Unknown what happened to the family from the end of the war until 1778 when Etienne appears in Yamachiche Quebec.(Speculation is that Etienne's family went to St-Dominigue and parents and siblings perished) Etienne was recruited into the American Army from Quebec in 1776 and served on the American side throughout the American Revolution as a private.
