Pierre Sire was born in France, possibly in Tourraine-en-Loire, [citation needed] around 1644[1] Some people have suggested that Jean-Baptiste Sire was Pierre's father, and some have suggested Jean Christophe Cyr and Suzanne Thibaud were his parents, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence for either claim.
Pierre is said to have arrived in Port Royal on the ship "Espérance en Dieu" in 1668[2]
Pierre had immigrated to Acadia by 1670 for on June 18 1670, he ("Pierre Sirre") signed an accord of the parishioners of Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia Canada) on the construction of a church and the regulation of measurements.[1] Around that same year, some say 1669[3] or 1670 [4] he married Marie Bourgeois, daughter of Jacques and Jeanne Trahan. In 1671, the family was living on a farm in Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia Canada). The family owned 11 cattle and 6 sheep. Pierre was working as a gunsmith.[5]
Between 1671 and 1679, Pierre and Marie had three sons: Jean, Pierre, and Guillaume, this youngest born about 1679. Sadly, Pierre died before June 1680, leaving his young children without a father and his wife Marie a widow. Marie married Germain Girouard in Beaubassin (Amherst Nova Scotia) on June 9, 1680.[1] They settled in Beaubassin since they were counted there in the 1686 census.[6]
Research Notes
Name
The Acadians project is using the spelling of last names according to Stephen White.[1] [7]He uses the name Cyr. His name is listed as Sire (1671 Census), Sirre (ANF, Col. E 277, Le Neuf in DGFA), and Cire (1686 Census) on various documents. If we find evidence that Pierre could sign his name and did so with a consistent spelling, we can enter that name as his "current" name.
There are unsourced marriage dates of April 10, 1670.

A footnote says that a branch of the SIRE family settled in Québec, from which the ancestor who stayed on the Isles of St. Pierre and Miquelon, at the time of the dispersal of the Acadians, uses today the name of MIQUELON.
