• Notes

  Alexis Breau and his family were deported to Boston in 1755 and remained in that vicinity (Bingham was their last residence) until 1767 when they, except for Pierre Firmin, migrated to "La Petite Riviere de Montreal" near the present city of Montreal. In Mar 1766 the Massachusetts legislature sent Alexis Breau and another man to Québec to secure from English governor Murray a permit for the Acadians to migrate there. in June, Alexis returned alone to Boston with the permit dated 28 Apr 1766.

He married Marguerite Bariault in about 1745, in Grand Pre, Nova Scotia. They are the parents of at least the following who were verified with PRDH: 1) Joseph (abt 1747-1827) md Felicite Boudreau 2) Jean-Baptiste (abt 1751-1794) md Marie-Charlotte Brosseau 3) Charles (abt 1753-1839) md Marguerite Clouatre 4) Marie (abt 1755- ) md Firmin Boudreau 5) Elisabeth-Isabelle (abt 1757-1825) md Laurent Roy 6) Marguerite (abt 1760-1776) 7) Francoise-Rose (abt 1763-1848) md Francois Roy Alexis & his family were exiled in 1755. He was first sent to Hingham, Massachusetts. Then it was to Hull and Boston. Marguerite was deported to Maine in 1755 one day after giving birth to Isabelle. Alexis spent 4 years hunting for Marguerite after deportation from Acadia. He finally found her in the Boston area. According to Brother Bernard: "The unfortunate Acadians, dispersed in 1755, received an amnesty from Governor Murray in the spring of 1766 and as the news reached them, they undertook to return to Canada. Between 1765 to 1780 the road to Montreal was filled with them. Alexis Brault and family first went to L'Assumption, Laprairie in May 1767. Alexis then obtained a land grand in L'Acadie for parcels of land on the west bank of the Petite Riviere de Montreal opposite the Roy brothers." Please note that his burial record is from the parish of Ste-Marguerite-de-Blairfindie, which is now part of L'Acadie.
