Morning, I am looking for verification of the following information: Les Robichaud D’Amérique, Dictionnaire Généalogique, Mgr. Donat Robichard, p. 841: Amable was the son of Joseph & Marie FOREST [White, DGFA-1, p. 1407]. He was born in Port Royal, Acadia on 10 Jan 1732. He first married Anastasie DUGAS [Jean & Marie Charlotte GAUDIN]. Additional Information: He was held as a prisoner at Halifax in 1763. We then find him on the list of the militiamen in Louisiana in 1765. Amable died in St-Jacques de Cabahannocer 7 Dec 1766. His widow remarried in St. James on the 2 Sep 1769 to Joseph Roger [dit Caissey] [ Michel & Rosalie COMEAU ]. In 1769, he occupied the Lot No 56 on bank of Mississippi with her children. She was shown then to be age 31 years with 3 children: Henry, 8 years; Baptist, 6 Years; and Louis Uzèbe, age 2 If this is correct, would anyone know how he arrived in Louisiana and when he would have married Anastasie DUGAS? Any help would be appreciated, Andy Scott

The information in [.....] is my personal interpretation of the research data. Jean Dugas[1], born 5 May 1712, son of Abraham Dugas and Marie- Madeleine Landry, married 1734 Marie-Charlotte Godin[2], born 1715, daughter of Gabriel Godin and Andrée-Angélique Jeanne (Jasne). In the 12 August 1763 Halifax list of prisoners[3] is found: Jean Dugas, his wife, 8 children [Jean Dugas age 51 Marie-Charlotte Godin age 48 François age 23 Marie age 18 Rose age 14 Charles age 13 Michel age 11 Athanase age 10 Théodore age 5 Child age ?] Also in the 12 August 1763 Halifax list of prisoners[4] is found: Amable Robicho, his wife, 3 children [Amable Robichaud age 31 Anastasie Dugas, age 26 Henry age 4 Jean-Baptiste age 1 Child age ?] Anastasie Dugas, born 28 November 1738 [?][5], daughter of Jean Dugas and Marie-Charlotte Godin, married 1 July 1758 [?] Amable Robichaud, born 10 January 1732 [?], son of Joseph Robichaud[6] and Marie Forest [7]. Jean Dugas and his family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard arriving in February 1765. On 4 April 1765, Jean signed the D’Autrive Compact[8]. Jean went to Attakapas and settled there where his wife, Marie-Charlotte Godin died 17 July 1765[9]. GAUDIN, Marie Charlotte wife of Jean Dugast d. 17 July 1765, bur. 18 July 1765 (SM Ch.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1, #6) GAUDIN, Marie Charlotte wife of Jean Duga d. 17 July 1765, bur. 18 July 1765 (SM Ch.: v. 1, p. 7 ) On 4 September 1765[10], Jean Dugas died leaving his children orphans. After his death, his orphans fled to Cabaanocé. DUGAS, Jean d. 4 September 1765, bur. 5 September 1765, date recorded: 6 September 1765. (SM. Ch.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1, # 19-A) DUGAS, Jean d. 4 September 1765, bur. 5 September 1765, date recorded: 6 September 1765. (SM. Ch.: v. 1, p, 11) In 9 April 1766 Cabaanocé Upper Coast census[11] (Judice’s Company) is found: François Dugas age 26 Rose, sister age 17 Charles age 16 nephew [sic brother] Michel age 14 [sic] nephew [sic brother] Athanase age 13 nephew [sic brother] Théodore age 8 nephew [sic brother] And next door is found: Aymable Robichaud age 36 Nastasie Dugas his wife age 27 Erié [Henry] son age 6 Jean-Baptiste son age 4 Marie daughter age 2 (Note: in another copy [French] of the census[12] is found: Nastasie Dugas, widow Robichaud age 27 Henry son age 6 Jean-Baptiste son age 6 Marie daughter age 2] And in a third copy [Spanish] of the census[13] is found: Amable Robichaud 1 militia man, 1 woman, 2 boys, 1 girl) It appears Amable Robichaud died around 9 April 1766. François Dugas married 28 June 1768[14] Marguerite Babin, born 1749, daughter of Joseph Babin[15] and Anne Theriot[16]. Her family had been imprisoned in Maryland. In 14 September 1769 Cabaanocé Upper Coast census[17] is found: Family # 53 Atanaze Dugas age 18 Family #54 François Dugas age 28 Margueritte Babain, wife age 20 Family #55 Charles Dugas age 19 Michel Dugas age 12 Théodore Dugas age 9 Roze Dugas age 20 Family #56 Nastazie Dugas widow Robichaud age 31 Henry Robichaud son age 8 Jean Baptiste son age 6 Louis Ozene [Usebe] son age 2 After the 14 September 1769 census and before 1 August 1770 Ascension Parish census, Anastasie Dugas married Joseph Caissie dit Roger, son of Michel Caissie[18] and Rosalie Comeau[19]. In 1 August 1770 Ascension Parish census[20] is found: Family #24 Joseph Roger age 22 Anastasie Dugas wife age 32 Henry Robichaux stepson age 8 Jean Baptiste Robichaux stepson age 7 Louis Robichaux stepson age 3 It is highly probable that Amable Robichaud and his wife came to Louisiana with his father-in-law Jean Dugas in the Joseph Broussard group that arrived in February 1765 and fled with the survivors of the family of Jean Dugas to Cabaanocé in the Fall of 1765.
