Lee,
To my knowledge of the Boudreau family, which is extensive, NONE of the Massachusetts Acadian Boudreau exiles ended up anywhere near Louisiana. Most returned to the Canadian Maritime or Quebec Province areas of Canada. If your ancestor was a prisoner in Halifax, then he was deported directly from there to Louisiana, and certainly not by way of New England in 1755.
Of the two Charles Boudrots whose family groups you found in Janet Jehn's Acadian Exiles in the Colonies, which are but mere guesses to the identities of the exiles in the Massachusetts Bay Colony circa 1755, the first Charles Boudreau with Madeleine Chiasson are my ancestors who ended up in St-Pierre et Miquelon, and later, on the Magdalen Islands, QC. with all their family accounted for. The second Charles Boudreau and Madeleine Clouâtre ended up in L'Acadie, QC. (near Lake Champlain, NY) with all their family accounted for. So neither of these two Charles Boudreau families are able to fit your equation whatsoever since BOTH of them remained in Canada with no children missing.
When I wrote to tell you that even Stephen White does not know the ancestry of Jean-Charles Boudreaux, your ancestor, this was his conclusion after a long and exhaustive search for documentation on his part to link Jean-Charles to the main body of the Boudrot family. If the world's expert in Acadian genealogy cannot find the link, why would one think we amateurs could? As Acadian descendants, due to the loss of our parish registers, ALL of us are going to have certain lines with dead ends, that unfortunately even lists of prisoners or census records will not yield the solutions we seek. Even I have some of these. All we can do is hope that other documents will emerge some day to shed light on these mysteries in our family trees.
Best regards, Dennis Boudreau
