:Wars between France and Britian impacted the Acadians with the King William's War in 1688 and the Queen Anne's War in 1702. In 1713 the British and French signed the Treaty of Utrecht which put the Acadians atthe mercy of the British. The Nova Scotia part of Acadia and Newfoundland were turned over to the English. Ile St. Jean, Ile Royale, and part of New Brunswick, which had not been developed, were still in the hands of France. Many Acadians who remained in Port Royal found themselves under the rule of the British. By 1749 a plan emerged to ethnically cleanse Nova Scotia of its French people -- with people dispersed in1755 -1763.
His children and grandchildren would be victims of the "Great Dispersion."≤ref name=Gray/>
