James Piggott finally marries Frances Ballew although no formal document exists attesting to the marriage. Frances Piggott already has a reputation as a lay doctor after performing operations on several who are injured in Indian raids. She also bears James Piggott another child, a daughter named Frances.

Piggott builds a mill and a trading post, and cultivates a section of land ten arpents wide. (An acre is about 1.1834 square arpents.) French land grants were usually long and narrow. More people had frontage on rivers, and it allowed farmers to cultivate their land within eyesight of their neighbors which afforded greater safety.
