He is probably the Jean DUGA who contracted for the six-year cattle agreement with Antoine Bernard DAUTERIVE in New Orleans on 4 Apr 1765. The eight Acadian chiefs were led by Joseph BROUSSARD called Beausoleil.

He was at Ekoupag, at the river Saint-Jean (now New Brunswick) on the 1739 census, with his wife and 3 children, all of whom probably died at an early age [sic]. Several members of his family were settled in Louisiana. On p. 2474 (Louisiana) his entry adds about early death of children; plus Jean died at Saint-Martinville on 6 Sep 1765, soon after his wife, who had been buried at the same place on 18 Jul 1765.
