Continuing with what my research has indicated, the next five names on the list of holders of receipts for Canadian money are: 21) AUGUSTIN BERGERON 22) JEAN BPT. BERGERON 23) JOSEPH ARCENEAU 24) JEAN ARCENEAU 25) PIERRE ARCENEAU This is also a very closely knit family group. It is interesting to note that they settled in Attakapas, left several family members there in the cemetaries, but by the 1766 Attakapas census, there were no Bergerons or Arseneaus left in Attakapas, they had all fled to the settlements along the Mississippi River. 21) AUGUSTIN BERGERON Augustin Bergeron (White p. 122), born ca 1705, son of Barthélemy Bergeron and Geneviéve Serreau de Saint-Aubin, married ca 1730 (1729?) Marie Dugas (White p. 566), born ca 1711, daughter of Claude Dugas and his second wife, Marguerite Bourg. 12 August 1763 Halifax prisoners (Jehn p. 251): Augustin Bergeron, his wife, three children These may be: Augustin Bergeron age 58 Marie Dugas, wife age 52 Anne, daughter age 14 Elizabeth, daughter age 11? Marie Bergeron, age 11, orphan of Michel Bergeron (brother of Augustin) and Marie-Jeanne Hebert This family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, Augustin received a receipt for 387 livres in ordonnances and 2223 livres 10 sols in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). In late April 1765, they settled in Attakapas where on 30 August 1765, Augustin died (SM CH.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1, #17; SM CH.: v. 1, p.11- Hebert v. 1A pp. 52-53). His widow fled to Cabanocey where she is found living with her daughter, Geneviéve, widow of Jean-Baptiste D¹Amours in the 1766 Cabanocey census. Geneviéve Bergeron, widow d¹Amour age 36 Charles, son age 15 Baptiste, son age 12 Francois, son age 7 Ysidore, son age 3 Natasie, daughter age 8 Suzanne, daughter age 1 Marie Dugas, widow Bergeron (mother of Geneviéve) age 55 Anne, her daughter age 17 Anne, born ca 1749, daughter of Augustin Bergeron and Marie Dugas, married 16 July 1767 (Cabanocey Marriages) Pierre Hebert, born ca 1739, son of Joseph Hebert (White p. 828) and Anne Poirier (White p. 1335). In the 1769 Cabanocey census is found: Family #106 Pierre Hebert age 30 Marie (Anne) Bergeron, wife age 22 (sic) Francois, son age 1 Marie Dugas, widow Bergeron, mother-in-law age 59 Izidore Damons, nephew age 7 (orphan of Francois D¹Amours and Genevieve Bergeron who died before the 1769 census) There is no further record of Elizabeth so she may have died before coming to Louisiana. In 1766, Marie Bergeron, orphan of Michel Bergeron and Marie-Jeanne Hebert, may have been with Jean-Baptiste Bergeron, son of Augustin who is next on the list. See it for additional information on Marie. 22) JEAN BPT. BERGERON Jean-Baptiste Bergeron, born ca 1730, son of Augustin Bergeron (White p. 122) and Marie Dugas (White p. 566), married ca 1750 Catherine Caissy dit Roger, born ca 1736, daughter of Michel Caissy (White p. 310) and his first wife, Catherine Poirier (White p. 1337). On the 12 August 1763 prisoner list at Halifax is found (Jehn p. 249): Jean Bergeron, wife, four children These may be: Jean-Baptiste Bergeron age 33 Catherine Caissy, his wife age 27 Madeleine, daughter age 13 Jean-Baptiste, son age 9 Charles, son age 5 Joseph Caissy age 18, brother of Catherine Jean-Baptiste and his family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, Jean-Baptiste received a receipt for 700 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They then settled at Attakapas where on 31 May 1765, a daughter Marie-Anne was born. Unfortunately, she died on 31 August 1765 (SM CH.: Slave Baptism Register v. 1, p. 2, #4-A; SM CH.: Bapt. v. 1, p. 9- Hebert v. 1A pp.53-54). Then on 2 November 1765, Jean Baptiste was buried (SM CH.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1, #35; SM CH.: v. 1, p. 16- Hebert v. 1A p. 53). After Jean-Baptiste¹s death, his wife Catherine Caissy fled to Cabanocey where in the 1766 Cabanocey census is found: Catherine Quessy, widow Bergeron, age 30 Jean Baptiste, son 12 Charles, son age 10 (sic) Magdelaine, daughter age 16 Ossite, daughter (sic) age 14 Josephe Quessy, brother age 21 I think the Ossite Bergeron is Marie Bergeron, orphan of Michel Bergeron and Marie-Jeanne Hebert, who came to Louisiana with Augustin Bergeron, her uncle. The age is right and, outside of this one occurrence, I have found no records for an Ossite Bergeron, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Bergeron and Catherine Caissy. She would have gone to live with Jean-Baptiste after the death of Augustin. Marie Bergeron, orphan of Michel Bergeron and Marie-Jeanne Hebert, married 6 November 1767 (Cabanocey Marriages) Pierre Bourgeois, born ca 1747, son of Paul Bourgeois (White p. 262) and his first wife Marie-Josephe Brun (White p. 293). In the 1769 Cabanocey census is found: Family #94 Pierre Bourgeois age 29 (sic) Marie Bergeron, wife age 17 Pierre, son age 1 (mo.) Catherine Caissy, widow of Jean-Baptiste Bergeron, died before the 1769 census and her orphaned children were scattered among relatives. 1769 Cabanocey census: Family #12 Bonnaventure Gaudain age 46 Marguerite Bergeron, wife age 46 Bonnaventure, son age 14 Michel, son age 12 Théotiste, daughter age 19 Marie, daughter age 17 Jean-Baptiste Bergeron, nephew age 13 (sic)(orphan son of Jean-Baptiste and Catherine Caissy) 1769 Cabanocey census: Family #6 Pierre Arcenaux age 37 Anne Bergeron, wife age 28 Rozalie, daughter age 5 Marie Jeanne, daughter age 10 (mos.) Firmin Arcenaux, orphan age 15 Charles Bergeron, orphan age 11 (son of Jean-Baptiste and Catherine Caissy) Madeleine may have married 6 May 1768 (SLC, M2, 35- ADNO v. 2, p. 17) Estienne Renauld, a non-Acadian. I have found nothing further on her. 1769 Cabanocey census: Family #52 Joseph Roget, called Query age 23 23) JOSEPH ARCENEAU Joseph Arseneau, born ca 1740, son of Pierre Arseneau (White p. 27) and Marguerite Hebert (White p. 829), married ca 1763 Marie Bergeron, born ca 1745, daughter of Barthelemy Bergeron, fils (White p. 122) and Marguerite Dugas (White p. 226). 12 August 1763 Halifax prisoners (Jehn p. 249): Joseph Arcenos, his wife Joseph Arseneau age 23 Marie Bergeron age 18 Joseph and Marie came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, Joseph received a receipt for 201 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They then went to Attakapas and settled there, but fled to Cabanocey in late 1765 with the rest of the Bergeron/Arseneau clan. In the 1766 Cabanocey census is found: Joseph Arsenaud age 26 Marie Bergeron, wife age 23 (sic) A child, Marie-Francoise, was born 1 Nov 1766 (SLC, 85, 164 -ADNO v. 2, p. 5). Another, Marguerite, was born ca Feb1769. In the 1769 Cabanocey census is found: Family # 108 Joseph Arseneaux age 29 Marie Bergeron, wife age 25 Francoise, daughter age 3 Margueritte, daughter age 7 (mos.) 24) JEAN ARCENEAU Jean Arseneau, born ca 1728, son of Pierre Arseneau (White p. 27) and Marguerite Hebert (White p. 829), married ca 1750 Judith Bergeron, born ca 1734, daughter of Bathelemy Bergeron, fils. (White p. 122) and Marguerite Dugas (White p. 266). 12 August 1763 Halifax prisoners (Jehn p. 249): Jean Arcenos, his wife, four children Jean Arseneau age 35 Judith Bergeron age 29 Jean-Charles age 10 Joseph age 6 Guillaume age 5 Paul age 1 Jean and his family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, Jean received a receipt for 380 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They then went to Attakapas and settled there, but fled to Cabanocey in late 1765 with the rest of the Bergeron/Arseneau clan. In 1766 Cabanocey census is found: Jean Arsenaud age 38 Judith Bergeron, wife age 32 Jean-Charles, son age 14 Joseph, son age 12 (sic) Guillame, son age 8 Paul, son age 4 A daughter, Anne, was born ca February 1769.

About 1764, a daughter Rosalie was born. Pierre and his family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 4 April 1765, Pierre signed the D¹Auterive Compact and on 5 April 1765, Pierre received a receipt for 70 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They then went to Attakapas and settled there, but fled to Cabanocey in late 1765 with the rest of the Bergeron/Arseneau clan.

Thank you very much Roger for this information; my father was a Bergeron and my mother an Arsenault, the lines that settled in Quebec, just across Three Rivers, in St-Gregoire. I was aware of these long distant cousins in Louisiana on both sides of the family, but this additional information is very interesting, seeing these two families together even then. I am looking forward to the release of the S.A. White second dictionary next year since I understand that the first volume will include these two families (letters A and B).
