Parents:  

As of this time, there has not been found documentery evidence that establishes the parents of Pierre Vezina.
However, it should be noted that it is the estimation of Emil L'Homme and Rick Vezina (both knowledgeable on French Canadian church records) that the Pierre Vezina who immigrated 1855 to the United States was likely Pierre Vezina, born 1834, the seventh male child of the farmer, Laurent Vezina (Nicolas, Charles, Nicolas, Francois 1, Jacques) of Roch L'Achigan, Quebec, Canada and wife Suzanne Perrault. Both L'Homme and Vezina make note of the absence of any marriage or death records in Canada for Pierre Vezina, born 1834, the son of Laurent Vezina. It should also be noted that the 1834 birthdate is consistent with the age of Peter Visnor of Benton county,  as shown on the 1870 Minnesota census.    
 

Remarks:   Sophia Trotterchaud had two more children with a fellow named Pelland.
