Member of Attakapas Militia; burial record at St Martin de Tours Church [V4 #534]

In the 1766 census, Firmin Breau is listed as a bachelor, aged nineteen, living at Bayou Tortue on the Cote Gelee. He must have soon thereafter moved to the District of Cabahanoce (present St. James Parish) since he was married there and is listed in the census of that district taken in 1769. He is shown as a member of the Attakapas militia in 1777.

He was among the Acadian settlers who appear on the roll of the company of Captain Augustin Grevenberg, which joined Galvez's expedition that captured the British forts in the lower Mississippi valley in 1779. "S.A.R. Spanish Records, Spanish-English War 1779-1783. Men Under General Don Bernardo Galvez..." N.P.: Louisiana Society of the S.A.R., 1925

As far back as 14 Mar 1786, Firmin owned a large tract of land extending from Bayou Vermilion all the way to the forty arpent road east of Bayou Teche, part of a larger tract ninety-two arpents wide that had been originally granted by the Spanish government to Jean-Francois Ledee. He lived on this land, at the west end of the bridge over Bayou Teche, and he probably built "Breau's Bridge" for which the town is named. (St. Martin Parish Succession No. 38 and Suit No. 334)

In 1792 he bought a tract of four arpents by forty arpents depth on Bayou Vermilion from Joseph Broussard. He apparently disposed of this land sometime before his death since it is not included in the inventory filed in his succession.

On 24 Jul 1796 he bought from Pierre Broussard a tract of land ten by forty arpents on the east bank of Bayou Teche, increasing his holdings on the east side of the bayou to twenty arpents front. This conveyance stipulates that the land was bounded by Claude Martin on one side and by the vendee on the other. These boundaries indicate that the property purchased lay on the downstream side of Breau's original purchase.

At the time of his death, he still owned land at La Pointe as well as at "Grande Prairie" (present day Lafayette).

The marriage record of Agricole Breau dated 1 Jun 1813 recites that his deceased father, Firmin Breau, resided at La Pointe (present day Breaux Bridge) while he lived.

Prior to his death, he made a donation of his property to his six sons and six daughters. He made the donations to his daughters in the names of their husbands, as Louisiana law at the time prohibited married women from holding legal title to land separately from their husbands.

Pierre married Marguerite Breaux 13 Apr 1769, Donaldsonville, Ascension, Louisiana, United States. Marguerite (daughter of Jean-Baptiste Breaux and Rose Marie Landry) was born 6 Feb 1748, Pisiguit, Acadie, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 2 Sep 1815, Cecilia, St. Martin, Louisiana, United States; was buried 3 Sep 1815, Saint Martinville, St. Martin, Louisiana, United States.

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.

Alexis is the son of Francois Bro and Marie Comeau. 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

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.
