    "By 1763, twenty-one people went to Mobile, Alabama, on their way to Louisiana.[footnote] 99. These twenty-one people belonged to four families who have been identified by Stephen A. White and others as those of Jean-Baptiste Richard & Catherine Cormier, with their daughter Marie-Madeleine married to Jean-Baptiste Poirier and the latter's sister, Cécile Poirier married to Olivier Landry; the last family was headed by Catherine Cormier's brother, Jean-Baptiste Cormier & his wife Madeleine Richard. These are the first Acadians known to have reached Louisiana after the expulsion. They are said to have come from New York, but there is no doubt that they had been deported to Georgia.
