Anselme, second son of Alexandre Broussard dit Beausoleil and Marguerite Thibodeau, born probably at Petitcoudiac in May 1734, followed his mother into exile in present-day southeastern New Brunswick, where he served with his father and uncle in the Acadian resistance, and followed his parents into imprisonment in Nova Scotia in 1760. Anselme married Madeleine-Marguerite, called Marguerite, Dugas at Georges Island, Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1760. They followed his parents to Louisiana in 1764-65. Marguerite was pregnant when they left Halifax, and a son was born to them on the long voyage to New Orleans. They followed Anselme's family to Bayou Teche but had no more children. Anselme and Marguerite, in fact, may have been undocumented victims of the epidemic that killed dozens of their fellow Teche valley Acadians during the summer and fall of 1765, leaving infant son Joseph-Théodore, their only child, to be raised by relatives. Joseph-Théodore, evidently raised by his uncle Jean-Baptiste Broussard, survived childhood, married twice, and created a vigorous family line.
