l'Achigan, Québec in 1776.

Subject: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Finally the Acadians to Nantucket

The following is from the book History of Nantucket by Alexander Starbuck.
"When the English government inhumanely exiled the Acadians from their home
in Nova Scotia and dispersed them among their Anglo-American Colonies
Nantucket had its assignmentof 33 to which one was subsequently added. In
the Archives of the Stateon page 174 vol. 23 (French Neutrals) is the
Statement of the Town on the expense of sustaining them from Feb. 8 , 1756
to Aug. 14 of the same year amounting to #*26.19.3. The division was
apprortioned according to the taxable wealth of the towns. On page 3 of Vol
24 is a list of the names and ages of those assigned to Nantucket. They
were in March 1758, as by the record:
