During the Acadian deportations, this family group were sent to Boston Massachusetts. Then moved to St.Jacques de l'Achigan in Quebec about 1767. With the passage of time, various members moved on. Some of them went to Montreal, Quebec, others to Ontario, while others to the United Sates. One branch of the family moved to Michigan and they spell their surname "LaBean". The reason they figure that the name changed, was that a census taker came through and spelled it that way and they have not changed it back.
