Sédilot was born about 1599 or 1600 at Montreuil-sur-Brêche, France, and moved to Gif-sur-Yvette, Île-de-France where he worked as a gardener.
At some point prior to 1636, the elder Marie died and Sédilot found himself widowed. Their wedding was held in Saint Remy, France. He appears to have been successful at this work as his contract was renewed in 1640.
In 1645 Sédilot received land from Governor Charles de Montmagny, which he settled on with his family.
In 1667, census records show that he owned 34 acres of cropland and three cattle. Sédilot died January 25, 1672, and he was buried the following day at Notre-Dame-de-Québec.
