Let me start by saying I know only that there was a son of Etienne Bontron dit Major who was called Guillaume Etienne, that he was baptized in Montreal 8 July 1822, and that PRDH has no further information about him. If he was a soldier in 1763, it was during the Seven Years' War, and if this is Guillaume Etienne Bontron he was 41 at this death.
The Elie who died before 1768 was referred to by the name of Elie MAJOR, only.
As for a translation, I inserted it below.
Sorry I can't help more. What was your source for the passage below?

Very confused.
Guillaume Etienne died 9 years before in Louisiana. Is this a nephew
(son of "unknown" Elie?) see below?
Were prisioners of war recruited to serve at other locations?
Could I have a reference for your article?
Guillaume Etienne (Elie) soldat du 3e bataillon américan à New York.
Boutron est mort au siège de la Martinique en 1763 (Procès-verbaux)

Subject: [Q-R] ELIE Bontron Dit Major?
A footnote to a recent article I wrote about Etienne BONTRON dit MAJOR
at the
hospital in Québec CIty and about his family:. There is no Elie Boutron
/
Bontron.
LâAbbé Cyprian Tanguay, Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles
Canadiennes,
Ãditions Ãlysée, 1975 reprint in seven volumes, originally published
1871-1890.
Tanguayâs Volume 2, p. 489, adds a child, Elie, to the Boutron family,
with no
baptism date, and marries him to Françoise Sedilot, with no marriage
date. PRDH
reports that an Elie MAJOR is given as the deceased second husband of
Marie
Sedilote Montreuil [sic] at her marriage to Michel Cheneau on 16 May
1768 in
Québec City. (PRDH #212169) It has no other data concerning Elie.
Without any
further documentation for an Elie Bontron dit Major, Tanguayâs guess
must be
rejected, as must be his guess, also p. 489, about a remarriage for
Angélique
Proteau to a Pierre Germain in Québec City.
Marie Major, most certainly Marie-Angélique Proteau, said to be 84,
was buried
on 6 June 1767, at Sault-au-Récollet, which is part of the island of
Montréal on
which her children had settled. Her descendants in Sault-au-Récollet
also
consistently used the name Major.
PRDH #152642, #368222, #84181, and photocopies of the relevant acts.
I would be interested to know the source for a birth of Elie on May
01, 1723
in Montreal. Neither Jetté nor PRDH list him.
