A man of character, he will have problems with the colonial authorities. In 1664, he fomented a sedition which sent him to prison. His banishment in perpetuity from Québec did not prevent him from trading with the intendant Jean Talon, for whom he built a large boat, and from marrying one of his sons to a daughter of the king from the nobility of Île-de-France.

Ancestor of the Week: Pierre Milville dit LeSuisse.

Born around 1602 in Switzerland, Pierre immigrated to France as part of the Swiss Army who fought alongside French troops at the Siege of La Rochelle (which features prominently in Dumas' Three Musketeers)
He married Charlotte Maugis about 1629 and remained near La Rochelle most likely fighting in varies sieges of the fortress. He immigrated with his family to Quebec in 1649.
After settling in Quebec, he became a cabinetmaker and was awarded land in Basse-ville on St Pierre Street.
In 1657, after the Iroquois stole his sow and a cow, local citizens refused to help him get them returned. He turned to sedition and was imprisoned at Chateau St Louis, fined 300 pounds and banned from Quebec in perpetuity.
In 1665, still unhappy about his prison sentence and exile, he went to Grand Anse (now St Anne de la Pocatiere), to start a small colony for fellow Swiss immigrants. It failed as a colony, and Pierre died in 1669.
Pierre and Charlotte had six surving children. Their son Jacques married the infamous Catherine de Baillon in 1669.

MIVILLE-DESCHÊNES - nickname given to someone who owns or lives near an oak plantation. Pierre Miville, master carpenter, was born around 1602 in the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland. But he lived in Brouage, France, with his wife, Charlotte Maugis, and six children. In 1649, he went to New France and received land in the seigneury of Lauzon opposite Quebec. In 1656, he obtained the concession of a lot in the lower town, rue Saint-Pierre, at the corner of the alley leading to the Place Royale. He built a small one-storey house there, consisting of a cellar, fire chamber and attic, which was destroyed in the fire in the lower town in 1682. Pierre Miville tried to attract other Swiss to Canada and obtained at La Pocatière a concession which was called the Canton des Suisses fribourgeois: the enterprise failed. Miville died in 1669 and was buried in the first cemetery in Quebec, Côte de la Montagne. Pierre Miville would have arrived in New France towards the end of August 1649. He has six children whose age varies between 9 and 17 years old, four girls and two boys: Marie, François, Aimée, Madeleine, Jacques and Suzanne. It would be one of the most numerous families arrived in New France.
