'Claude Dugas and his wife received an order to live in Sturbridge, but their children would be separated from them; Marguerite, Madeleine and Felecite were sent to Oxford. The two other daughters; Elizabeth (Cecile) and Hannah (Anne) were sent to Dudley, while the two sons, Charles and Joseph, left for Charlton. Charles Belliveau (Claude's son-in law) and his wife and their young children received an order to go to Leicester, but the second child was sent to Spencer. In the spring or summer of 1767, however despite anguish and misfortune, Claude Dugas succeeded in reaching the Province of Quebec with the whole family, except for Charles.'
