About Pierre Jacques
The following comes from: [http://genforum.genealogy.com/jacques/messages/546.html]
I have info on Pierre Jacques which I received from one of his Jacques descendants in Beauce, Quebec. My line descends through Louis Jacques son Louis (m. to Antoinette LeRoux).
Pierre was born in Charlesbourg March 11, 1697. He was baptized in a chapel of Bourg-Royal erected in 1678 by Monseigneur of Laval or in the new church of stone built the same year. His father Louis along with other farmers sculpted statues for the church. He is the fourth of a family of 10 children.
Pierre will undertake to grow old and die January 23, 1774. He will be exposed the next day in the new church built in 1765 almost in the same spot as the old church. Pierre died at the respectable age of 77 in the days the average life expectancy was 50.
The above comes from a translation of the French.

The following comes from: [http://www.100megsfree2.com/jjscherr/jacques/jacques-chalifour.htm]
The following information was received from Gilles Jacques (in French and translated) of Beauce, Québec.
Pierre was the fourth child, third son of Louis Jacques and Antoinette LeRoux. He was born 10 March 1697 at Bourg-Royal, Québec, and baptized in a chapel of Bourg-Royal erected in 1678 by Monseigneur of Laval, or in the new church of stone built the same year. His father, Louis, along with other farmers sculpted statues for the church. He was married 12 February 1720 at Charlesbourg, Québec, to Marie-Ambroise Chalifour. Her parents were Pierre Chalifour and Anne Mignier. Pierre died 25 July 1774.
Pierre's childhood was spent on the family farm and mostly with his brother Louis and his sisters Catherine and Anne. At the age of 25, he married his next door neighbor Marie-Ambroise Chalifour.
The families of the brothers Louis and Pierre lived together on the family farm which they made prosper. This farm with its 30 acres was too small for the two families. In 1736 or 1737, the lord (or Seigneur) Joseph Fleury de la Gorgendiére recruited farmers for his plantation of New Beauce. Pierre decided to move to Beauce.
With his wife and five children, he organized the separation of the family farm. He chose tools that were the most essential which he brought to Lévis. The trip was undertaken by boat, then by horse-drawn carriage. They went along the south shore, then the east shore of the Chaudière River up to the village of Scott. Upon embarking, the baggage was put in canoes that they had to row all the way to the plantation that the lord had measured (arpentaur) into lots - this was done for him on 17 December 1737.
Pierre's land of 3 acres by 4 acres is separated from the forest by only two small trenches which at each end he placed one small rock along with pieces of glassware and dishes under a post. He had to start by clearing this land, which was lined by large trees. His first occupation was to build a cabin for himself.
His family was still at Charlesbourg. He began by cutting trees and clearing the land. His first harvest must surely have been peas an beans. The river in front supplied the water and fish, which was caught with some kind of net. We estimate that in his first year he cleared 4 acres. He had to wait for following years to move his family and also probably a young cow to supply the milk and labor for the field. Also in that voyage he brought two young sheep, which would give the necessary wool which is indispensable for the fabrication of clothing.
The house was made of wood (logs). The house he built the first year becomes the barn for the animals. It is estimated that all of his land was cleared by 1742. That year, Pierre's daughters Marie-Ann and Marie-Charlotte were married at the chapel built nearby, February 5 and July 2, respectively. In 1750 it is his son's turn to be married to Cécile Doyon. Pierre, father and son, probably lived on the same farm until the son's farm was ready. His other children, Geneviève, Charles and Louise get married in 1762, while Augustin and Jean-Baptiste will get married in 1763 and 1770, respectively. Augustin will be given the family farm. Pierre will undertake to grow old and die 23 January 1774. He will be exposed the next day in the new church built in 1765 on almost the same spot as the old church. Pierre died at the respectable age of 77 in the days when the average life expectancy was 50.
