General Notes: Husband - Pierre Pilet dit La Sonde

---

On page 97 of Kaskaskia under the French Regime Natalia Belting describes the descendants of Pierre Pilet dit Lasonde and his wife. She also says,

"On May 2, 1737, four arpents of land at Prairie du Rocher, reaching from the hills to the Mississippi, were granted to him, and on July 9 another arpent was given to him."

On page 58 she says,

"Pierre Pilet dit La Sonde and his wife, Marie Madeleine Boisron, on November 7, 1724, leased for five years from Louis Turpin property in Kaskaskia consisting of half a barn, half a house, half a mill, two cows, two oxen trained to work, two bulls, a horse, a cart, an old plow, two scythes, three sickles and three arpents of land. The rent was eighty minots of wheat a year." (Kaskaskia Mss., Commercial Papers, I.)

On page 36 she says,

"Among the first stone houses in Kaskaskia was that built for Pierre Pilet dit Lasonde by Charles Gossiaux, mason of Prairie du Rocher and Eustache Moreau, a mason of Kaskaskia. The contract, drawn March 2, 1739, which describes the house, almost defies translation, the French is so bad.

"Lasonde agreed to furnish all the material and pay the builders 700 livres, half in card-money, half in flour." (Kaskaskia Mss., Public Papers, III)
