However, in 1740, he was reinstated as notary and tax collector. In 1744, after he was accused again of negligence and of having been involved with his son-in-law Joseph Leblanc dit Le Maigre in aiding actions taken against the British, Bourg was removed from his position as notary. By 1752, he was living with Leblanc at Port-Toulouse in a small house. When Louisbourg was captured in 1758, Bourg fled to Richibucto, where he later died at the age of 89. (en) |
