The youngest son, Philippe kept only Mius as his surname and is the ancestor of the Mius family, now spelled Muise or Meuse, which was the real patronymic or family name.
He married two Micmac Indian wives, both of whom seem to have been given the name of Marie.
He established himself at first on the eastern shore of what is now the Bay of Barrington.
His oldest son Joseph is the father of the Acadien Mius family of today.
All of his other children integrated into the Micmac tribe leaving Joseph to take residence in Pobomcoup.
