Regarding the post above; 'I have a record of birth from College of Arms London where the father Charles Montboissier Beaufort Visconti de Canillac and Philippe François D’Albignac de Castelnau Bishop of Angouleme (now residing at Richmond in Surrey) we’re both compelled to quit France by a Decree of the Legislative Assembly of that country. It appears though that Charles may have returned to France by 1794'
We also have a record of of birth from College of Arms London where the father was named as Maurice Philippe de Montboissier Beaufort de Canillac'. The record is in the Herald's College Register and reads as:
"I certify that my first child Maurice Phillippe de Montboissier Beaufort de Canillac was born at Hampstead in the County of Middlesex on the twenty eighth day of October last and baptized the 30th of the same month by *Phillippe Francois D'Albignac de Castlenau, Bishop of Angouleme (now residing at Richmond in Surrey) who like myself was compelled to quit France by a Decree of the Legislative Assembly of that country."
Could this be the same birth referred to by mlynne239 above?
if so, we would dearly love to hear from mlynne239; if Charles de Montboissier Beaufort Canillac was the father of the above named child - it could clear up a long running mystery for our family.

Dates for the French Revolution: Jul 14, 1789 – Nov 9, 1799
"Non-Curing priests".
Pre-Revolutionary France was just about 100% Catholic. The Catholic Church owned sizable lands and wealth inside France. When they drafted the French Constitution, it "reorganized" the Catholic Church. Property was seized and sold with the state keeping the profits, clergy were made employees of the state, priests and bishops were to be elected by the people not appointed by Rome, The Pope refused to "approve" of this new Constitution. So the French legislature demanded all clergy in france had to swear a loyalty pledge to the New Constitution. Those that did not where referred to as "Non-Curing priests".
In August of 1792, while the french revolution was ongoing. The French Legislative Authority (The Constituent Assembly) told priests who had not taken an oath of loyalty to this French Constitution, to leave within 14 days or face deportation to French Guyana.
THE ASSEMBLY DEPORTS NON-JURING CLERGY (1792)
“The Legislative Assembly believes the unrest excited in the kingdom by priests who are not under oath is one of the major causes of danger to the fatherland. This comes at a time when all Frenchmen have need of unity, and of all their strength to drive back the external enemies, and must take all measures possible to ensure and guarantee peace within the nation… [The Assembly] decrees that there is a state of emergency…Article 1. All clergy liable to the oath prescribed by the law of December 26th 1790 and that of April 17th 1791 who have not sworn it, or who, after having sworn it, have retracted it… will be obliged to leave the borders of their district and department of residence within eight days, and the kingdom, within a fortnight. These different deadlines will be counted from the day of publication of the present decree. They will each appear before the Directory or the Council of their district of residence, to declare to it the foreign country into which they intend to withdraw, and a passport containing their declaration, their description, the route they must take and the time within which they must have left the kingdom will be delivered to them on the spot.
Article 2. Once the 14 day deadline stipulated above has expired, those clergy not under oath who have not obeyed the above provisions will be deported to French Guyana. The district Directories will have them arrested and taken from brigade to brigade to the nearest seaport…
Article 4. Any clergyman who remains within the kingdom after having made his declaration to leave and obtained a passport, or who returns after having left, will be condemned to a punishment often years’ detention…
Article 7. Excepted from the preceding provisions are the disabled, whose disability has been recorded by an officer of health who will be designated by the general council of the town of their place of residence, and whose certificate will be verified by the same general council. Also excepted are sexagenarians whose age will also be duly recorded…”

Originally I was thinking Thomas Paine. He was imprisoned and survived the reign of terror through a fluke. But upon researching it, he left France for America on his own terms. He was not required to by the French Legislature as stated in the question.
