Notes about Pierre Miville dit le Suisse

Pierre moved to La Rochelle, France in 1646, and he leased land on the terraces, near the walls of Saint-Nicolas and the gate of la Verite from Pierre Maloiseau (a master blacksmith). Pierre left France on 29 May 1649, with his wife and six children. They sail on the Grand Cardinal on 5 October 1649. They became well established in Quebec, but Pierre traveled back to France in Oct 1655 and then returned again to Quebec on 20 May 1656.

The family settled in Lauzon, along the banks of the St Lawrence River. They had been preceded to the coast of Lauzon only by Francois Bissot, Guillaume Couture, and the Jesuits. It was a dangerous area for settlers during those times, because of problems with the Iroquois and the Huron Indians.

On 1 July 1664 in Quebec, Pierre was imprisoned at the Chateau Saint-Louis for "committing sedition and intentionally, through open force, accompanied individuals to kidnap passengers sent by the King, to the prejudice of the distribution which had been ordered by the Council" according to the king's administrator.

On the next day, Pierre appeared to the court and after hearing nine witnesses and the statement of Sieur Giffard, the Sovereign Council ordered Miville to ask for the king's pardon (represented by the governor) and the Sovereign Council assembled at the Chamber and to be "banished in perpetuity from Quebec and relegated to his house located on the Coast and seigneurie of Lauson'. It was also "ordered that he keep his banishment and not leave the area of the said seigneurie of Lauson on penalty of the gallows. And for this purpose will be taken as far as the said seigneurie by two baillifs of this Council". He also had to pay a 300 livres fine, along with the legal expenses.
