On 5 September 1755, Pierre was imprisoned along with hundreds of other Acadian men at the St. Charles des Mines church in Grand-Pré. On a list of prisoners, he was said to live in the village de Gaspareau. No children or possessions were recorded for him on the list. He was required to prepare for deportation within 30 days. [1][2]
Pierre and Élisabeth were deported to Pennsylvania on 27 October 1755. They were recorded on a census in Pennsylvania in 1756. [3][2] Pierre died after that census.
