- Madeleine shows up on the Nov. 10, 1756, Census as a widow.
On August 24, 1763, Andrew Oliver (colonial administrator in the Province of Massachusetts Bay) wrote a letter to Jasper Mauduit (agent in London of the Province of Massachusetts Bay), about the high cost of keeping the prisoners and that it would be better to "not pay for enemies." Oliver wrote:
"these French People have received an invitation from Mr. (Charles) Robin, a French Protestant who hath obtained a grant from the Crown of a tract of land lying on the Bay or River Merrimeche, (Miramichi) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, to settle on the said Grant. Some of them may probably embrace this offer. They seem generally inclined to remove out of the Province. If this should be (the) case and we lose the benefits of their service now they might be made useful subjects; after that we have been at the charge of supporting them while they were looked upon as Enemies, the Province hath an equitable claim to a reimbursement (from the French king) at all Events."
In this letter, Oliver listed French heads of families in exile who wished to return to 'Old France' including Madeleine and her sons.
