| Notes |
- La Société Historique Acadienne Cahier Vol 23 No 1 1992 Janvier-Mars contains Stephen A. White's article "Les fondateurs de la paroisse d'Arichat, Cap-Breton" briefly describing each of the 70 heads of families who signed a March 8 1786 letter to J.F.W. DesBarres, Lieutenant Governor of Cape Breton. This letter thanked J.F.W. DesBarres for the promise of land concessions, the permission to construct a church and school, and the request for tax exemptions. Following is an English translation of Stephen A. White's description by Lena Samson.
Eustache Marchand, son of Jean Marchand and Geneviève Pouget, born at Port Toulouse about 1750, married about 1775, Charlotte Boudrot, daughter of Joseph Boudrot and Judith Fougère. Eustache belonged to another family who evaded the British soldiers after the fall of Louisbourg. The Marchands were at L'Ardoise, when L’Abbe Bailly visited that village in 1771, but it seems that he settled in Upper Arichat, near Rocky Bay, soon after his marriage, where he was listed on the census of 1811 and 1813 as seaman and fisherman.
