      Charles departed LaRochelle, France, on 29 June 1749, on a transport in convoy with the Men-of-War ships Intrepide & Tigre with his wife Marie David and their son Francois, and arrived in Louisbourg, Acadia, on 23 July 1749.

      Charles was a "couvreur de toits", a roofer.

      "Endgame 1758" by A. J. B. Johnston pg 274/275 states that the first ship to leave Louisbourg after the siege of 1758, with French deportees, left Louisbourg on 9 August 1758. These first ships were to carry captured soldiers and sailors, before the civilians were to be sent away. The last boat left near the end of September 1758.
      Charles landed in LaRochelle, France and he was issued rations there until the end of January 1759 and he was in Rochefort by the beginning of March 1759. Ref: Port of La Rochelle & Rochefort records.

      It was stated in his marriage to Catherine Ytier that neither could sign the marriage certificate.
