Wood in A guide to the Acadians in Maryland in the 18th & 19th Centuries
Supplement has a fourth group which came first.

Arrived in LA Sep 1766; 224 mostly from Oxford & Snowhill; Settled
mostly in Cabanocey; Baltimore residents' complaint of 2 April 1767
suggests that this group had left MD about 8 months before.(Migration pg
1-2)
