Exile Destination: Southampton, England [via Virginia]
The 340 Acadians that arrived at Southampton
were put into barracks on the wharves.
La Rochette also visited Southampton on Jan.
18, 1763. These Acadians were more exposed to the English, as Southampton
was a summer retreat for the English nobility. They (such as General
Mordant and the Duke of York) would try to get the Acadians to renounce
France. They were used to people trying to trick them, so they refused
to even listen to La Rochette. Their numbers had gone from 340 when
they left Virginia to 219. Though all he was able to get was a bit
of their history, he told them that he was convinced of their loyalty to
France and understood their skepticism. When he left, the Acadians
got permission from their commissioner to send to delegates to talk to
Nivernois.
When the arrangements for resettlement finally
materialized, the surviving Acadians sailed on the king's corvette L'Ambition on May 16, 1763 to St. Malo, France. They were:

There is also another list with the same date
in LaRochette's papers. It states that Edward Noble made out the
list of 219 Acadians according to the orders of the Commissioner of the
Sick and Wounded. The list doesn't seem to be divided by families.
There's also a list of prisoners coming from the
Bristol prison to Southampton (same date) by Bruneau de LaSalle.
They were to board the L'Ambition. These don't appear to be Acadian.
Their origin is also given.

Malo
Jean Baptiste Lombard, Marseilles
Jacque Merignan, St. Tonge

There's another list of prisoners that were taken
from Bristol to Southampton to board the frigate La Dorothee. It's dated May 26, 1763. Again, it generally doesn't appear to be
Acadians.
