At Port Tobacco, Maryland, 1763. Among the Acadian exiles and German Catholics who pooled money to buy passage to Louisiana, late 1768. The passengers soon discovered that the vessel upon which they were to sail was unseaworthy, and they were obliged to refit the ship. Departed Port Tobacco, Maryland, for Louisiana aboard the Britain, January 5, 1769. The ship's provisions were dangerously low when the ship sailed. Arrived off the Louisiana coast on February 21, but the ship's commander refused to put ashore; instead the vessel sailed aimlessly throughout the Gulf of Mexico until the passengers, who had been reduced to eating rats and shoe leather, mutinied and forced the sailors to make landfall as quickly as possible. Upon landing at Matagorda Bay, the crew and passengers were arrested and detained as smugglers by Spanish authorities at Goliad, Texas. The Acadians subsequently worked at local ranches during days, returning to their detention center in the presidio at night, until their release on August 11, 1769. The Acadians subsequently traved overland to Natchitoches, where they arrived October 24, then to the Iberville District. Many of the Acadians in this party continued on to the Opelousas District, where they finally settled. |
He is listed in the 1779 muster roll of the Opelousas District militia. This suggests that he served in the 1779 Spanish military campaign against Manchac and Baton Rouge in British West Florida during the American Revolution. His name is rendered as Jean Benoist in the 1779 list. The 1788 census of the Opelousas District indicates that he was the head of a household that included one man and one woman. He and his family owned fifteen cows and five horses. They occupied a very small tract of land with only two arpents frontage. According to the May 1796 census of the Opelousas District, he was the head of a household that included three boys under the age of fifteen years, one male fifteen years of age or older, and one female fifteen years of age or older. He and his family owned no slaves. They resided in the Grand Coteau area of the Opelousas District. |

Many of the Acadians in this party continued on to the Opelousas District, where they finally settled. |
The March 6, 1777, census of the Iberville District indicates that he was the forty-year-old head of a household that included his thirty-eight-year-old wife, an eighteen-year-old son, a twelve-year-old son, and an eight-year-old daughter. He and his family owned eighteen cows, ten hogs, eighteen chickens, and a tract of land with six arpents frontage on the Mississippi River. Petitioned Louis Dutisné, commandant of the Iberville District, for permission to relocated in the Opelousas District, ca. October 12, 1777. On October 12, 1777, Dutisné informed the governor that Benoit claimed that living along the Mississippi River was "prejudicial to his health." |
|
Father Joseph de Arazena officiated at his burial ceremony. Olivier Benoit's succession, in the original acts of St. Landry Parish, is dated December 8, 1787. A probate inventory was compiled on December 27, 1787. The value of his estate was 426 piastres. |

On September 25, 1771, Cabannocé co-commandant Nicolas Verret informed Governor Luís de Unzaga that Augustin Boudrot (Boudreau), "an Acadian established in this country," had received a letter from an uncle in Canada indicating that one Mr. Chabot, a Quebec merchant, had paid a debt owed Augustin Boudrot in the amount of 7,800 livres. Because of the difficulty in transporting currency with any degree of security, Boudrot requested permission to travel to Canada to obtain the money. He assured Verret that he would return to his family once he had settled this business matter. The May 10, 1777, muster roll indicates that he was a fusilier in the Attakapas District militia. |

Ecclesiastical records indicate that Etienne LeBlanc's family was in Louisiana in 1765. The family probably settled temporarily in the Attakapas District before moving to Cabannocé. The April 9, 1766, census lists the following persons in Etienne LeBlanc's household: Etienne, 43 years old; his wife, Elizabeth Boudrot, 45 years old; and the following children: Simon, 22 years old; Etienne, 15 years old; Mathurin, 12 years old; Joseph, 5 years old; Marguerite, 19 years old; Magdelaine (Madeleine), 8 years old; and Marie, 2 years old. The family resided on a parcel of land measuring six arpents frontage on the right bank of the Mississippi River. Etienne LeBlanc, her son, owned two firearms. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as a forty-five-year-old widow and the head of a household that included the following persons: Etienne, her son, 17 years old; Mathurin, her son, 13 years old; Marguerite, her daughter, 19 years old; Magdeleine, her daughter, 11 years old; and Marthe, her daughter, 5 years old. Identified in the August 1, 1770, census of the right bank of Ascension Parish as the forty-nine-year-old, widowed head of a household that included the following persons: Etienne LeBlanc, her son, 16 years old; Mathurin LeBlanc, 14 years old; Marguerite LeBlanc, 20 years old; Marie Madeleine LeBlanc, her daugher, 3 years old; and Marie Marthe LeBlanc, her daughter, 6 years old. Identified by Assumption Parish officials as a local farmer with surplus rice and/or corn during the 1770 colonial grain shortage. A December 25, 1770, list indicates that she had thirty barrels of surplus corn. Unlike numerous other Acadian residents of the Cabannocé District, he reportedly approved of Chevalier de Bellevue's land survey, which drastically reduced some waterfront properties, while drastically increasing the size of others, ca. May 27, 1771. The April 15, 1777, census of the inhabitants of the Ascension Parish of the Lafourche des Chetimachas District indicates that she was the fifty-six-year-old head of a household that included the following children: Etienne LeBlanc, her son, 24 years old; Mathurin LeBlanc, her son, 19 years old; Magdeleine LeBlanc, her daughter, 18 years old; and Marie LeBlanc, her daughter, 12 years old. Veuve LeBlanc and her family owned a tract of land with six arpents frontage on the Mississippi River. They also owned seventeen cows, four horses, fifteen hogs, and two muskets. |

Participated in French skirmishes against British forces near Fort Beauséjour, 1755. Led sixty men against the British forces beseigning Fort Beauséjour on June 16, 1755. Granted provisional amnesty by Col. Robert Monckton in exchange for Broussard's services as mediator between the British military and the French-allied Micmac Indians. Later organized Acadians in present-day New Brunswick into a resistance movement. Obtailed from the Canadian governor letters of marque and outfitted a privateer that captured several British ships in the Bay of Fundy. In November 1758, he led members of the Acadian resistance against British troops attempting to destroy Acadian settlements along the Petitcodiac River; wounded in the foot in the ensuing battle. Subsequently moved his family to the Miramichi River area. Identified by British General Jeffrey Amherst as the charismatic leader of the Acadian resistance, August 1761. When his followers faced famine, Broussard sued for peace. On the rolls as a prisoner of war at Fort Edward, ca. July 12, 1762. Subsequently moved to detention camps at Halifax, but his wife and children remained at Fort Edward. British records from Fort Edward, dated August 9, 1762, indicate that five members of his family were held as prisoners, but the family received only 3 1/3 rations. Released and later arrested at Pisiquid, Nova Scotia, and brought before the governor's council for carrying a letter from French authorities to the Acadians. Jailed until 1764. |
Helped organize the migration of former Acadian prisoners at Halifax to Louisiana by way of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti). Departing Halifax in November 1764, Broussard and his followers arrived at New Orleans in February 1765. Joined with other Acadian leaders in signing a contract to grow cattle on shares for Antoine Bernard Dauterive, April 4, 1765. Louisiana's French colonial governor appointed Broussard the first commandant of the Attakapas district, April 8, 1765. Departed with the Acadians for the Attakapas country, ca. late April 1765. The fragmentary extant documentation suggests that he settled with his brother Alexandre in the Fausse Pointe area. |
|
The date of his death is the subject of some considerable debate, because of the existence of two burial entries for Acadians named Joseph Broussard. The first indicates that he died in the Attakapas district on September 5, 1765. |

A general census of the Attakapas District compiled around 1769 indicates that he was a nineteen-year-old bachelor. He owned six cows and five horses. Identified in the 1771 census of the Attakapas District as a twenty-one-year-old bachelor. The census indicates that he owned fifteen cattle and seven horses. He occupied but did not own a tract of land measuring twelve arpents frontage. He participated in the election to select a second sindic for the construction of a church in the Attakapas District, May 16, 1773. The June 20, 1774, muster roll indicates that he was a fusilier in the Attakapas District militia. The October 30, 1774, census of the Attakapas District indicates that he was a bachelor living alone. He owned fifty cows and eighteen horses or mules. The May 10, 1777, muster roll indicates that he was a sergeant in the Attakapas District militia. Pierre Broussard held the rank of sergeant in the Attakapas District militia unit in 1779. On December 29, 1779, Commandant Alexandre DeClouet ordered him to organize a detachment of ten men for the purpose of driving a herd of Attakapas cattle to New Orleans to feed the residents of the colonial capital and to support the Spanish war effort against British West Florida. DeClouet ordered Broussard to exercise all possible care in keeping the herd together and he forbade the sergeant to sell any of the cattle to settlers along the Mississippi River. The cattle drive successfully reached New Orleans, but on January 19, 1780, Governor Bernardo de G lvez expressed his disappointment because so many cattle were lost en route to the colonial capital. Listed in the 1789 muster roll as a member of the Attakapas District militia unit. On May 30, 1783, Commandant Alexandre DeClouet reported that Broussard, who was scheduled to lead a cattle drive from the Attakapas country to New Orleans, had contracted a fever and had thus been forced to turn over command of the drive to Joseph Prévost dit Colette. He served as a sergeant in the Attakapas District militia unit, 1785. On March 20, 1787, Pierre Broussard answered a summons to provide information regarding François Prévost. In his deposition, Broussard indicated that he led a cattle drive for Barthélemy Grevemberg in 1783. At New Orleans, the herd was sold for 1,900 piastres, but he received only 900 piastres of the sale price, because André Jung claimed 1,000 piastres as payment for a debt owed to him, evidently by Grevemberg. The matter was subsequently settled by arbitration mediated by Nicolas Forestall. On October 20, 1789, he joined with eight other Attakapas District ranchers in signing a contract to supply New Orleans with beef for one year. On May 8, 1791, at an assembly at which the local commandant requested bids for repairs to the local church, Pierre Broussard and Pierre Nezat presented a petition from settlers established along Bayous Vermilion and Carencro. This petition asked that the repair work on the district's only church in the present St. Martinville area be suspended until the petitioners had been given an opportunity to request establishment of a church in their neighborhood. On April 4, 1792, in a letter to the governor, Commandant Jean Delavillebeuvre described Pierre Broussard as an illiterate man who had joined with others to harrass the local priest, evidently about the establishment of a second church in the Attakapas District. Delavillebeuvre urged the governor to discipline Broussard and his cohorts for holding assemblies in violation of the commandant's orders to the contrary. On April 26, 1792, Jean Delavillebeuvre informed the governor that, despite officiallly posted gubernatorial proclamations prohibiting petitions not authorized by the local commandant and despite unspecified punishments already meted out to him, Pierre Broussard and his cohorts had re-established their "cabal," resumed their agitation for a church in the Carencro area, and evidently circulated another petition. Broussard's associates allegedly included Pierre Arseneau, Pierre Nezat, Pierre Dugas, and Jean Baptiste Broussard. His cumulative service record, compiled on December 31, 1797, provides the following information: He was a native of Acadia. He was forty-six years of age, and he was married. He had been appointed sergeant second-class on February 12, 1792, and had been promoted to the rank of sergeant first-class of grenadiers on December 1, 1796. He was again promoted to the rank of sublieutenant on June 15, 1797. His military dossier indicates that, by December 31, 1797, he had served in the Louisiana militia for seventeen years and in the Royal Mixed Legion of the Mississippi for five years, ten months, and eighteen days. As of December 31, 1797, he had not participated in any military campaigns. His superiors noted that he was "good for his rank; [had] supposed valor; [had] sufficient application [to duty] & capacity; [and had maintained] good conduct." |

Identified in the census of April 25, 1766, as a resident of the La Pointe settlement (near present-day Breaux Bridge) in the Attakapas district. A general census of the Attakapas District compiled around 1769 indicates that he was twenty-five years old. His household included an unidentified newborn infant and seventeen-year-old Frème (Ephrème) Bruno. He owned seven cows, three horses,a dn eight hogs. The census indicates that his household included one teenaged boy, two men, and one girl of undetermined age. Signed with his mark (he was illiterate) an unconditional oath of allegiance to Spain at the Attakapas District, December 8, 1769. Witnessed the marriage record of Michel Meau and Isabelle Broussard, Attakapas church, February 14, 1770. The 1771 census indicates that he was the twenty-seven-year-old head of a household that included his twenty-one-year-old wife, an unidentified one-year-old son, and twenty-year-old Etienne Bruno. Broussard participated in the election to select a second sindic for the construction of a church in the Attakapas District, May 16, 1773. The June 20, 1774, muster roll indicates that he was a fusilier in the Attakapas District militia. The October 30, 1774, census of the Attakapas District indicates that his household included his wife, two children, and ten slaves. His family owned forty-nine cows, nine horses or mules, and twenty pigs. Attakapas Commandant Alexandre DeClouet informed Governor Luís de Unzaga that, upon his return from the Opelousas District, that he had punished Simon Broussard, evidently for heeding "bad advice" from Jean Bérard, to whom he was related by marriage, January 25, 1775. (Jean Bérard was charged with insubordination. While the charge against Broussard is not specified, it was also for "insubordination".) On May 1, 1775, DeClouet informed Unzaga that, by means of the militia company drill that he held every Sunday, he had instilled "discipline" among all of the population, except for Simon Broussard, who remained insubordinate. DeClouet consequently ordered the militia sergeant to place Broussard under house arrest and to remain at Broussard's house to enforce the sentence. DeClouet requested gubernatorial authorization to strip Broussard of his lands and to expel him from the district. The May 10, 1777, muster roll indicates that he was a fusilier in the Attakapas District militia. Listed in the 1789 muster roll as a member of the Attakapas District militia unit. In 1791, Jean Baptiste Broussard, Olivier Landry, Simon Broussard, Joseph Hébert, and Firmin Giroire (Girouard), elders of the Acadian community, were interrogated regarding the performance of the commandant and church warden in the performance of their duties with regard to repairs to the local church. |

Possibly identified as Paul Fasson in the 1770 militia muster roll for the Iberville District, but a Paul Chiason appears in the January 23, 1770, muster roll for Louis Judice's Company, Lafourche Militia. Because he was a member of the Iberville District militia, the colonial government issued him one musket, one bayonet, and one belt, June 12, 1770.

If this child were born in New Orleans, as this baptismal certificat seems to suggest, then this baptism would help establish the approximately date of arrival of the Acadians led by Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil. Official correspondence from Louisiana's French caretaker adminisrators indicates only that they arrived in late February. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as a five-year-old member of his parents' household. |

The members of his household occupied a tract of land with six arpents frontage. They owned one cow and twenty hogs. Identified by Cabannocé officials as a local farmer with surplus rice and/or corn during the 1770 colonial grain shortage. A 1770 list indicates that he had twenty barrels of surplus corn. The April 15, 1777, census of the inhabitants of the right bank of the Mississippi River at St. Jacques de Cabannocé indicates that he was the forty-year-old head of a household that also included Marie Bourgeois, his forty-two-year-old wife. He and his wife evidently owned no land in 1777, but they did own ten cows and two horses. |

Michel Doucet signed with his mark (he was illiterate) an unconditional oath of allegiance to Spain at the Attakapas District, December 8, 1769. On December 5, 1770, during Louisiana's severe grain shortage, Jean Bérard listed him among the Attakapas settlers having twenty barrels of unhusked corn for sale.

He and his family occupied a tract of land with twelve arpents frontage, but they did not have formal title to the property. On February 28, 1771, prominent Attakapas rancher François LeDée notified Governor Luís de Unzaga that a party of Acadians, including Michel Doucet, Claude Martin, Joseph(?) Martin, René(?) Trahan, Baptiste La Bauve (Labove), Joseph(?) Landry, and Louis Levron, had approached him for a letter indicating that they were traveling to New Orleans without the required passport because they did not have time to obtain one from the commandant. The Acadians argued, and they did not have time to visit the commandant and "to make their journey to the city before it was time to begin cultivating their fields." The Acadians traveled to New Orleans in two boats. The October 30, 1774, census of the Attakapas District indicates that his household included the following persons: Michel Doucet, his wife, and two unidentified children. He and his family owned thirty cattle, eleven horses or mules, and eighteen hogs. |

Appears to have been among the Acadian prisoners of war at Halifax, August 16, 1763. |
Joseph Dugas appears to have arrived at New Orleans in February 1765 with the group of Acadians led by Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil, for his daughter Mathilde was baptized at St. Louis Catholic Church (now Cathedral) in the Crescent City on March 8, 1765. He and his family subsequently settled in the Attakapas district. Joseph Dugas died in the Attakapas district during the epidemic that spread through the Acadian encampments during the summer and fall of 1765. The date of Joseph Dugas' buried, however, is uncertain, because Father Jean-François de Civray, the local pastor, recorded three burial entries for persons named Joseph Dugas in the registers of the Attakapas church. Because the ages of the victims and the identities of the survivors are not indicated in the burial entries, positive identification of the deceased is impossible. Listed in the 1789 muster roll as a member of the Attakapas District militia unit. |
|
The registers of the Attakapas church provide the following dates for burials of persons named Joseph Dugas: July 27, 1765; October 6, 1765; October 11, 1765. His widow remarried at New Orleans on March 16, 1767. Her marriage record indicates that Joseph Dugas died "at Attakapas." |

Identified in the April 9, 1766, census of Cabannocé as an eight-year-old member of François Dugas's household. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as a nine-year-old resident of Charles Dugas's household. The household included his brothers Charles and Michel. The April 15, 1777, census of the inhabitants of the Ascension Parish of the Lafourche des Chetimachas District indicates that he was an eighteen-year-old member of the household of Charles Dugas, his brother, and Rose Babin, his sister-in-law. The July 10, 1783, muster roll of the Iberville District militia indicates that he was a corporal on active duty. His name is rendered as Téodore Dugal in the July 10, 1783 list. On October 23, 1785, the Iberville District commandant informed the governor that he had not maintained the levee, drainage ditch, and public road across his land grant as required by the colonial land regulations of 1770. Identified as an Ascension Parish contributor to a fund for the victims of the extremely destructive 1788 New Orleans fire. On November 15, 1788, he joined with twenty-eight other Iberville District residents in petitioning the governor to enforce the colony's 1770 land grant regulations. According to the petitioners, lax enforcement had allowed numerous landowners to avoid the onerous requirements of building levees, digging drainage ditches, and constructing a roadway across their land grants. As a result, many settlers endured annual flooding that destroyed their crops, pasturage, and livestock. On February 17, 1789, he and numerous other Lafourche District residents signed a petition voicing his willingness to comply with a royal ordinance removing paper money from circulation in Louisiana. Around April 16, 1793, he was summoned by Commandant Louis Judice to inspect the flooding caused by crevasses on the Lafourche District farms of Judice and Ducourneaux. |

The April 9, 1766, census of Cabannocé indicates that he was residing in his father's household on the right bank of the Mississippi River. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as the twenty-four-year-old head of a household that included the following persons: Marguerite Orillon, his wife, 19 years old; Marguerite, his daughter, 3 months old. His family occupied a tract of land with six arpents frontage. They owned three cows, eight hogs, and two muskets. Identified in the August 1, 1770, census of the right bank of Ascension Parish as as the twenty-four-year-old head of a household that included the followiing persons: Marguerite Orillon, his wife, 20 years old; Marguerite Forest, his daughter, 1 year old. Identified by Assumption Parish officials as a local farmer with surplus rice and/or corn during the 1770 colonial grain shortage. A December 25, 1770, list indicates that he had twenty barrels of surplus corn. Made his mark (he was illiterate) on a petition to Governor Luís de Unzaga, asking that Louis Andry be assigned to undertake a second land survey in the Cabannocé District, October 16, 1773. The April 15, 1777, census of the inhabitants of the Ascension Parish of the Lafourche des Chetimachas District indicates that he was the thirty-one-year-old head of a household that included the following persons: Marguerite Orillon, his wife, 27 years old; Joseph Forest, his son, 6 years old; Joseph Marans, a cabaret owner, 50 years old; and Angélique Dugas, the wife of Marans, 46 years old. Paul Forest and his family owned a tract of land with five arpents frontage on the Mississippi River. They also owned one slave, sixteen cows, two horses, seven sheep, fifteen pigs, and two muskets. The July 10, 1785, muster roll indicates that he was a sergeant in the Lafourche District militia unit. The local priest seems to have accused Forest of improper conduct with a female slave, ca. July 8, 1788. On July 8, 1788, Commandant Louis Judice ordered Forest to sell the slave. Forest's wife, however, strongly objected to the sale. As a consequence, Judice subsequently conducted an investigation that exonerated Forest, July 9, 1788. On August 22, 1796, Commandant Louis Judice complained that Forest had witnessed (and evidently tacitly condoned) an unscrupulous horse sale. On January 16, 1800, his estate was inventoried and appraised. His probate inventory indicates that his estate included a tract of land with 5 1/2 arpents frontage on the right bank of the Mississippi River, approximately one league below the parish church. The foregoing tract of land was bounded above by the property of Anselme Forest and below by the land of Victor Blanchard. Improvements on Pierre Paul Forest's land included a houes measuring twenty-five feet by fifteen feet. |

Ecclesiastical records indicate that Etienne LeBlanc's family was in Louisiana in 1765. The family probably settled temporarily in the Attakapas District before moving to Cabannocé. The April 9, 1766, census lists the following persons in Etienne LeBlanc's household: Etienne (43), his wife Elizabeth Boudrot (45), and the following children: Simon (22), Etienne (15), Mathurin (12), Joseph (5), Marguerite (19), Magdelaine (8), and Marie (2). The family resided on a parcel of land measuring six arpents frontage on the right bank of the Mississippi River. Etienne LeBlanc owned two firearms. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as a seventeen-year-old member of his widowed mother's household. The January 23, 1770, muster roll of Louis Judice's Militia Company, Cabannocé District, Acadian Coast, indicates that he was a fusilier and a seventeen-year-old bachelor. Identified in the August 1, 1770, census of the right bank of Ascension Parish as a sixteen-year-old member of his widowed mother's household. That household also included the following siblings: Mathurin, 14 years old; Marguerite, 20 years old; Marie Madeleine, 3 years old; and Marie Marthe, 6 years old. Petitioned Governor Luís de Unzaga for a land grant with six arpents frontage contiguous to that of François Duon (Duhon), ca. April 1771. Louis Judice, co-commandant of the Cabannocé District, informed Unzaga on April 22, 1771, that the land had been abandoned by Jean Jeansonne two years earlier. The April 15, 1777, census of the inhabitants of the Ascension Parish of the Lafourche des Chetimachas District indicates that he was a twenty-four-year-old member of his widowed mother's household. On July 27, 1777, at a meeting of all district settlers to discuss the merits of a proposal presented to the governor by ranchers in other districts to allow cattle to range freely throughout the year, he joined fifty-three other Lafourche de Chetimachas landowners in signing a petition expressing his opposition to the recommendation "made by people too lazy to make pens big enough to provide pasturage for their herds." On November 21, 1784, LeBlanc is identified in official governmental correspondence as the acting sublieutenant in the Cabannocé militia unit. On March 16, 1793, Paul Breau, sindic for the Cabannocé area, formally complained to the governor about the negligence of Pierre Part and Étienne (Estienne) Leblanc. Both men had ignored the sindic's orders to repair their levees. Alarmed by the daily rise in the Mississippi River, Breau asked the governor to order Part and LeBlanc, who werer evidently absentee landowners, to report to the Cabannocé District immediately and to undertake the necessary repairs. Identified as an Ascension Parish contributor to a fund for the victims of the extremely destructive 1788 New Orleans fire. He appears to have been the Étienne LeBlanc whose military service record was compiled by the Spanish colonial government on June 30, 1792. This service record indicates that it he was thirty-nine-years of age and a native of Louisbourg, Canada. (The birthplace cited in his service record also appears in numerous other Acadian service records. It appears to have been a generic term used by the Spanish scribe for Acadia.) According to the service record, he was married and enjoyed robust health. He became a volunteer in the colonial militia on February 12, 1770; He was promoted to the rank of sergeant-first class on September 10, 1779. He had served in the Cabannocé mliitia for twenty-two years and in the German Coast Disciplined Provincial Militia for four months and nineteen days. He had participated in the Spanish campaigns against Manchac and Baton Rouge (1779) and Mobile (1780). The service record indicates that his his conduct needed improvement. He had demonstrated valor in his military service, but he had also exhibited only average application to duty and poor ability. Ecclesiastical records indicate that he was a resident of Ascension Parish in 1799. |
|
His burial record maintains that he was forty-five years of age at the time of his death. |

Resided with his family on their Cabannocé farmstead in April 1766. The April 9, 1766, census of Cabannocé indicates that, despite his tender age, he owned a small concession measuring two arpents frontage along the right bank of the Mississippi River. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as an eleven-year-old member of his parents' household. The April 15, 1777, census of the inhabitants of the right bank of the Mississippi River at St. Jacques de Cabannocé indicates that he was a seventeen-year-old member of his parents' household.

He and his family appear to have been prisoners of war at Fort Edward, Nova Scotia, on October 5, 1761. Appears to have been among the Acadian prisoners of war at Halifax, August 16, 1763. British records suggest that his family remained as a prisoners of war at Fort Edward (Windsor), Nova Scotia, after he was sent to Halifax, Nova Scotia, with the other able-bodied Acadian men, July 12, 1762. British records from Fort Edward, dated August 9, 1762, indicate that two members of his family were held as prisoners, but the family received only 1 1/3 rations. He and his family appear to have been prisoners of war at Fort Edward, Nova Scotia, around October 11, 1762. |
According to the April 9, 1766, census of Cabannocé, Joseph LeBlanc owned a farm measuring six arpents frontage on the right bank of the Mississippi River. He also owned four cattle, eight hogs, and two firearms, making him one of the most affluent Acadian exiles at Cabannocé. In April 1766, his household consisted of his wife and the following children: Joseph, Gilles, Anne, and Isabelle. Served as a delegate representing the Cabannocé Acadians. Signed with his mark (he was illiterate) an unconditional oath of allegiance to Spain on behalf of the Acadians at the Cabannocé District, August 28, 1769. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as the fifty-year-old head of a household that included the following persons: Isabelle Gaudet, his wife, 50 years old; Gilles, his son, 11 years old; Anne, his daughter, 20 years old; Isabelle, his daughter, 14 years old. The members of the household owned a tract of land with six arpents frontage. The family owned ten cattle, two horses, twenty-one hogs, and two muskets. The April 15, 1777, census of the inhabitants of the right bank of the Mississippi River at St. Jacques de Cabannocé indicates that he was the fifty-seven-year-old head of a household that included the following persons: Elizabeth (Isabelle) Gaudet, his wife, 57 years old; Gilles LeBlanc, his son, 17 years old; and Grégoire LeBlanc, his son, 15 years old. He and his family owned a tract of land with five arpents frontage. They also owned three slaves, twenty cows, and five horses. He appears to have been the Joseph LeBlanc who was ordered by Cabannocé District Commandant Michel Cantrelle to conduct to boats to New Orleans, evidently in anticipation of the military campaign being planned by Governor Bernardo de G lvez. On July 28, 1786, he joined with numerous other St. Jacques de Cabannocé residents in signing a petition urging the newly appointed local priest to honor the deceased former priest's debt to the parish's church building fund. |

Resided with his family on their Cabannocé farmstead on the left bank of the Mississippi River, 1766. The April 9, 1766, census of Cabannocé indicates that he owned a concession measuring four arpents frontage on the right bank of the Mississippi River and that he also possessed six hogs and one firearm. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as a nineteen-year-old bachelor living alone on a tract of land with six arpents frontage. The census suggests that this property was adjacent to that of his parents. Joseph LeBlanc owned one musket. The January 23, 1770, muster roll of Louis Judice's Militia Company, Cabannocé District, Acadian Coast, indicates that he was a fusilier and a nineteen-year-old bachelor. The February 7, 1770, muster roll of the Iberville District militia unit indicates that he held the rank of fusilier and that he was twenty years of age. The June 21, 1771, muster roll of the Iberville District militia unit indicates that he held the rank of fusilier and that he was twenty years of age. His surname is rendered as Jausephe LeBlanc in the June 21, 1771 list. The March 6, 1777, muster roll of the Iberville District militia unit indicates that he held the rank of sergeant and that he was a twenty-year-old married man. The April 15, 1777, census of the inhabitants of the right bank of the Mississippi River at St. Jacques de Cabannocé indicates that he was a twenty-five-year-old head of a household that included the following persons: Marguerite LeBlanc, his wife, 28 years old; Simon LeBlanc, his son, 3 years old; Rosalie LeBlanc, his daughter, 5 years old; and Magdeleine (Madeleine) LeBlanc, his daughter, 1 year old. He and his family owned a tract of land with six arpents frontage. They owned one slave, sixteen cows, and three horses. The July 13, 1777, muster roll of the Iberville District militia unit indicates that he held the rank of first sergeant. He appears to have been the Joseph LeBlanc listed among the Lafourche District Acadians who volunteered to served under Governor Bernardo de G lvez in the Spanish campaign against British West Florida during the American Revolution, 1779. He held the rank of fusilier in the unit. On September 18, 1780, the Iberville District commandant compiled a list of local farmers whose cattle had been effected by a livestock epidemic then raging in Louisiana. According to this report, he lost one of his eleven cows. On November 15, 1788, he joined with twenty-eight other Iberville District residents in petitioning the governor to enforce the colony's 1770 land grant regulations. According to the petitioners, lax enforcement had allowed numerous landowners to avoid the onerous requirements of building levees, digging drainage ditches, and constructing a roadway across their land grants. As a result, many settlers endured annual flooding that destroyed their crops, pasturage, and livestock. On July 28, 1786, he joined with numerous other St. Jacques de Cabannocé residents in signing a petition urging the newly appointed local priest to honor the deceased former priest's debt to the parish's church building fund. On May 17, 1795, he participated in a meeting of the Cabannocé District notables to discuss means of increasing local security in the wake of the abortive 1795 Pointe Coupée slave uprising. |

The register of admissions at the Ursuline Convent in New Orleans indicates that she had been "at the convent some months" prior to August 1765. A circular letter written at the time of her death indicates that she had traveled to New Orleans with her family, and, "as soon as she learned that there was a religious community in New Orleans she asked to be received." On August 14, 1765, the religious at the convent held a meeting and agreed "that she [Rose LeBlanc] should be admitted to the novitiate in view of her good will, her gentl[e] disposition and kindness to all. She was received as a coadjutrix Sister, March 31, 1766 and received the religious habit [on] April 29, 1766 before the beginning of the very hot weather. Reverend Père Antoine, Spanish Capuchin, officiated at the ceremony." She took the religious name of Sister Ste. Monique on April 30, 1768. Father Dagobert, a French Capuchin, presided over the naming ceremony. In her death notice, a fellow Ursuline noted that "we have received her and she has edified us very much during the short time she was with us. . . . She was a very useful member of the community, skillful in all things, of a gay disposition, fervent and exact in all her duties, rendering prompt service to all alike. She was so grateful for her vocation that she said she could never thank God enough for the great favor of her religious vocation." |

She died of smallpox. |

The family resided on a parcel of land measuring six arpents frontage on the left bank of the Mississippi River. Etienne LeBlanc owned two firearms. The census also indicates that Simon owned a parcel of land measuring 4 arpents frontage along the right bank of the Mississippi. He had a firearm in his possession. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as a twenty-four-year-old bachelor living alone. He occupied a tract of land with 4 arpents frontage. He owned two cows, five hogs, one sheep, and one musket. The January 23, 1770, muster roll of Louis Judice's Militia Company, Cabannocé District, Acadian Coast, indicates that he was a fusilier and a twenty-four-year-old bachelor Identified in the August 1, 1770, census of the right bank of Ascension Parish as a twenty-four-year-old bachelor living alone. Identified by Assumption Parish officials as a local farmer with surplus rice and/or corn during the 1770 colonial grain shortage. A December 25, 1770, list indicates that he had thirty barrels of surplus corn. Unlike numerous other Acadian residents of the Cabannocé District, he reportedly approved of Chevalier de Bellevue's land survey, which drastically reduced some waterfront properties, while drastically increasing the size of others, ca. May 27, 1771. The April 15, 1777, census of the inhabitants of the Ascension Parish of the Lafourche des Chetimachas District indicates that he was the twenty-two-year-old head of a household that included the following persons: Isabelle (Elizabeth) LeBlanc, his wife, 22 years old; Magdeleine (Madeleine) LeBlanc, his daughter, 18 months old; and Joseph LeBlanc, his son, 3 years old. Simon LeBlanc and his family owned a tract of land with six arpents frontage on the Mississippi River. They also owned twenty cattle, one horse, five hogs, and two muskets. In mid-1777, three Acadians of approximately the same age were named Simon LeBlanc. One of them was a sergeant in the St. Jacques de Cabannocé militia unit that captured Dubreuil's boat and arrested its crew on June 17, 1777. On September 26, 1777, Commandant Louis Judice, who resided on the location of present-day Donaldsonville, complained that Simon LeBlanc had rented a horse to, and served as a guide for, a "Mr. Rose," an English fugitive from New Orleans. |

Trahan, Baptiste La Bauve (Labove), Joseph(?) Landry, and Louis Levron, had approached him for a letter indicating that they were traveling to New Orleans without the required passport because they did not have time to obtain one from the commandant.

Identified by Cabannocé officials as a local farmer with surplus rice and/or corn during the 1770 colonial grain shortage. A 1770 list indicates that he had eighty barrels of surplus corn. The October 25, 1774, census of the Opelousas District indicates that he was a bachelor living alone and that he did not own any livestock. The April 15, 1777, census of the inhabitants of the left bank of the Mississippi River at St. Jacques de Cabannocé indicates that he was a forty-year-old head of a household that included the following persons: Magdelaine Richard, his wife, 35 years old; Jean Poirier, his son, 17 years old; François Poirier, his son, 12 years old; Michel Poirier, his son, 3 years old; Marie Poirier, his daughter, 10 years old. Jean Poirier and his family owned a tract of land with twelve arpents frontage on the Mississippi River. They also owned four slaves, twenty cows, and five horses. He is listed as a fuselier in the Opelousas District militia, June 8, 1777. He is listed in the 1779 muster roll of the Opelousas District militia. This suggests that he served in the 1779 Spanish military campaign against Manchac and Baton Rouge in British West Florida during the American Revolution. His name is rendered Jean Poiret in the 1779 militia list. |

Received from New Orleans merchant Antoine de St. Maxent a receipt for 2,360 livres in Canadian paper money sent to Bordeaux on behalf of the Louisiana Acadians for possible redemption by the French crown. (The attempt was evidently unsuccessful.) Identified in the April 9, 1766, census of Cabannocé as the head of a household including himself and his wife, Marie Cormier.

Marie Louise Comeau |
Joseph C. Préjean |
Married (1) Magdeleine (Madeleine) Martin at Port Royal, Nova Scotia, July 21, 1749. She died December 17, 1772. Married (2) Marie Terriot, ca. 1773. |
First marriage: Marin, Joseph, Marie (born 1750), Anastasie (born 1751), Anne (Marianne) (born 1752), Marie Magdeleine (born August 1769), Joseph (born 1760), André (born October 6, 1765), Louis (baptized January 20, 1771), Félicité (born December 11, 1772) Second marriage: Dominique (born October 20, 1774), Hélène (born June 14, 1776) |
He and his family appear to have been prisoners of war at Fort Edward, Nova Scotia, on October 5, 1761. Amant Préjean and the other able-bodied Acadian men were sent from Fort Edward to Halifax, Nova Scotia, on July 12, 1762. His wife and children remained at Fort Edward. British records from Fort Edward, dated August 9, 1762, indicate that six members of his family were held as prisoners, but the family received only 4 1/3 rations. He and his family appear to have been prisoners of war at Fort Edward, Nova Scotia, around October 11, 1762. |
The birthdate of his son André Joseph indicates that he arrived in Louisiana sometime in early 1765. Identified as the head of a household in the April 9, 1766, census of Cabannocé. The census indicates that he occupied a parcel of land measuring six arpents frontage on the right bank of the Mississippi River. He also owned one hog and one firearm. His wife Magdeleine Martin and the following children shared his residence: Marin, André, Anastasie, and Anne. Served as a delegate representing the Cabannocé Acadians. Signed with his mark (he was illiterate) an unconditional oath of allegiance to Spain on behalf of the Acadians at the Cabannocé District, August 28, 1769. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as the forty-year-old head of a household that included the following persons: Magdeleine Martin, his wife, 41 years old; Joseph, his son, 10 years old; André, his son, 4 years old; Anastasie, his daughter, 18 years old; Marianne, his daughter, 16 years old, and Marie Magdeleine, his daughter, 1 month old. The members of this household occupied a tract of land with six arpents frontage. The family owned eight cattle, one horse, twenty hogs, and one musket. The 1769 census suggests that he and his family lived alongside the households of Marin Préjean, Joseph Préjean, and Charles Préjean. Identified by Assumption Parish officials as a local farmer with surplus rice and/or corn during the 1770 colonial grain shortage. A December 25, 1770, list indicates that he had twenty barrels of surplus corn. Identified in the August 1, 1770, census of Ascension Parish as the forty-seven-year-old head of a household that included the following persons: Magdeleine Martin, his wife, 48 years old; Joseph Préjean, his son, 10 years old; André Préjean, his son, 5 years old; Anne Préjean, his daughe, 17 years old; and Marie Préjean, his daughter, 2 years old. Amand Préjean and Desire LeBlanc were elected delegates representing the Acadian population of Cabannocé, ca. April 22, 1771. The delegates subsequently approached Governor Luís de Unzaga to complain that the priest assigned to their district remained at Natchitoches refused to take up his new posting. The Acadians noted that "the other people don't deserve him any more than they [the Acadians] do." Joined with numerous other Acadians in complaining vociferously about an official governmental land survey conducted by Chevalier de Bellevue which drastically reduced the size of his property, ca. May 27, 1771. At the time of his second marriage, around 1773, Amand Préjean "declared the following were issue of his first marriage: Marin, Joseph, André, Anne, Anastasie,Madeleine and Félicité." Made his mark (he was illiterate) on a petition to Governor Luís de Unzaga, asking that Louis Andry be assigned to undertake a second land survey in the Cabannocé District, October 16, 1773. Indicated that he would migrate to the Attakapas District if the original boundaries were not restored. On January 22, 1775, Pierre Landry purchased the Magdeleine Martin's estate. The sale evidently included the Préjean farm, a tract of land with five arpents frontage on the right bank of the Mississippi River, twenty-two leagues above New Orleans. Standing on this property, which was bounded above by the land of Marin Préjean and below by the property of Jean Jeansonne, was a house of sur sol construction measuring twenty-six by seventeen feet. The residence had bousillage walls. On June 16, 1775, Amand Préjean purchased the property and improvements that Pierre Landry had acquired from the Martin estate six months earlier. On January 10, 1779, Amand Préjean witnessed the marriage of Anne Blanchard and Jean Baptiste Cormier at the Attakapas church. On May 19, 1777, Amand Préjean and Joseph Granger, acting as agents for Marie Terriot (Theriot), sold to George Urquhart a tract of land with five arpents frontage on the right bank of the Mississippi River, about twenty-three leagues above New Orleans. |
|
Identified in ecclesiastical records as a resident of the "hill at Beaubassin" (east of present-day Carencro) at the time of his death. His death record maintains that he was sixty-six years old at the time of his death. |

Ecclesiastical records indicate that the family arrived in Louisiana in 1765. They probably subsequently moved to the Attakapas District before settling at Cabannocé. The April 9, 1766, census of Cabannocé indicates that the family occupied a parcel of land measuring six arpents frontage on the right bank of the Mississippi River. Identified in the September 14, 1769, census of St. Jacques de Cabannocé as an eighteen-year-old member of her parents' household. Identified in the August 1, 1770, census of Ascension Parish as a twenty-year-old member of the household headed by Jean Jeansonne. The position of her name suggests that she was married to Jean Jeansonne, but, according to genealogist Sidney A. Marchand, she had entered into a marriage contract with Jean Saulnier on April 28, 1770. According to the August 1, 1770, census, her household also included Pierre Jeansonne, Jean Jeansonne's brother. The census also suggests that she lived next door to her parents and siblings. |
