Pierre kicked ass in all fairness and yeah, he didn't have the easiest life. <br /><br />According to Davis' research, Big Pierre died in France in 1796, when the boys were about 20 and 14. It seems young to us but I'd bet Jean had already gone to sea and Pierre may have taken up the running of the "family business", such as it was.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-10336013728813165492011-01-04T15:59:44.567-09:002011-01-04T15:59:44.567-09:00Good stuff, Pauline, and thank you.

It seems to me that Pierre had a pretty tough life. I am curious about at least one thing, though: Does anyone know what happened to Jean and Pierre's dad? Was he killed in the French Revolution?<br /><br />Looking forward to part two tomorrow, Pirate Queen.Timmy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09902641426229272672noreply@blogger.com
