Notes:

during the Deportation of 1755, Charles was aboard a transport ship, the Pembroke, which was bound for North Carolina. A revolt onboard the ship, led by Charles Belliveau, of the Acadian men against their English captors succeeded and the ship was turned around and sailed up the St. John River where the Acadians disembarked. Some of the Acadians travelled on foot to Quebec where Charles died during a small pox epidemic that hit the area 2 years later, claiming the lives of many of the Acadians who had escaped the Deportations.

Marie (daughter of François Bourg and Marguerite Boudrot) was born About 1684, Port Royal, Arcadia, Annapolis, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 12 Mar 1751, St Vallier, Bellechasse, Québec, Canada; was buried 14 Mar 1751, Port Royal, Arcadia, Annapolis, Nova Scotia, Canada.
