| Notes |
- The 1811 Census of River Bourgeois records Xavier Pitre Yeoman with 2 Males 14-60, 3 Females 14-60, 1 Male or Female over 60, and 4 Males and Females Unmarried.
The 1813 Militia Roll for River Bourgeois records, all together:
1. Xavier Peters age 64 born Prince Edward Island Fisherman with 1 Woman, no Boys, and 2 Girls
2. Benjamin Peters age 25 born Prince Edward Island Fisherman with no Women, Boys, or Girls
3. Cassimere Peters age 23 born Prince Edward Island Fisherman with no Women, Boys, or Girls
It is reasonable to conclude this is Xavier Pitre, his wife Marie-Modeste Detcheverry dit Cheverie, sons Benjamin and Cassimere, and 2 daughters. Xavier Pitre is the 1 Male or Female over 60 in the 1811 Census.
Nova Scotia Archives records an 1813 Land Petition for Xavier Pitre age 54 with a wife and four children requesting a lot on the east side of the "Barrasaw Des Cotté”. With his unique name and family size, it is reasonable to conclude he is Xavier Pitre of River Bourgeois recorded in the 1813 Militia Roll for River Bourgeois. But his age in the 1813 Land Petition is 10 years younger than his age in the 1813 Militia Roll for River Bourgeois.
Age 64 in 1813 implies a year of birth about 1748-1749. According to the 1813 Militia Roll for River Bourgeois, Xavier Pitre was born on Prince Edward Island. If so, he should be recorded in the 1752 Census of Île St. Jean. But there is no record of a Xavier Pitre age under 5 in this Census. So, there is some doubt about his approximate year of birth.
