[a1760.FTW]
In 1654, the English Major Sedgewick attacked Port Royal, despite the fact that he had no orders to do so and that France and England were at peace. The fort was surrendered after many days of a siege, and both Jacques , father, Robert, and
Jacques, son, participated in the battle.
Following the battle, Jacques, father, and Robert are forced to leave the colony and return to France, consistent with the terms of the surrender. Jacques and Jeanne Bourgeois remain, however, and by this time, they have a family consisting of
two daughters, Jeanne and Marie, and two sons, Charles and Germain.
The English did not leave a presence at Port Royal and in 1667, the colony is ceded to France, although the French do not take possession until 1670. In the interim, the Acadians governed themselves under a syndic ruled by Guillaume Trahan, the
father of Jeanne Bourgeois.
