According to one ancestry.com source, Pierre was born in Soubise, Charente-Maritime, France. He and his family were French Huguenot refugees fleeing religious persecution. In 1686 they fled to Holland and then to England before crossing the Atlantic. One ancestry.com source says he married Elizabeth Tavaude on November 11, 1699 in Bristol, England and that his father died on November 12, 1699 in Bristol, England. Their first born son John was born in 1703 on Staten Island, New York, so sometime between 1699 and 1703 they left England for New York.
