Acadian Immigrants to Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, 1766

Ages are as of 1766.  Individuals with surnames in bold are male family heads or the eldest sons of widows.  Hyperlinks take you to individual histories in the Acadian family pages, which contain many more details of each person's life.

NOTE:  Arrivals in September 1766 are the ones who are not in the Cabanocé militia list/census of April 1766 but are in the Cabanocé census of September 1769, found in Bourgeois, Cabanocey, 173-79, and Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth-Century Louisianians, 440-85, and are not on the lists of July 1767 or February 1768 arrivals from Maryland, found in Voorhies, J., pp. 428-39.  The logic for inclusion on this list is, first, the 1765 arrivals already were at Cabanocé to be counted in the April 1766 census there, and the September 1766 arrivals were not; second, the 1765 arrivals came from Halifax, not Maryland; and, third, the July 1767 and February 1768 arrivals from Maryland were parceled out to new settlements at St.-Gabriel d'Iberville and San Luis de Natchez, respectively, and those lists are very detailed.  The nine-member DAVID family, which reached New Orleans in October 1766, can be found on a separate list.  The column on the right is where Maryland authorities counted that person in July 1763.  See Jehn, Acadian Exiles in the Colonies, 150-58.
