Lucie, This is interesting. Most of the French in MS [Ft. Toulouse] and those in Mobile moved into Louisiana [Opelousas] in 1764. This could explain how some Acadians who weren't with the 1765 Broussard group got to Opelousas.

Also, the phrase "more of the Acadians" indicate that there were others who had left Georgia - perhaps they went to St. Domingue.

Further to what Stanley wrote: The Alabamans from Fort Toulouse came to New Orleans in January or early February 1764 aboard the ship "Salomon". In ADNOSR Vol. 2 is found: p.97 DOUSSES [DOUCET] Joseph (Pierre, surnamed Maurice, and Marie Pagot), b. Feb 9, 1764, bn . Sept. 24, 1763, s. Joseph Silvestre and Genevieve Dauphines, both from Alabama (SLC, B5, 38) By early March 1764, the Alabamans had settled on the west bank of Bayou Courtableu near present day Washington. In DOBR Vol. 1 is found: p. 170 FONTENOT Jean Baptiste (Pierre & Louise Doucette) bn. 6 March 1764, bt. 16 March 1764, spo. Baptiste Fontenot & Marie Jeanne Brignac, formerly of Alabama, (PCP-1, 258 also PCP-3, 155) [Recorded in St. Francois Catholic Church of Pointe Coupee]. In the 25 April 1766 census of Opelousas, the French Creoles, the Alabamans, and the Acadians were all listed separately as distinct communities: ANTIGUOS OPELOUSSES French Creoles 106 individuals NUEVOS OPELOUSSES Costa de los Alibamans 57 individuals Acadianos 33 individuals By the 1766 census, two Acadian women had married French Creoles and were living in Old Opelousas Madeleine Saulnier married Joseph Chretien Anastasie Guenard married Amable Bertrand The names listed in the Alabaman census are: Fontenau, Labeau, Bissan, Brignac, Henry, Doucet. and Lefleur Of the 17 families listed as Acadians in the census of 1766, I have been able to trace 13 to imprisonment at Halifax in 1763, 3 to imprisonment at Fort Edward in 1762 and Halifax in 1763, and 1 to imprisonment in Fort Edward in 1762. Though information is sparse, the indications are that the Opelousas Acadians came directly to Louisiana from Halifax arriving on or just before May 16, 1765 and being sent directly to Opelousas shortly thereafter. None of the Opelousas Acadians came from Fort Toulouse. I also have found no records that would indicate any of the Opelousas Acadians were in Santo Domingue. I also have found nothing that would indicate any of the Opelousas Acadians came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard. I would appreciate comments on my conclusions. Roger A.
