Before 1736, Pierre moved to Pobomcoup or Cape Sable. Pierre and his sons were true French Acadian heroes: In the fall of 1755 a British squadron out of Halifax were setting sail for warmer waters when Charles lawrence suggested that they call by at the Cape Sable area and to take in hand the French Acadian population to be found there. The Acadians at that place had been missed during the summer, as the English had been fully occupied at the collection spots of Annapolis Royal, Grand Pré, Pisituit and Ft Beauséjour. The Cape Sable Acadians were to be loaded on the returning transports and then, in turn, to land them at various points along the eastern coast of North America; of course, it went without saying, that these military men could do what they pleased with the fixed goods. Taking these poeple at Pobomcoup, however, was not to be so easy an affair as it had been time and time again through out Acadia: they were going to get a fight. Pierre and his sons languished in their later years at Cherbourg, France; much affected by "des fatigues" suffered from "la dernière guerre et fruite dans les bois." Guerilla warfare went on in the woods around Cape Sable during the autumn of 1755: but it could not have lasted long, and the British military soon achieved what they had set out to do.
