Pierre Gallien and Angelique Giraud dit St. Jean (Lebouthillier’s widow) are the earliest  known Caraquet couple by this surname. Fidele Theriault gives a very lengthy but rather confusing background for Pierre Gallien which I will translate at some point. If you need to know now, leave me a comment below 🙂

For now I will mention that Angelique Giraud’s parents were Gabriel Giraud and a un-named First Nations woman.

Pierre and Angeliques‘s children were:

• Adrien (m. Marguerite Duguay, daughter of Rene Duguay
  and Marguerite LeBreton of Paspebiac, about 1780)
• Francois (m. Rene Duguay, son of Rene Duguay and Marguerite LeBreton of Paspebiac, 1784)

In 1841 he married Venerande Paulin who was Jean Michon’s widow. Victor Friolet died in the 1863 typhoid epidemic.
