    Notes:

    René's third son Michel, born at Minas in c1726, followed his family to Petitcoudiac. He married Anne-Euphrosine Vincent probably at Minas in c1750 but may have settled at Chignecto or in the trois-rivières. From 1751 to 1754, Anne-Euphrosine gave Michel three children, two sons and a daughter. They escaped the British roundups in Nova Scotia in the fall of 1755 and sought refuge on the Gulf of St. Lawrence shore. Sometime in the late 1750s or early 1760s, they either surrendered to, or were captured by, British forces in the area and held in a prison compound in Nova Scotia. Anne-Euphrosine gave Michel another daughter in c1762 perhaps at Fort Edward, Pigiguit--four children, two sons and two daughters, in all. In October 1762, British officials counted Michel and his family of six at Fort Edward, so their younger daughter likely had been born by then. In 1764-65, they followed the Broussards from Halifax to Louisiana via Cap-Français, French St.-Domingue, settled with them on lower Bayou Teche. Michel died "at Vermillon" in the Attakapas District in January 1784, in his late 50s. His daughters married into the Fostin, Daigle, and Trahan families on the prairies. His two sons also married there, into the Hugon and Thibodeaux families, and created vigorous lines in what became St. Martin, St. Landry, Lafayette, and Vermilion parishes.

    Michel Trahan of Grand-Pré, age 39, Jean Ursule, and perhaps René's brother, came with wife Anne-Euphrosine Vincent of Port-Royal, age 34, and four children--Paul, age 13; Françoise, age 12; Jean-Athanase, called Athanase and Thanase, age 11; and Marie-Françoise, age 2. They settled on the lower Vermilion River. Michel died "at Vermilion" in January 1784, in his late 50s. Daughter Françoise, widow of Jacques Fostin, fils and Simon-Pierre Daigle, fils, died in Lafayette Parish in December 1826, in her early 70s. Daughter Marie Françoise, wife of cousin Jean-Baptiste Trahan, died in Lafayette Parish in June 1832, in her late 60s; her succession was filed at the Vermilionville courthouse that month. Michel's sons Paul and Athanase settled on Bayou Vermilion in what became St. Martin and Lafayette parishes. They and their many sons produced vigorous family lines.
