By 1701 he lived in Riviere des Canards in Les Mines with his wife and six girls.

He is assumed to have died of smallbox in Bristol, England between Sept 1755 and Sept 1756 along with other family members. They had been deported from Acadie by the British. [2]

Selon les recherches de Paul Delaney (´L'identification des Acadiens morts de la variole à Bristol en 1756´, SHA, vol XXX, 1999, p 16-21), les habitants du village des Comeau dans la paroisse de la Rivière-aux-Canards ont été déportés en Virginie et ensuite transportés à Bristol, en Angleterre. M. Delaney ne mentionne pas le vieux Jean Comeau dans son recueil, mais il faut croire que celui-ci serait décédé durant la même intervalle que ses enfants».

In Acadian Records 1707-1748, Jean Comeau & Catherine Babin are not noted as deceased in the following children's marriages: Pierre Comeau on 10 Oct 1729, Marguerite Comeau on 17 Oct 1718, Estienne Comeau on 3 Feb 1728, Claude Comeau on 11 Nov 1721, and Catherine Comeau on 1 Aug 1718. In Claude's and Catherine's marriage a parent of the spouse is noted as deceased so it wasn't that the priest wasn't noting dec'd status.

Is there a source for this death date? Nosorigines says he died after 1755 because he is on Winslow's list; however I do not see a Jean or Augustin Comeau on the list at Acadian-home. There are 2 Jean Baptiste Comeau's though. Nosorigines says that it is the elder Jean L'Aine[Comeau-13] who was buried Nov 1720 in Port Royal. Some vague sources say he died in Bristol during the exile.
