Marie-Jeanne (14 Jun 1755-1850) — m. Joseph dit Jos Magitte Arsenault about 1775
Pierre was born in Port Royal, Annapolis, Nova Scotia, the third of an alleged 15 children to Claude Bourgeois (1695-1763) and Marie Leblanc (1 Jan 1706-24 Jan 1781), who married in Port Royal on 24 Nov 1721.
Cecile was the sixth of nine children to René Paul Aucoin (~1690-1755) from Grand-Pré, Nova Scotia and Magdeleine Bourg (~1694-28 Jul 1754) from Cogequid, Acadia (Nova Scotia), who married about 1714.
Pierre and Cecile married in Port Royal about 1754. They apparently moved to Petitcodiac, Hopewell, Albert, New Brunswick, since that’s where their one child of record, Marie-Jeanne, was born before Cecile’s death in the mid- to late 1750s. However, sources claim that Cecile died in Port Royal.
Pierre married a second time in 1761 to Anne Anastasie Leblanc (22 May 1728-11 Oct 1770) from Grand Pré, Nova Scotia. They had at least three children:
Marie Anastasie (1764-5 Feb 1828) — m. François Leblanc about 1782
Pierre-Nabor dit Pierrot (8 May 1766-3 Dec 1854) — m. Henriette-Thècle Thibodeau in 1789
Joseph-Romain (May 1768-18xx) — m. Marie-Helene Arsenault in 1800
Anne is variously said to have died in Hants County, Nova Scotia or Saint Gabriel, Iberville, Louisiana, USA, and to be buried in Sainte-Famille Cemetery in Falmouth, Nova Scotia. The latter, if true, militates against the Louisiana angle. In 1770 or 1771, Pierre married for a third time to Anne Thébeau (14 Jul 1745-9 Nov 1830). Their children:
Jean-Baptiste dit Vieillard (1771-8 Oct 1839) — m. Apolline Bourque on 20 Apr 1801
Anne dite Nanon (~1774-~1793)
Mathurin (~1775-31 Mar 1845) — m. Marie Robichaud in 1802

Marie Modeste (~1777-1815) — m. Paul-Hypolite Landry in 1797
Scholastique (~1781-5 Feb 1850) — m. Regis Bellefontaine about 1799
Sophie (~1784-20 Oct 1871) — m. Alexis Leblanc in 1804

Seraphine (~1789-25 Jan 1883) — m. Moise Gallant on 2 Oct 1810
Alain-Talin (~1792-1872) — m. Rosalie Arsenault
Pierre died in 1821, and is buried at Notre Dame de la Visitation, Grand-Digue, Kent, New Brunswick.
Marie-Jeanne has her own entry in the family tree.
Anastasie was born in Pisiquid, Acadie (Nova Scotia). About 1782, she married François LeBlanc (1758-18 Oct 1844). Their children:

Marguerite (4 Mar 1827-30 Sep 1850) — m. Laurent Cormier on 23 Nov 1846
The claim that Joseph died on 24 Nov 1821 is clearly a confusion with his father. His actual date of death is unknown. Marie died in 1864 in Grande-Digue.
Seraphine was born in Memramcook, Westmorland, New Brunswick. She married Moise Gallant (~1790-1 Feb 1860) from Grand-Digue, Kent, New Brusnwick in 1810 in Memramcook. Known children:
