Hi Stanley: I have been meaning to ask you the following. Raphael Broussard, son of Beau Soleil, died before le Grande Derangement leaving our g...gg..g aunt Rose Leblanc Broussard a widow, as you noted in reply to Ethel, . Did Raphael die in the guerilla skirmishes led by his father Joseph Broussard de Beau Soleil? Or did he die with so many others at Miramichi? Do we know how he and his two children died?

Jehn, Janet ACADIAN EXILES IN THE COLONIES p. 251: Raphaele Brousare, his wife, two children [Raphael Broussard age 30 Rose Le Blanc age 29 Joseph age 7 Françoise age 6] Raphael and the two children died between 12 August 1763 and 14 August 1765 when Rose Le Blanc entered the Ursuline Convent in New Orleans.

Roger, As you know, Rose, a widow, had been in New Orleans "for several months" when she entered the Convent in August 1765. This indicates that she arrived in May 1765 with the 2nd group from Halifax who had also gone to St. Domingue. So Raphael and the children apparently died before May 1765.
