The newly married couple settled at Nappan near Minudie. In 1754 Pierre and his father were found at Chimougui with their families. With the fall of Fort Beausejour in 1755, they took refuge at Port Lajoie on ile Saint Jean. After the Fortress of Louisbourg was taken in 1758, they moved to Shippagan or its vicinity. In 1761, they were captured by Roderick MacKenzie's men who were taking prisoners to fort Beausejour. After the treaty was signed in 1763, they were freed and returned to settle at Nappan. In the Nappan census of 1770, the family appeared to be prospering well... Twenty years later, Pierre's situation was not so good. In the 1791 census, he was in his eighties and a widower: "A list of persons who have been relieved from the capitation tax: Peter Doiron, a poor decreped old man very poor, one shilling".

He likewise privately baptized the newborn children in the absence of the missionary. According to Placide Gaudet, Pierre went with his family to settle at Minudie. In 1751, the English intensified their presence with the construction of Fort Lawrence. Pierre moved with his family to au Lac near Fort Beausejour where we find him in the spring of 1755. after the capture of Fort Beausejour the following summer, he crossed over to ile Saint Jean to take refuge at Port Lajoie. Already around age 75 years old, we cannot say whether he died on the island and once again undertook the deportation of 1758 to the island of Saint Jean.(not sure of the trans of last sentence)

Notes:

There is a discrepancy in research info. as to whether this Jean married twice or his son, Jean, married twice. Bona Arsenault(vol.4, p.1374) indicates that the Jean from France married once to Marie Anne de Cano, but his son, Jean, married twice- once around 1698 to Marie Trahan, d/o Guillaume & Madeleine Brun of Port Royal and secondly around 1710 to Anne LeBlanc, d/o Andre & Marie Dugas. The Doiron book, the descendants of Pierre Doiron & Anne Forest, states that Jean from France married Marie Anne de Cano around 1669 AND Marie Trahan around 1692; and that son, Jean, married Anne LeBlanc in 1693(Jean having been born in 1678). Stephen White's article in Cahier 25 of La Societe Historique Acadienne(page 120) says that Jean Doiron from France married twice and gives the name of his first spouse as Marie Anne Canol, but says he had 19 children. Bona-vol.4,p.1374-b.dt, arrived in Acadia around 1671;lived in the parish of Sainte-Famille in Pisiguit;marr.info. M01-p.45-b&d dts,marr.info. J02-p.120-b.dt;marr.twice but only names one spouse.
