LE GRAND DÉRANGEMENT

Jean-Baptiste fought with older brothers Alexandre and Joseph dit Beausoleil in the Acadian resistance. When his brothers 'surrendered' to British forces at Fort Cumberland, formerly French Fort Beauséjour, in late 1759, Jean-Baptiste refused to join them and took his family to Québec. One account says that his wife, two children, and his mother-in-law died on the way to Canada. One of his daughters by his first wife remarried at Île Jesus, near Montréal, in June 1761. Jean-Baptiste died at Mascouche, near Montréal, in July 1770, in his late 60s--five years after his older brothers had died in faraway Louisiana.
