Isabelle Darois, oldest daughter of Jérôme and Marie, and Isabelle's second husband, Sylvain Breau, followed the Broussard party to the lower Mississippi Valley via St.-Domingue, today's Haiti. They reached New Orleans in February 1765 and followed the Broussard party across the Atchafalaya Basin to the Attakapas District, where they helped establish La Nouvelle-Acadie on the banks of Bayou Teche. Isabelle was 66 when she reached New Orleans; Sylvain was 52. They lasted only six months on the Teche. In October 1765, Isabelle and Sylvain died two days apart, victims of an epidemic that killed dozens of their fellow Acadians that spring, summer, and fall. Isabelle and Sylvain were buried au dernier camp d'en bas (at the camp lower down), near present-day Loreauville.
