Notes from Acadian-Cajun.com:
250 Acadians arrived at Falmouth (on the coast of Cornwall) at the end of June.
The parish of Saint Gluvias, Penryn, has a register that includes 67 Acadian burials. The original is at the Cornwall County Record Office, though the CEA has a copy. A guide to the records was published in Cahier 32, Societe Historique Acadienne, V. 4, No. 2, 1971 in "Le sejour des Acadiens en Angleterre et leurs traces dans les archives britanniques" by Regis S. Brun. Also see Cahier 30 of that publication (V. 4, No. 4, 1972) for "The Acadian Exiles in England" by Dorothy Winter.
La Rochette brought informal word of France's interest in the Acadians to Falmouth on Jan. 25, 1763. He found 159 Acadians living in poverty. The commissioner had stopped their financial assistance (which was the same as in Liverpool) in November. Those not working a trade borrowed money, while widows and orphans begged. Instead of located in a single area, these Acadians were lodged around the area in homes of citizens. This led to a number of younger members becoming apprentices to the English. No doubt this also led to Acadian/English relationships as well. Needless to say, the Acadians were skeptical of his message and wondered if he was a spy.
Eventually, they decided to go to France and the surviving Acadians sailed to Morlaix, France on the La Fauvette, captained by Gouran. Those boarding the ship on May 26, 1763 were:
28 - Jean Baptiste Daigre
Marguerite Daigre
Simon Daigre
Marie Daigre
Marie Blanche Daigre

Notes:

Jean-Baptiste DAIGRE (c1740-1790s; Olivier, ?)

Jean-Baptiste Daigre, born in Acadia in c1740, married Marie-Claudine, daughter of Guillaume Valet of Kemperlain, Val, France, in France in c1783. He was a plowman in the mother country. He and Marie-Claudine came to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785, with their 1-year-old son Jean-René, who either died at sea or soon after the family reached the colony. Jean-Baptiste and Marie-Claudine followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to Baton Rouge, where Jean-Baptiste died by March 1795, when his wife remarried there to a French Canadian; Jean-Baptiste would have been in his mid-50s that year. His only son died an infant, and he and his wife had no more children in the colony, so when Jean-Baptiste died, his line of the family died with him.
