| Notes |
- Pierre Comeau arrived in Acadia with the Raizilly expedition in 1632. He married Rose Bayols in 1649, at approximately age 43 (using the 1606 date of birth).
Rose was born in Dijon, France in 1631 and came to Acadia in 1636 with her family - father was Nicholas Bayols on the ship "Saint Jean". She died before the 1686 census was taken, as Pierre is listed as a widower.
Their six boys and five girls were all born in the Port royal area. One son, Antoine, returned to France in 1661 and settled in Bordeaux.
Pierre Comeau helped to found the settlement at La Have River and went to rebuild the fort at Port Royal, along with Governor D'Aulnay de Charnisay in 1655. The original fort had been destroyed by the English in 1613.
He was a cooper by trade - a maker of casks for dry goods or liquids. It is likely that salted fish, exported to France were stored in containers he made. Pierre also was a dyke farmer. Dyke farmers created dykes to allow them to farm the fertile lands where swamps had been.
This information is taken from various sources with a large portion from Anne Theriault, in a letter written to Del Comeau in 1990.
