Pierre was born about 1601 or 1602 at Sevestre, Amiens in Picardie, France. He married, Dame Helene De Belleau, the daughter of Antoine De Belleau and Catherine De Vualpergue, but I do not know the date of this marriage. Antoine and Catherine were married on the 21st of December in the year 1600. Antoine was buried on 19/3/1641 at St. Andre Des Arts in Paris. Two children of Pierre Charles and Helene, Jean Baptiste and his sister Marie Charlotte had both emigrated to New France. They were cousins to Catherine de Belleau who also came to Canada. Marie Charlotte de Poitiers had married before to Joseph Hebert in 1660 at Quebec city. He was the grandson of Louis Hebert, the first Canadian settler-farmer.
