- New notes:
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.

name&dates-Bona A,vol.2,pp457,459-says that he died in 1760 in Mass. where he was deported with his family im1755. His widow and his children later settled at Saint Jacques de l'Achigan in Quebec. --DISCREPANCY B23-p.79-says that Claude married only once to Marie LeBlanc but it is known that there are errors in the text with regards to the Bourgeois' that settled around Minudie area. J03-p.123- gives two children of Claude Bourgeois and Anne dit Nanette Bourg;states that Claude died around 1769 and his widow remarried in 1771 to Paul Forest. 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.
