Marriage notes:

"Pierre (son of Michel Forest and Marie Hebert), born in c1668, married Cécile, daughter of Michel Richard, probably at Port-Royal in c1692. They settled at Ste.-Famille, Pigiguit, and had nine children, including a son who married into the Babin family. Four of Pierre's daughters married into the Landry and LeBlanc families. In June 1714, Pierre was "among the inhabitants of Acadia who went with Father Gaulin to view land on Île Royale," today's Cape Breton Island. The following August, he received permission from the king of France to settle on the island, but he must not have liked what he saw there. He died at Pigiguit in June 1730, age 62."
