Notes from Irene (Terrio) Melanson: Joseph Comeau came to Minudie in 1768. He worked for J.F.W. DesBarres and lived in the Elysian Fields. On May 8,1769, demised by lease to a group of men including Joseph Comeau, 600 acres of Minudie upland and 100 acres of marsh to be dykes at DesBarres' cost. One-third of their produce was given to desBarres which later was increased to half. Joseph's name also appears on the list of names of those who worked on the great aboiteau.

Passage from page 95 of Beloved Acadia of My Ancestors by Yvon Leger:
"In 1755, the Comeau family was most probably part of the painful caravan of refugees from the Petitcodiac region who sought the protection of Commandeur de Boishébert at Gédaique (Grand-Digue) and Cocagne, before reaching the banks of the Miramichi River. Joseph Comeau thus avoided deportation towards the British colonies of the South. In 1761, however, he was among a contingent of Acadians taken by Captain McKenzie to Forts Beauséjour and Edward, where they were kept as captives till 1763 or 1764.
Among the documents preserved at the Federal Archives (the Deschamps Papers), we find several mentions of Joseph Comeau, his wife Anastasie and their son Mathurin. After their liberation, Joseph Comeau and many ex-prisoners from Fort Beauséjour settled in Menoudie, that ancient and once prosperous Acadian colony on the banks of Riviere-Hébert, in Nova Scotia. The Deschamps Papers also mention that Joseph Comeau, his son Mathurin, Joseph Leger, Mathurin's father-in-law, along with other Acadians were the very first lease-holders of Joseph Frederick DesBarres. Their main assignment was the maintenance and repair of the dikes or aboiteaux built by their forefathers in the previous century."

He worked for JFW DesBarres and lived in the Elysian Fields.

Residence:
He is widowed by this time.
