Pierre BILLIOU⁽²⁾ was baptized about 1632 in La Bassee or Wicres, in "French Flanders". ⁽²⁾
French Flanders was actually Belgian territory which was then in the possession of the King of Spain but which afterwards became a part of Artois, France. As a result of the persecution of the Walloons (French Huguenots of the early 17th century) Pierre eventually went to Leyden, Holland. He emigrated on 9 May 1661 from Leyden, Holland.⁽³²⁾ Pierre arrived in New Amterdam, on August 6, 1661 with his wife and four children on the ship St. Jean Baptist. Their youngest child, Isaac, was born at sea.

On Aug.22 that year Pierre, with eighteen associates, petitioned the Governor of the Province to grant them land upon which to settle on Staten Island. A majority of the petitioners later dropped out, but Billiou persevered and eventually settled there. It was he who succeeded in pacifying the Indians where others had failed and it was he who, with the assistance of the Government's surveyor, laid out the first Staten Island town. He was later appointed judicial officer of the first court, established 28 Jan. 1664; was a delegate to the General Assembly in Manhattan 10 April 1664; was appointed a Lieutenant of Militia, 14 May 1669; and was, on Aug. 25, 1673, elected Schout and Schepen (sheriff and magistrate) during the Dutch reoccupation.

The town mentioned above was Oude Dorp, now on South Beach, and was the first permanent settlement on Staten Island. Pierre did not build his house in Oude Dorp, but picked a spot beneath the hills farther inland. His house was built in the style of his native land, with its steep-pitched roof. The most distinctive feature of his house is the huge fireplace, with no jambs and sides. The oldest section of the house is built of stone and given the date of 1662, the house stands as the only remaining building on Staten Island built under Dutch rule. This residence, known as the Billiou-Stillwell-Perine House, is maintained by the Staten Island Historical Society and is open for tours. The current address is: 1476 Richman Rd., Dongan Hills, Richman, New York.
