    Notes 
    • FACT: According to history, General James Murray learned of an act of "civil disobedience" on the part of Joseph Nadeau, a miller of the town of St Charles (Bellechasse), a small community located somewhat in land between Beaumont and St Michel.
      "May 20, 1760, Captain Knox, an officer of the English army wrote in his journal: 'a citizen of the parish of St Michel was hung yesterday, in front of his own home... suspected to have encouraged his fellow citizens to revolt and to have invited many militiamen in his company, being a militia captin, to join the French army.' This citizen of St Michel was namned Joseph Nadeau, a miller. He was especially accused of having supplied provisions to the French amry. In a moment of anger, General Murray, condemned him to death. The poor miller was hung on one of the blades of his wind-mill. His body remained there for three days, tossed about by the wind and storm."
