The New York group arrived in 1764 but didn't go to Attakapas. Some men of the 1764 group showed up on Verret's Company in April 1766, but aren't on the 1766 or 1769 census of The Acadian Coast. They show up on the 1777 census. Roger Rozendal [with help from Elton Oubre] has been trying to find out more about Verret's Company and the 1766 and 1769 census.

I've sent an email to Letters to the Editor of The Advocate - below is the text. I also sent an email to Warren Perrin. Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com ***text of email sent to The Advocate*** Re: How Acadians came to Louisiana Published: Jan 29, 2006 RE: Correction to editorial: "War shaped nation, Louisiana" Jan. 18. Mr. Bouillon, Director of the Acadian Museum in Erath stated that "...The first group of Acadians arrived in Louisiana in February 1765, led by the guerrilla fighter Joseph Beausoleil Broussard..." The 1765 group led by Joseph Broussard was the first group to go to Attakapas, but the first group to arrive in Louisiana was a group of 20 who arrived in February 1764 from New York after a stay in Mobile, Alabama. For a complete report on the Arrival of the Acadians in Louisiana, see my Arrival of the Acadians page at http://www.thecajuns.com/acadians.htm on my web site dedicated to Cajun Genealogy, History and Culture.
