Alexis fut le premier membre de la famille Comeau à s'établir dans la région de Tracadie. Il est arrivé vers 1785 après de longs trajets qui l'amenèrent de Rivière-aux-Canards en Acadie jusqu'au fleuve St-Laurent, au bas de la rivière St-Jean, à Miramichi, et finalement à Tracadie. Il est même possible qu'Alexis fut déporté à une des colonies de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Alexis, un descendant de Pierre, est de la quatrième génération de Comeau au Canada.Selon Jean-Louis Comeau, son trajet est le suivant: Ste-Anne-de-la Pocatière en 1761 et 1765, Ekoupahog (sur la Rivière St-Jean) en 1767 et 1770, à Kénébécaissis en 1773 et 1774 et finalement établie à Tracadie (NB) vers 1785 suite à l'expulsion des français vivant sur les bords de la rivière St-Jean par les britaniques qui débuta en mai 1783.Enfants: Alexis aurait eu 6 enfants d'un premier lit (on n'en connait pas les noms).
