Paul Perrot was born in 1676 at Repentigny, the son of Paul (Tanguay gives the family name as Perrot) and Marie Chrétien. He was baptised on 28 October at Pointe-aux-Trembles[1][2].

Contrat de mariage de Paul Perrot et Marie Montanbaut (5 novembre 1702). Notaire Étienne Jacob[4]
On 6 November 1702 in Sainte-Famille, Île d'Orléans, Paul Perot married Marie Montambaut[5], and they had four known children - Marie Josephe, Paul, Jacques and Marie Madeleine, all of whom married, and probably two others who died young.
Il décède entre le 7 septembre 1713, où il fit une vente de terre à son beau-frère Jacques Montanbault devant le notaire Guillaume de Nevers (actes perdus), comme en fait foi la revente de cette terre par Jacques Montabault en 1716 devant Chambalon, et le 11 février 1714, date où sa veuve écrit de sa main une procuration à M. de La Chevrotière et elle signe Marie Montanbault veufve Pero:
janvier 1716). Notaire Louis Chambalon Vol XIX pg 520[4][6]
No record for Paul's death has yet been found. He died between 7 September 1713 when he made a sale of land to his brother-in-law Jacques Montanbault, and 11 February 1714 when his wife wrote a power of attorney and signs it as his widow. (see above)
Tanguay lists two sons of Paul Perrot dit Lagorce and Marie Chrétien with similar names:
both in Repentigny.
Tanguay has Pierre-Paul as the one who marries Marie Montambault in 1702, and gives a wife Madeleine l'Eveille to Paul, but without any further details.
The Drouin collection shows that both were baptised as Paul, the elder on 30 October 1674 and the younger on 28 October 1676, both in Pointe-aux-Trembles (Repentigny parish records start in 1674, but no priest was resident yet).
At the 1681 census both Pierre and Paul are listed, aged seven and five respectively[8]. The family are still in Repentigny.
There is a record for the burial of Pierre aged nine, son of Paul Perrot Lagorce and Marie Chrestien, at Repentigny from January 1684[9].
The father of Marie Montambault was Michel Montambault dit Leveille, which would explain the confusion in Tanguay.
