:At the time of the expulsion of the Acadians in 1755 Charles and Anneescaped deportation by fleeing to Isle St. Jean. They took refuge onthe island Miscou with their three children Madeline, age 7, Pierre, age 4 and Michel, age 1. While living in Ile St Jean the couple gave birth to the rest of their children.

National Archives, France</ref> :By 1772 some of their children were living in Bathurst, New Brunswickand by 1773 Charles, his wife Anne and the remainder of the family was living in Miscou, New Brunswick. Charles and Marie Poirier’s children are among the pioneer settlers of Bathurst, New Brunswick and Petit Rocher, New Brunswick. It is very possible that all the Doucet’s on the north short of New Brunswick today can trace their ancestry back to this couple. :Upon arrival at Nipisiguit ca. 1780, the Acadians had no other choicebut to settle north of the river, since the Government of Nova Scotiahad already granted to two individuals, and Captain Arthur Goold and William Allen, almost all of the land along the river. Acadians gave the name of St. Peter to their new location, the same as their old village Island of Prince Edward Island. According to historian Placide Gaudet, " the head of the small colony of Acadians who settled in Nipisiguit in 1782 was an old man named ... Charlitte Doucet, having four boys: Pierro, Charles, Michael and Joseph said Habitant. "Three of 13 were married and already had a family. :Charles Doucet said Charlitte Nipisiquit died 14 September 1798 at the age about 76 years. However, the mission noted that it was "90 yearsold ", which was about 14 years older than his age véritable. As there was no missionary living in Bathurst, it was not until the visit of the latter to the process funeral ceremonies . The wait will be three months, and it was only on 14 December (1798) that they had leagues.Father René Joyer wrote in the act of burial that three of his son,Pierre, Charles, and Michael said they had witnessed their father "inbed death and leads instead of common grave. :According to Ernestine Leblanc (Vol 1 No 3) [please profide a more complete citation so others may find it. What is the name of the volume?] "The Charles Doucet, came after the deportation of the Acadians in Miscou Island where he was taken prisoner by a British corvette. Upon his release, a month after he came to Nipisiguit where he died in 1798 four of his sons accompanied him on arrival at Nipisiguit. Michel, Pierre, Charles and Joseph.
