In Acadie, the French farmer & fisherman had treated Massachusetts people with fairness. A fishing station had maintained itself for a century at Pubnico.
Massachusetts sailors and fishermen who were shipwrecked were protected by the Acadians. The exiled d'Entremonts reminded the General Court of this. The families Robichaud, Mius, and LeBlanc likewise reminded the Court of their former prosperity at Port Royal and the fact that they had furnished provisions and wood to the English garrisons.
Within four months of placement in various towns, the Acadians had to cope with hugh problems. They complained bitterly that their children were taken away from them and put into foster homes.
Some of the towns the Acadians were sent to were:
Walpole...Jacques d"Entremont
Gloucester...Dominique Doucet
Medway...Jacques Amirault born 1702
Bellingham...Jacques Amirault born 1732
Pembroke...Pierre Pellerin
Chelmford...Jean Landry
Oxford...Claude Benoit
Concord...Claude & Pierre LeBlanc & Charles Daigle
Worcester...Augustine LeBlanc
Andover...Jacques Hebert & Joseph Vincent
Waltham...Antoine Hebert
Cambridge...Louis Robichaud
Uxbridge...Stephen Robichaud
Westborough...Jean Simeon LeBlanc


By the summer of 1766, some eight hundred and ninety Acadians who shipped out of Boston elected to return to Nova Scotia; the others settled in Quebec, where later on some of their children went to Nova Scotia, into areas now part of New Brunswick.
Fewer than one hundred remained in Massachusetts. Most shipped out in a year or two, but Louis Robichaud and his people, satisfied with the conditions for eight more years, stayed on in Cambridge and then moved to Quebec.
