On March 8, 1786, Jean (Landry) dit Alexis was one of the seventy Acadien heads of families, the founders of Arichat Parish , that thanked the lieutenant governor of Cape Breton, J.F.W. DesBarres, "for the promise of land concessions, the permission to construct a church and school, and the request for tax exemptions."[1]
Jean Landry dit Alexis, son of d’Alexis Landry and Marguerite Aucoin, was born c1749, at Pisiguit[citation needed] Her certainly was born in Nova Scotia. He lived with his brother Joseph and parents in Isle Royal in 1752.[2]

They were one of the families that left Isle Madame during the American War of Independence, finding refuge Chezzetcook. The settled at Fortune Bay on Ile St Jean lin late 1790.[citation needed]
He returned to Arichat before census of 1811 as he seems to be listed there with his brother Joseph.[3] Jean Baptiste would have been the 1 person over age 60. Since it is not two people, then Anne Pitre would have been deceased by then. Listed also are Maximilian Landry (Alexis), Joseph Landry (Alexis) with 1 over 60, possibly his brother?, Peter Landry (Alexis), David Landry (Alexis).
Jean Landry appears to have died between 1811 and 1813. [4]
