Pierre Jean was born in in La Rochelle, France in about 1645 to Vivien Jean and Suzanne Herault. He was the second of eight children and he spent his childhood at ?Chez Vivien Jean,? in Ecoyeux, a suburb of La Rochelle.

In 1663, at the age of 18, he sailed to Quebec intending to settle there. This was reported to be a disastrous crossing for two ships that traveled together: La Flute Royale de Brouage and L' Aigle d'Or. It was said that "60 passengers died at sea, 75 were left in Newfoundland and 159 others who disembarked at Quebec were in an appalling state." It was further stated that "that there were only 20 men ready to work, the others were so weak that they could barely stand." Thirty-eight passengers were taken to the hospital in Quebec and twelve of them died. It is believed that Pierre was among the sick, and that in 1664, he was ordered to return to France along with about a dozen other immigrants.

Pierre stayed in France for several years. He married Françoise Favereau on July 8, 1668 in La Rochelle. Then in June 1669, they migrated to Quebec together with his two brothers Hélie and Vivien. They all sailed on the ship Pot de Beurre, and it is believed they were under contract as indentured servants.

Pierre and Françoise settled in Charlesbourg, and signed a lease for a farm alongside his brother Hélie. They had four children born between 1672 and 1681. On July 6, 1671, Pierre was hired to remove stumps from a piece of land in Beauport which had previously been owned by Charles Turgeon. He moved around from farm to farm during much of his life and his name appears on many real estate transactions. During his life, he visited the notaries 60 times. He was a tenant farmer, usually signing agreements to pay his landlords in amounts of grain or butter.

In 1681, Pierre was living at Petite Auvergne, Charlesbourg, with 6 head of cattle and 30 arpents of land under cultivation. In about 1689, he ?leased a house from Jean Matheiu on Rue Saint-Nicolas? in Quebec City, and practiced the trade of carter. Four years later, he was back to farming in La Canardiere. He sold that farm and signed a lease for another on the Isle aux Oies. The deal stated he would have to pay 300 livres annually along with ?80 minots of wheat and 1 fat pig.? His son-in law Jacques Chouinard also settled there. On August 23, 1708, Pierre signed a 3-year lease for a farm at Port-Joli. Then in 1712, Pierre and his wife lived on the land previously owned by their deceased son Antoine.

Françoise died in August 1723 at St-Jean-Port-Joli and on August 13, 1724, the 79 year-old Pierre married a second wife who was just 44, Marie-Anne Bourassa. Pierre died just two years later; the exact date of his death is unknown.

On retrouve aussi dans cet inventaire un autre JEAN, probablement Hélie JEAN. Et bien que son nom n?apparaisse pas, le troisième frère JEAN, Pierre JEAN s?est lui aussi très probablement embarqué sur ce navire avec son épouse Françoise FAVREAU. Hélie JEAN et Marie GAIGNET ont passé un contrat de mariage le 13 mars 1669 à La Rochelle mais ont vécu en union libre 7 ans avant de se marier à Québec. Vivien JEAN et Anne TROLLEAU ont aussi passé un contrat de mariage le 13 mars 1669 à La Rochelle mais se sont séparés dès leur arrivée à Québec et cette dernière épouse Mathurin GAUTHIER le 16 juillet 1669 à Québec.
