Hello, My "Granger" family are also "Acadian" who were forced out of their homeland during the 1755 Deportation. Your timing is a little way off. The French Canadians did not come to the Kankakee area, like Bourbonnais, St. George, St. Anne, Petite Canada, Papineau until about as early as 1840 or 1850. My family arrived in St. George by 1847. During the deportation my family was deported to Massachusettes and remained there until perhaps up to the American Revolution when we we were told we could leave and go back home. My ancestors decided to go back to Acadia now Nova Scotia only to find out that their farms are now owned by British subjects. My Ancestors then migrated inland to Quebec and remained there until 1847 when there was a large exodus of French Canadians who heard of the rich farms lands in Illinois.
