♂Pierre Richard

Born about 1661, Port-Royal, Acadie.

Pierre Richard (born about 1661) was an Acadian of Port-Royal. He was most likely the seventh great-grandfather of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through his son René Richard (born 1689).

He was born at Port-Royal, Acadie, the son of Michel Richard (born 1630) and Madeleine Blanchard (born 1643). The Census of Acadia for Port-Royal counted him at ten in 1671. He was living at Les Mines in 1693 and at Grand-Pré in 1714. On 12 March 1715 he was listed among the inhabitants of Les Mines as absent.
