Pierre d'Ailleboust, sieur d'Argenteuil:
Pierre was born on 24 jun.1669 in Quebec to Charles-Joseph d'Ailleboust,
sieur de Musseaux & Catherine LeGardeur de Repentigny (m.16 sep.1652
in Quebec). He married Marie Louise Denis/Denys in Quebec on 14 nov.1687.
By May of 1693 Pierre is hiring men in partnership with Simon Reaume at
Montreal for "le voyage des 8ta8ois". In 1696 Pierre was sent by Gov.Louis
de Buade, Comte de Frontenac to Sioux country with presents to "cover"
the death of Tioscates/Tioskatin. Tioskatin was by some account a Chief
of the Dakota at the mouth of the Minnesota River and by other references
referred to as a warrior, but La Potherie states "he was the first of his
tribe to visit Canada". He was accompanied by Pierre Le Sueur in 1695 along
with Ojibwe Chief Chingouabe and spoke with Frontenac in council. The Dakota
& Ojibwe representatives spoke of each other as allies against the
Mascoutens & Fox, Tioskatin speaking of Dakota prisoners among the
Fox, Ottawa & Huron. Tioskatin requested Iron & a "Father" for
his people and gave Frontenac 22 arrows, represennting the villages numbered
among the Dakota. Tioskatin died in Montreal. By march of 1707 Pierre is
in Detroit and in 1708 he is sent by Cadillac with Outavois from Detroit
to Michilimackinac. Pierre was buried 16 mar.1711 in Montreal.
