Exiles

Acadian (French Neutral) Exiles in Maryland

Although the British did state the intent of keeping Acadian families together, many of the ships sent to the English Colonies, especially to Virginia, were refused anchor and sent to various places in an effort to seperate the Acadians and Acadian families. This was done by means of a strategic British effort to prevent the Acadians from the possibility of reforming their cohesive culture. Many Acadians ended up in other destinations besides the ones that were intended. Many who wound up in England were held prisioner until the official end of the Deportation attempts.

Approximately 900 Acadians, including members of our Mélançon / Melanson line who were shipped to the Acadian Coast in 1765 & 1766, were originally exiled and deported to Maryland. Maryland had a dominant Catholic population and was named after Queen Mary, a Catholic Queen. The population in Maryland showed concern and indness to the Acadians (known in the English Colonies as the French Neutrals). The Maryland population allowed and supported their population of Acadian French Neutrals to hold jobs, cultivate land, maintain their culture and live in community, and supported their strong enduring faith by allowing them to build churches.

In 1756 many French neutrals, forcibly deprived of their property in Nova Scotia, or Acadia, reached Baltimore. Some were received into private homes and others were quartered in Mr. Fotterall's deserted house. At first they were supported by public levies authorized by law, but afterward supported themselves and were assimilated into the community.

Although some of the Acadian French Neutrals who were exiled here stayed in Maryland, most where among the first Acadian families to settle in Louisiana Acadian Coast in St. Jacques de Cabohannoce Parish during the 1765 & 1766 migration to Louisiana.
