'Pierre made his will before notary Becquet on 28 May 1670 when he was gravely ill in the Hotel-Dieu of Quebec. He gave twenty livres to the hospital twenty livres to the Chapel of the Jusuit fathers twenty livres to the Church of Beauport his wife Babe Guyon was to inherit all else without reference to any other custom of inheritence however, Pierre lived for five more years... This brave man died at Sainte-Famille on the Island of Orleans, where he was buried on 29 January 1675... It seems that Barbe Guyon, the widow, lived for many years in the home of her daughter Marie, the wife of Guillaume Bauche, at Sainte-Famille it is there that we find her in the census of 1681. But later on, she must have lived at Saint-Pierre with one of her sons she was buried from there on 29 November 1700.'
