They have made a clearing on it where they have sown ten bushels of wheat, two bushels of peas, and one bushel of barley, and they have fallow land for the sowing of twenty bushels.
Paul s'est établi avec son épouse Anne Bernard, fille de Joseph Bernard et de Marie-Josèphe Gaudet, à l'Î.-P.-É. Tous les enfants de ces derniers sont restés à l'île, à l'exception de Joseph dit Joson, qui a convolé vers 1783 avec Anne-Marie Goguen, fille de Joseph Guéguen et d'Anne Arsenault. Selon Placide Gaudet, ce Joseph Arsenault s'est noyé à Cocagne à la chasse aux loups-marins. Sa veuve s'est remariée vers 1809 à Jean-Baptiste Gallant, veuf d'Hélène Richard.
