Pierre was the 6th child of Michel Haché-Gallant and Anne-Marie Cormier. He was born in Beaubassin, Acadie (Nova Scotia). The British gained dominion over Acadie under the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht, so Pierre’s father decided to move the family to Ile-Ste-Jean, now Prince Edward Island.
Cecile was the daughter of Pierre Lavergne and Cecile-Anne Bernon of Port-Royal, Acadie.
Pierre and Cecile married on 1 Mar 1724 in Port-Lajoie, Ile-Ste-Jean.

Michel was born probably in Sainte-Pierre, Acadie (St. Peter’s in Cape Breton). His parents were an unnamed Micmac woman and a Frenchman from Montididier, Beauvais in north central France variously identified as Michel Haché, Michel Gallant, and Pierre L’Arché (~1618-15 Oct 1668). Arché meant something like an officer of the peace. Pierre/Michel brought a wife from France, Adrienne Langlois. Unclear when she died.
Anne-Marie was born in Beaubassin, Acadie, the daughter of militia captain Thomas Cormier and Marie-Madeleine Girouard.
Michel and Anne-Marie married in 1690 in Beaubassin. Census records from 1693 through 1714 showed them in Beaubassin. Like his father, Michel also served as an officer of the peace (arché). He had some education, and was widely respected.
Queen Anne’s War (1702-1713), also called the War of the Spanish Succession, concluded with the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht, which ceded Acadie to England. In March 1715 the King of England’s sovereignty was proclaimed in Beaubassin. Michel didn’t want to be an English subject, so he and most of his family relocated over the next several years to Port-Lajoie, Ile-Ste-Jean (present-day Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island). Michel was appointed harbor captain upon his arrival.
In the spring of 1737, Michel fell through rotten ice and drowned in Port-Lajoie’s North River (Riviere du Nord), aged not quite 75. Anne-Marie lived until at least 1739, but her year of death is unknown. Both were buried at what is now the Port-la-Joye/Fort Amherst National Historic Site on Haché-Gallant Drive in Rocky Point, Queens County, Prince Edward Island, across the bay from the town of Amherst. The exact site of the graveyard has long since been lost.
