The family attempted to escape deportation by settling on Isle Saint-Jean (present-day Prince Edward Island). They didn't stay long on the Island because about 4 June 1756, according to researcher André-Carl Vachon, they boarded a vessel that departed Isle Saint-Jean for the port of Quebec, where they disembarked 2 weeks later. Antoine-Firmin was recorded traveling with his parents and his sister Marie-Josèphe. Marie's sister Cécile Babineau was also with them. [1]
He died 21 May 1810 in Trois-Rivières, Québec. [4]
