Pierre Chauvin [dit LeGrand] was born in the village/town of Angers, frequently expressed as d'Angers meaning 'of Angers', sometimes corrupted to Dangers. A French speaker would say the name as Onh-jair. Angers was in the Province of Anjou, a former duchy in what are now the western Loire Counties of coastal France, shown by the orange outline on map at right. Anjou, outlined in yellow on the adjacent map, is approximately the same area as Maine et Loire is today. Pierre's father René is also identified as being born in Anjou. The castle is Chateau D'Angers. According to historical data, Pierre emigrated to New France being one of the Pioneers from Sarthe to Montreal in Quebec. He took passage in 1653. Author's opinion is he sailed from Nantes, the most likely nearby port, frequently used for centuries, and up the St Lawrence River.

PIERRE CHAUVIN was born in 1631 in the village of Leon d’ Angers in the province of 
Anjou, son of RENEE CHAUVIN and CATHERINE AVARD. Pierre was called "GRAND PIERRE", 
and was a miller by trade.

On the 4th day of April, 1653 he signed a contract for five years to go to 
New France(Canada) as a miller and clearer of land.

Montreal was only eleven years old and still very much a wilderness and there were 
only fifty settlers there when Pierre along with 152 other recruits arrived.

There were two other Pierre Chauvins in that part of Canada that a researcher may get 
confused with "GRAND PIERRE", However, Elizabeth Shown Mills in her book 
"CHAUVIN DIT CHARLEVILLE" has done an exellent job in seperating and documenting our 
"GRAND PIERRE", Mrs. Mills also did an exellent job in pointing out the mistakes 
in "Old La. Families" by Stanley Arthur.

PIERRE CHAUVIN was granted a land grant in 1654 at Montreal(also called 
Ville Marie Isle) one year after his arrival. On the 16th of September, 
1658 he married fourteen year old MARTHE Le h’ AUTREUX in Montreal, 
daughter of RENEE le h’ AUTREUX and FRANCOISE le CHAUNERLLIAR of the Parish of 
Noyen province of Anjou. PIERRE died 4 August 1699 and is buried in the 
parish cemetery at Montreal.
