In the middle of the 1800's, Thomas Pilon and his second wife Josephine Levesque moved with their family from the Montreal, Quebec area to the Detroit, Michigan area. There, more children were born who would form the basis for a large descendance. In 1978, two of Thomas and Josephine's great-great-grandchildren produced a detailed accounting of their ancestors' large family. Titled: "Genealogy and Family History of the Thomas Bernard Pilon Family" and published by Corinthian Press, the precious book also provides valuable information for other branches of the North American Pilon family. We have, with the permission of Alberta Pilon McGovern and Robert Louis Pilon, reproduced here some of the main elements of the Detroit, Michigan family tree, up to the beginning of the XXth century. A second source of information which has contributed to this chart is the unpublished work by Lionel Pesant "Répertoire de mariages Pilon, Hommes". |
