In 1812, at a place called La Fleur, near Malpèque, lived many Acadians who were persecuted by Major Compton and a man called Green. In October 1812, Paul Arsenault and Jean-Baptiste Gallant decided to move to "Grand Ruisseau" now Mont-Carmel. The following year, others joined them. Among them were Firmin Gallant dit Paneau, Charles Richard, and Germain Poirier. [2]

Unfortunately not many dates are included but I presume the info is from parish records (the publication is in celebration of the parish's centennial). Interesting preamble of why Paul moved his family to the Mont Carmel Parish from Malpeque. https://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.76171/5
Arsenault-2415 and Arseneau-499 appear to represent the same person because: Same name. Professional genealogist Marcel Landry has him married to both Anne Chiasson and Claire Brun. Same parents. Birth date and location are different (Landry doesn't specify either and Reader uses 1767). Both profiles agree he died in St. Edward Island. Neither profile has adequate sources for the facts.
