Pierre married Marie LAGUISVOISE. (Marie LAGUISVOISE was born in 1787 in St Louis Territory, Missouri, USA, died on 5 September 1850 in St Louis, Marion, Oregon, USA and was buried on 6 September 1850 in St Louis Parish, Salem, Oregon, USA.)

Marie married Joseph venier after Pierre's death. Her third husband was Jean Toupin.
