Jean-Baptiste le jeune, eldest surviving son of Alexandre Broussard dit Beausoleil and Marguerite Thibodeau, born at Chepoudy or Petitcoudiac in c1731, married Anne Brun probably at Petitcoudiac in c1750. After his father was deported to South Carolina, Jean-Baptiste and his family followed his mother into exile in present-day southeastern New Brunswick, where he served in the Acadian resistance with his father and uncle. Jean-Baptiste and his family followed his parents into imprisonment in Nova Scotia in 1760 and to Louisiana in 1764-65. Jean-Baptiste was one of the eight signers of the Dauterive agreement in April 1765. He and Anne followed his kinsmen to Bayou Teche, where they had more children, and where, in his later years, Jean-Baptiste served as church warden. Jean-Baptiste was elected co-commandant of the Attakapas District in 1768 and served with René Trahan until 1770. Jean-Baptiste and Anne's only daughter Perpétué married into the Comeaux family. Jean-Baptiste remarried to Élisabeth-Augustine, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean-Baptiste Landry and widow of Joseph Dugas and Amand Landry, at Attakapas in September 1799; Jean-Baptiste was in his late 60s at the time of the wedding. Élisabeth was a native of Plouër, France, near St.-Malo, had come to Louisiana aboard La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, in 1785, and was in her late 30s at the time of the wedding. Jean Baptiste died at the home of son Jean in Lafayette Parish in October 1825. The priest who recorded his burial said that Jean Baptiste died "at 7:00 p.m. at age 98 years," but he was closer to 94. His succession record was filed at the Vermilionville courthouse in August 1834. Two of his three sons married, but this family line was perpetuated only by son Jean.
