Hello, I am searching info re Pierre Botquin (dit St André) who came to Nouvelle-France as a soldier of the Cie Franche de la Marine, regiment of Levilliers. His capitaine was Charles Petit de Coulange de Levilliers. Pierre Botquin born about 1684. Might be born in Saumur,Maine-et-Loire or Angers, or Semur-en-Auxois?
First trace of him (Nouvelle-France) oct 1706 at the Fort Pontchartrain of Détroit, Michigan.(french colony at that time) I do not know the port of departure CFrance) or the ship's name...
Trying for a very long time to find his origine (familly, birth of place document etc...
