Notes:

Pierre Gagnon, born in February 1612 in La Gaignonnière, Tourouvre, Perche, France, was baptized on February 14, 1612, in the church of Sainte-Madeleine de La Ventrouze. He was the son of Pierre Gagnon and Renée Roger. Pierre's journey to New France marked the beginning of a significant family line in Quebec's history.

Around 1640, Pierre emigrated to New France with his brothers Mathurin and Jean, joining their sister who had previously settled with her husband, Eloi Tavernier. Their widowed mother, Renée Roger, also made the journey, cementing the Gagnon family's commitment to the new colony.

Upon arrival, the Gagnon brothers quickly established themselves as industrious settlers and entrepreneurs. They acquired farms along the coast between Château-Richer and Sainte-Anne, while also engaging in trade in Quebec City during the winter months. On August 14, 1651, they purchased land in the Lower Town of Quebec, and on October 6, 1658, they acquired a store, demonstrating their business acumen.

Pierre's personal land grant in Château-Richer measured 6.5 arpents of river frontage by 126 arpents deep, a substantial property that would become the foundation of his family's legacy in the area. He engaged in some land transactions, notably ceding half an arpent to Nicholas Lebel on May 13, 1657, only to reclaim it on December 29, 1668.

On September 14, 1642, Pierre married Vincente Desvarieux in Notre-Dame de Québec. Vincente, born around 1624 in St-Vincent d'Aubermail, Caux, Normandy, France, was the daughter of Jean Desvarieux and Marie Chevalier. She likely arrived in New France as a fille à marier, one of the young women sent to the colony to help establish families.

Pierre and Vincente had ten children together:

Jean (1643-1699)
Anne (1643-1666)
Pierre (1646-1687)
Jeanne (1648-1648)
Pierre-Paul (1649-1711) - became a priest
Joseph (1651-1680)
René (1653-1653)
Marie-Madeleine (1655-1677) - became a nun
Raphaël (1658-1681)
Noël (1660-1708)

Their family life reflected the challenges and triumphs of early colonial life. While they lost several children at a young age, others went on to play significant roles in the religious and social fabric of New France. Pierre-Paul became one of the first Canadian-born priests, while Marie-Madeleine entered the Augustinian convent, known for her piety and devotion.

Pierre was confirmed in the Catholic faith on August 10, 1659, by Bishop Laval in Notre-Dame de Québec, underscoring the importance of religion in the family's life.

The 1666 census listed Pierre as a 50-year-old merchant, living with Vincente and their children in Beaupré. By 1681, at the age of 70, Pierre was recorded as owning 2 guns, 22 horned animals, and 40 arpents of cultivated land, indicating the family's prosperity and established position in the community.

Vincente Desvarieux passed away on January 2, 1695, in Château-Richer, where she was buried the following day. Pierre lived for a few more years, dying on April 17, 1699, at the age of 87. He was buried the next day in the cemetery of La-Visitation-de-Notre-Dame parish in Château-Richer.
