“ Le sort de ce Jean-Constant est inconnu. Dans <<The Acadian Exile in Nantes>>, 1775-1785, on lit qu’un enfant de couple Olivier Prince-Pélagie Brault serait décédé le 8 octobre 1778. Mais l’auteur cite le nom de François-Firmin sans doute par erreur puisque Firmin a vécu. Il s’agit probablement plutôt de Jean-Constant. “
Translation:
“ The fate of this Jean-Constant is not known. In “The Acadian Exile in Nantes”, 1775-1785 (sic, “The Acadian Exiles in Nantes, 1775-1785”), we read that a child of the couple Olivier Prince-Pélagie Brault has died on 8 October 1778. But the author cites the name of François-Firmin - no doubt in error since Firmin is alive. Rather it is probably Jean-Constant. “
