Jean Vincent Lejeune

Jean-Vincent, eldest son of Jean-Baptiste Lejeune and Marguerite Trahan, born probably at Pigiguit in c1749, followed his family into exile in Maryland. In January 1769, he and four of his younger siblings followed uncle Honoré Trahan and his family to Louisiana aboard the English vessel Britannia. After they finally reached Louisiana, Jean-Vincent may have decided to remain at Natchitoches while his relatives moved on to Acadian settlements along the river and on the western prairies
