(7) *Note: I found a statement which said that in 1775 Jean Sr. & Marie were part of the Acadian families taking part in the second convoy leaving Nantes, France for New Orleans. The list, however, says Jean, Sr. and Jean, Jr. were absent. In 1763 Jean Anselme, his wife and two oldest children were prisoners of war at Fort Beausejour on August 24, 1763 (see Dudley LeBlanc’s “The Acadians”. “5569

The names mentioned above are all the Acadians who are now prisoners at Fort Cumberland 24 August 1763.

“ LIST OF THE ACADIAN PRISONERS AT FORT BEAUSEJOUR ON AUGUST 24, 1763:

This list of 374 names was sent to the Duc de Nivernois with a pathetic appeal to help them get away. Most of these people had moved from Acadia before the exile and were captured on the Memramcook and Peticodiac rivers. Others were from Cocagne and Miramichi. The English authorities considered them prisoners of war and refused to allow them to leave. The next year they were offered land but most of them left clandestinely and reached the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. From there a few went to France but the most part went to St. Dominque and then to Louisiana.

From the Archives National, Fonds des Colonies, C 12 - Vol. 1, fol. 22-26, and quoted in the 7th Edition of the Acadian Historical Society, March 1965 - Moncton, N. B., Canada.
