Stephen White in his article on the 37 families says that Claude is the son of Joseph Bourgeois and Anne LeBlanc. Joseph Bourgeois and Anne were transported to Massachusetts along with seven of their children. Joseph Bourgeois died in 1764 in Beverly, Massa chusetts. Claude Bourgeois, the son of Joseph, seems to have escaped the expulsion of 1755. Around 1760, he enters into a marriage contract with Anne Bourque, daughter of Jean Baptiste Bourque and Marie Theriault. Claude and Anne are found at Pisiguit during the 1760's.

T15-Bourgeois notes give two marriages for Claude Bourgeois-this is what I shall go by for now. I know she has collaborated with Lois Graham over this family. I shall check with Irene and Lois to see how they backup this info. B24-see Laurent a son of Laurent in genealogy section at back of book - another discrepency to examine. T15-says that he and his second wife settled at Aulac, N.B.;he died in 1769 and his widow remarried Paul Forest in 1771.
