- I, a descendant, ID: LYFN-S47, submit the following description:
Ancestors Roger (pronounced ?Row-ZHAY?) and Dugas (pronounced ?DO-Gah?) were one of the enduring stories of the Acadian Exodus. Their lives came together as neighbors; they were new colonists of Louisiana?s ?Acadian Coast of the Mississippi River,? presently Ascension Parish. They had a place on the right-descending (western), about 3 miles downstream of the present-day city of Donaldsonville, Louisiana. Roger was a single young man aged 21 years but Dugas was 27 and married with children.
Dugas was an Acadian born in New Brunswick on the St. John River. Dugas and Roger were unacquainted before the War. She was 14 years old when the trouble began. The Dugas family fled before the British Army to Isle St. Jean where they were captured and imprisoned at Halifax. It was in detention that she married another Acadian, Amable Robichaux. This union produced 3 children (known to the author) during captivity. They were released in 1763 and they sailed to Haiti. By 1764, they had a place on the right-descending (western) bank of Louisiana?s ?Acadian Coast of the Mississippi River,? presently Ascension Parish, about three miles downstream from the modern city of Donaldsonville. It was in Louisiana that Robichaux died in 1766.
According to "Ancestral File," database, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:1:MWN5-S8V : accessed 2015-07-01), entry for Joseph CAISSY DIT ROGER, ancestor Dugas, the widow robichaux, on 2 Nov 1769 entered into second marriage with a neighbor, Joseph Roger. Their union produced 6 known children between 1770 and 1771 on the ?Acadian Coast.? Around the time of the Louisiana Purchase (1803), Roger moved the family (that included the Robichaux children) to a place on Bayou Lafourche in present-day Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. They were enumerated in the 1810 U.S. census. Dugas died 3 Aug 1811 at the age of 72 years and was buried in the Catholic cemetery at present-day Thibodaux. Roger survived Dugas by 7 years and died on 18 Jul 1818 at the age of 73 years. He was also buried in the St. Joseph cemetery.
