A few details which may help connect some dots:
1. His family name is actually 'Potier' Dubuisson. As often in New France, at that time, names were spelled in a loose and varied fashion (such as Potier, Pothier, Poitiers). 2. Born in 1615 in the Somme department (Northern France), he married Helene de Belleau, also from Somme, in 1635. His wife died in 1646 and he remarried in 1649. 3. He initially became a 'squire' ('ecuyer'), a 'King's gentleman' ('gentilhomme du Roi) then a captain in the French royal army, stationed in Furnes (in current Belgium), then Arras (Somme, Northern France) 4. He died on August 26th 1654 in the battle named the 'Secours d'Arras' (= Arras Rescue) between French royal (under Louis XIV) and Spanish troops. He was at that time Captain in the army which successfully defended Arras, under the order of Governor Jean de Schulemberg, Count of Montdejeu, as he was in charge of the 'Corne de Guiche' defense sector of Arras, where he died in battle. 5. His two orphan children, Marie-Charlotte and Jean-Baptiste Potier Dubuisson, were initially entrusted to his brother in law, another French royal officer, Francois de Belleau, serving in the Choisel-Praslin regiment. 6. Then, his two children were sent to New France, Quebec, as their uncle could not take care of them. Marie-Charlotte arrived in 1660, She married Joseph Hebert (who died in 1661 at the hands of Iroquois Amerindians on Orleans Island, off Quebec City) then Simon Lefebvre, dit Angers, with whom she had 8 children in Quebec City and Neuville (west of Quebec City). Jean-Baptiste, his son, emigrated to Quebec in 1665 as a 'squire' ('ecuyer') in the Carignan-Salieres Regiment, de Chambly Company, on the 'Vieux Simeon' ship from La Rochelle. After his time fighting with the regiment he became a fur trader in New England and New York, while spying on British troops for the Governor of New France, and then came back and finished his life in Montreal (he became the Cathedral's organist). He married Elisabeth Jossard, with whom he has 7 children, including Robert ('Intendant' on Ile Saint-Jean/Prince Edward island) and Guillaume Potier Dubuisson (soldier then officer with the Troupes Franches de Marine/Marine Troops). 7. His brother in law's daughter, Catherine de Belleau, also emigrated to New France in 1665, marrying Jean-Baptiste Morin.
