. Prégente died after Jan 1700. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her name is found on her son Pierre’s marriage record, and on the baptismal record of her grandson and godson Pierre via her son Jean.

I can find no record of a marriage from before 1670 (her first son was born in 1668). A “Pregente Denis” was born in Illifaut, Côtes-d'Armor, in Oct. of 1653. Maybe, but the odds are against this being her: Côtes-d'Armor is quite a ways a way; and, since Pierre fils was likely born bef. 1668, there would be a very short window of just a year or so, maybe, for a marriage.

Died:
She seems to be alive when her son Pierre is married.
