I have created a Buote Timeline for Pierre Buhot who was the first Buhot coming from Normandy Region of France.
Some of this info is new - but has been verified with family members and Birth, baptisms, census repots and death records.
Enjoy the reading - see below for full document of our history

A big Thank you to : Lynda Ready from Ottawa, Canada for all of you support and assistance of this file along with Julia Buote from New Brunswick, Canada and Tammy Whittemore for Maine, USA I couldn't have done it without you all !!!

From all of my research for the past year I can tell you the story .... but it ALL started with Pierre BUHOT from Normandy France in the Calvados Region, Coleville, the Diocese of Bayeu - in and about 1664. It's a great story of a man (Pierre Buhot) who was arrested and killed by the English for having 2 rabbit skins in his possession. He had a son called Pierre Buhot and the story goes that young Pierre Buhot got arrested as well, but his Uncle (Pierre LeGrand- who was a REAL PIRATE!) got him out of jail and took care of him, Young Pierre became a pirate as well ( or at least this is the way the story goes based on documents ) and he ended up on a boat to Canada with the English - so this is where our journey begins ... The information after this point is mostly from Pierre Buhot's son FRANCOIS JEAN BUHOT. We all descend from Francois Jean Buhot - now known as Buotte and Buote and Buot, Biot. - depending on where you ended up after the English expelled our ancestors in Beaubassin (Amherst, Nova Scotia) , Port La Joie (Charlottetown, PEI ), Miquelon - owned by France but 800 miles off the coast of Nfld. (Southwest part ). Check out travel and tourism for St. Pierre et Miquelon - It looks very nice !!!
Ok where was I - Oh yes Boy do they move around alot - those Buote's !!!! I have made you a realisic timeline of the Buote travels - I have researched every date of Birth and Baptism to verify and confirm all information below and in all Family Trees- which I will send later. Let me first of all remind you that this is the correct version - as I have put it all together from various sources and relatives - but there is alot of incorrect information out there even on the net and in church records and data documents that I have come across and I have fixed all the data and this is the first time in research that anyone has all the correct information on the entire family of the Buote history put all together !!!
Lets start at the beginning - Here is an outline of the Buote Journey !!

BUOTE TIMELINE
PIERRE BUHOT (The first!!) - KILLED BY THE ENGLISH for Possession of 2 rabbit skins !! He was married to a woman by the name of Gaudet in France possibly. No other info on him - Had a son named Pierre Buhot who was also arrested and saved by his uncle who was a Pirate named Pierre LeGrand- known as “Peter the Great”.
PIERRE BUHOT the first !! Born in Normandy Region, France. Had a son named Pierre Buhot ( I will call him Pierre 2nd )

1664 - Pierre Buhot (2nd) - was born in Kedville, Bayeau Calvados, France. He married CHARLOTTE PEYRIGARD (Perigaulx) - (French records show). See marriage dates below. They had a son Pierre Buhot born 1690, in Normandy, France
1699 - Pierre (2nd) was nine years old when his father died and his Uncle - Pierre LeGrand (known as "Peter the Great" - Peter Buhot - who was a Pirate) took custody of him
1701 - Pierre (2nd) at the age of 11 years old, sailed on an English ship to Canada - when he arrived he was almost killed by the Indians - as they hated the English, but he spoke to them in French and they liked the French, so they let him live - but killed his friends that were on the boat. The ship landed in the Bay of Fundy in a place called Isle Haute - (I think it is located on the border of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada). On the boat also was another known pirate named Pirate L'au - (Edward Low). After he (Pierre) landed in Isle Haute, the Indians took him to the house of Michael Poirier (known today as PERRY). Michael Poirier had a daughter who took care of him and he ended up marrying her - He married Mageleine Poirier.

1723 - On May2, 123 - Pierre came back to Beaubassin and married Mageleine Poirier. They had 9 children -(In my research - I could only find 5 of the nine childen). - see children below and their marriages. Some records are based on the wrong info on the internet!!! The records I have are confirmed and correct!!
1728 - Pierre moved to Charlottetown, PEI (Port LaJoie) according to the census and was listed there as being so.
1729 - Pierre moved back to Beaubassin, Acadia, New Brunswick- Listed as resident in 1730 census record. Pierre settled on a piece of land and built a bridge called Pont de Bute (various spellings have been found - Pont A. Buhot, Pont A Buot, Pont de Buot- now known as Point Bute) - (Buote Bridge). The bridge was used for the deportation of French in (1755) when the English moved in and deported everyone that was French. Point Bute is close to a place called Jolicure, (either New Brunswick or Nova Scotia) I have to look at my map - lol
1740 - Mageleine Buhot (Poirier) - died at childbirth, while giving birth to her son FRANCOIS JEAN BUHOT Sept 3, 1740 in Beaubassin, Beausejour, Acadia (Amherst, Nova Scotia).
