Acadians Who Found Refuge in Louisiana, February 1764-early 1800s
[luh-BLONH]
ACADIA
Daniel LeBlanc, born probably at Martaize in the Loudon region of France in c1626, was a young farmer when he arrived at Port-Royal in c1645, so he was among the earliest settlers in the colony. Five years later, in c1650, he married Francoise, a young widow and the older daughter of Jean Gaudet. They "settled on the north bank of the Port-Royal River (today the Annapolis River), to the northeast of the marsh at Bélisle, about nine miles above the fort at Port-Royal, and a half mile below the chapel of Saint-Laurent, where he died between the years 1693-98." Daniel and Francoise had seven children, including six sons, all born at Port-Royal, five of whom created families of their own. After they took wives, the four older LeBlanc sons moved to the Minas area, where they created a large extended family. The youngest son remained on his father's lands near Port-Royal. (According to family genealogist Lucie LeBlanc Consentino: "... as was the usual way for the Acadians, the youngest son inherited the father’s land."):
Oldest son Jacques, born in c1651, married Catherine, daughter of Antoine Hébert, at Port-Royal in c1673. By the early 1690s they had moved to the Minas Basin, where Jacques died after May 1731, age 80. He and Catherine had 13 children, including six sons who married into the Richard, Boudrot, and Landry families. Three of Jacques's daughters married Cormier brothers from Chignecto.
Étienne, born in c1656, never married. He died by 1686, in his 20s.
René, born in c1657, married Anne, daughter of Jacques Bourgeois, at Port-Royal in c1678. They, too, settled at Minas, where René died in January 1734, age 80. He and Anne had 10 children, including six sons who married into the Landry, Hébert, Melanson, Thébeau, Thériot, Mailloux, and Dugas families.
André, born in c1659, married Marie, daughter of Abraham Dugas, at Port-Royal in c1683. André followed his older brothers to the Minas area, where he died in May 1743, age 86. He fathered 10 children also, including seven sons who married into the Bourgeois, Boudrot, Labauve, Granger, and Flan families. One of André's daughters married a Cormier from Chignecto.
Antoine, born in c1662, married Marie, another daughter of Jacques Bourgeois, at Port-Royal in c1681 and also followed his older brothers to the Minas Basin, where he died before July 1730. He and Marie had 10 children also, including seven sons who married into the Landry, Gautrot, Dupuis, Bourg, and Thériot families.
Youngest son Pierre, born in c1664, married first to Marie, daughter of Claude Thériot, at Port-Royal in c1684, then to Madeleine, daughter of Francois Bourg, at Port-Royal in c1697. Pierre and his wives remained in the Port-Royal area. His first wife gave him only one child, a son named Pierre. His second wife gave him eight more children, including five sons who married into the Bourgeois, Dupuis, Thériot, Richard, and Girouard families.
`
Another LeBlanc family lived in Acadia before Le Grand Dérangement, but, unlike that of Daniel's, it did not survive past two generations. Pierre dit Jasmin, son of Jacques LeBlanc and Marthe Mayare of Ozan, Auvergne, France, was probably no kin to Daniel. He came to Acadia as a sergeant in the company of the Sieur de Gannes, détachement de la Marine, and was stationed at Port-Royal during Queen Anne's War. In October 1708, he married Marie, daughter of Jacques Triel dit LaPierrière and Marie Savoie, at Port-Royal. They had a single child, a son named Francois-Pierre, who was born at Port-Royal in July 1709. Pierre dit Jasmin helped defend the Acadian capital when New England forces attacked in the fall of 1710. Evidently the victorious New Englanders took Pierre dit Jasmin, Marie, and little Francois-Pierre to Boston, where Marie died in 1711; she was only 21 years old. The British allowed Pierre dit Jasmin to return to Port-Royal, where he remarried to Catherine, daughter of Philippe Pinet of Minas, in October 1712. They settled at Minas. Catherine gave the sergeant two more children, a daughter, Catherine, born in c1714 probably at Minas, and a child whose gender has been lost to history, who was born and died at Minas between 1719 and 1724. In the latter year, a census at Minas revealed that both Pierre dit Jasmin and son Francois-Pierre were dead. If Francois-Pierre had lived to 1724, he would have died at age 15, too young to have married and started a family of his own, so his line of the family died with him.

By 1755, the descendants of Daniel LeBlanc, on the other hand, had created the largest family in Acadia. ...
LE GRAND DÉRANGEMENT
Le Grand Dérangement of the 1750s scattered this huge family to the winds:
Since most of the LeBlancs lived in the Minas settlements, dozens of them fell into the hands of the British in the fall of 1755 and ended up on ships bound for Maryland, Virginia, and other English colonies down the Atlantic seaboard. ...
The LeBlancs who were deported to Virginia endured a fate worse than most of the other refugees. The Virginia governor, Robert Dinwiddie, refused to allow the 1,500 Acadians sent to him to remain in the colony. Hundreds of the exiles died on the filthy, crowded ships anchored in Hampton Roads while the Virginia authorities pondered their fate. A few Acadians were allowed to come ashore at various James River settlements, but they were watched closely. When some of them began to fraternize with African slaves, the Virginians returned them to the transports, where they languished with the others. A hand full of sturdy young Acadians managed to slip off the vessels and trek overland through fields and forests and across the mountains, back to French Canada. But most of them remained on the terrible ships, and more of them died. Finally, in the spring of 1756, Governor Dinwiddie and Virginia's House of Burgesses made their decision ... the Acadians must go! In May, the first shipment of Acadians left for England, and in two weeks all of them had gone--299 to Bristol, 250 to Falmouth, 340 to Southampton, and 336 to Liverpool--1,225 of the original 1,500. Their ordeal only worsened in the English ports, where they were treated like incarcerated prisoners. In 1763, after the war ended, the French government consented to repatriate the survivors to France. ...
LOUISIANA: WESTERN SETTLEMENTS
LeBlancs were among the first families of Acadia and some of the earliest Acadians to find refuge in Louisiana. The first descendants of Daniel LeBlanc to emigrate to the colony reached New Orleans in February 1765 with the party from Halifax via St.-Domingue led by Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil. After a brief stay in the city, during which one of them exchanged his Canadian card money for Louisiana funds, they followed the Broussards to the Atakapas District, where they helped created La Nouvelle-Acadie on the banks of Bayou Teche:
Simon LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 28, came with wife Catherine Thibodeau, age unrecorded, and three children--Cosme or Côme, age 5, Marie-Louise, age 3, and Marie-Angélique, a newborn. They baptized their daughters at New Orleans within days of reaching the city.
René LeBlanc, fils, of Grand-Pré, age 15, Simon's younger brother, probably came with his brother.
Isabelle LeBlanc, age unrecorded, came with husband Victor Broussard. She died at Atakapas in October 1765, probably a victim of the mysterious epidemic that swept through the Teche valley settlements that summer and fall.
Rose LeBlanc, age unrecorded, widow of Raphaël Broussard, came to Louisiana alone. She did not go to the Bayou Teche valley with her husband's family but remained at New Orleans, where she became a nun--Louisiana's first Acadian religious.
Descendants of Simon LEBLANC (1736/37-1815)
Simon, elder son of René LeBlanc and Anne Thériot, born at Grand-Pré in either late 1736 or early 1737, escaped the British roundup at Minas in the fall of 1755 and took refuge on the Gulf of St. Lawrence shore. He married fellow Acadian Catherine Thibodeau in c1758. They ended up as prisoners of war at Halifax, where British officials counted them and three children in August 1763. In late 1764, they left Halifax with the party led by Catherine's kinsman, Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil, and reached Louisiana via Cap-Français, St.-Domingue, in February 1765. Daughter Marie-Angélique, born either aboard ship or at Cap-Français on New Year's Day 1765, was baptized at New Orleans on 20 February 1765, soon after they reached the city. In April, they followed the Broussards to the Bayou Teche valley. Catherine died at Atakapas the following November, perhaps a victim of the mysterious epidemic that killed dozens of Teche Valley Acadians that summer and fall. Daughter Marie-Angélique also may have perished in the epidemic. Spanish officials counted Simon and son Cosme in the La Manque area of the Atakapas District in April 1766. Simon remarried to Marguerite, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Guilbeau dit L'Officier, at Atakapas in c1768. They settled near Carencro, at the northern edge of the district, and at La Grande Pointe on upper Bayou Teche. Their daughters married into the Bara, Comeaux, and St. Julien families. Simon died "at his home" at La Pointe in December 1815; the priest who recorded his burial said that Simon was 82 years old when he died, but he was closer to 79; his succession record was filed at the St. Martinville courthouse the following August. Most of his eight sons created families of their own and added substantially to the number of LeBlancs on the western prairies. They settled in a number of communities in the Atakapas District. Most of them remained at Grand Pointe, but one moved down bayou to Fausse Pointe, one settled at Carencro, and another along the Vermilion.

A few LeBlancs who came to Louisiana from France in 1785 settled on the western prairies, but no family line came of it:
Marie-Madeleine, called Madeleine, LeBlanc, age 54, widow of Pierre-Isidore Trahan, came to Louisiana with five children, ages 21 to 9, aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, and went at first to Manchac on the river below Baton Rouge. She followed at least two of her children to the prairies and died at Carencro in November 1804, in her early 70s.
Jean-Baptiste LeBlanc of Rivière-aux-Canards, came to Louisiana with wife Élisabeth or Isabelle, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Aucoin, and a 19-year-old Semer niece aboard L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships from France. The niece married a Frenchman from Marseille at New Orleans in January 1786. Jean-Baptiste and Élisabeth went to San Bernardo, on the river below New Orleans. Jean-Baptiste died by August 1797, when Élisabeth remarried at Opelousas. One wonders if they had any children, and if Jean-Baptiste had died on the river before his widow moved to Opelousas.
~
During the early antebellum period, more LeBlancs from the river, and some from Bayou Lafourche, moved to the western prairies and added substantially to that center of family settlement:
Marie-Josèphe LeBlanc, widow of Athanase Breaux, died at a daughter's home in Lafayette Parish in November 1825, in her early 80s; her succession record was filed at the Vermilionville courthouse in December.
Descendants of Gilles LEBLANC (c1757-1832)
Gilles, younger son of Joseph LeBlanc and Élisabeth or Isabelle Gaudet, born probably on the Gulf of St. Lawrence shore in c1757, followed his family from Halifax via St.-Domingue to Louisiana in 1765. He settled with them at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where he married Théotiste, daughter of fellow Acadian Bonaventure Godin dit Bellefontaine of Rivière St.-Jean, in February 1781. Their daughter married into the Bernard and Dugas families and settled on the western prairies. Gilles remarried to distant cousin Marine, daughter of Désiré LeBlanc, and widow of Joseph Babin dit Dios, at Ascension on the river in December 1783. They were visiting New Orleans in November 1791 when a daughter was baptized there. In the 1790s or early 1800s, they moved from the river to the Bayou Teche valley and settled at Fausse Pointe. Marine died at Fausse Pointe in September 1811, in her mid-50s; her succession record was filed at the St. Martinville courthouse the following November. Gilles remarried again--his third marriage--to Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Pierre Bourgeois of St.-Jacques and widow of Auguste Gravois, at the St. Martinville church, St. Martin Parish, in September 1816; he was in his late 50s. All three of his sons lived in St. James Parish but settled at Fausse Pointe, and his daughter also settled on the western prairies; nevertheless, Gilles returned to the river in his old age. He died in St. James Parish in September 1832; he was 74 years old.

Oldest son Désiré, by his first wife, born probably on the river in the early 1780s, married distant cousin Marcellite, daughter of Joseph LeBlanc, at St. James on the river in May 1807 and settled at Fausse Pointe by the late 1810s. Their son Désiré, fils was born in St. James Parish in June 1808 but may have died there in June 1809, Léon Sylvère, called Sylvère, was born in St. James Parish in March 1812 but died at age 12 in July 1824, Egidins or Jules Lessin was born probably at Fausse Pointe in February 1817, a son, name unrecorded, died at birth at his parents' home at Fausse Pointe in March 1821, Jean was born in August 1822, and Anatole in December 1827.

They, too, settled at Fausse Pointe as well as at St. James. Their son Edmond Gilles was born in St. James Parish in January 1808. They also had a son named Nicolas, fils. Nicolas, père died in St. James Parish in April 1814; he was only "age about 30 yrs." old; his succession record was filed at the St. Martinville courthouse the following June, so he must have still owned property there. Evidently his widow took their minor children back to the Teche; daughter Marie Ponponne died at age 20 "at her mother's home at la fausse pointe" in November 1829. Nicolas dit Colin's sons remained on the Teche.
2a
Nicolas, fils married distant cousin Marie Helina, daughter of French Creole Godefroi Prevost or Provost, at the St. Martinville church, St. Martin Parish, in January 1833; Marie's mother was a LeBlanc. Their son Paulin Constant died near New Iberia, age 8 months, in September 1840. ...

Their daughters married into the Boutte, Durand, and Montagne families. Rosémond died "at his home at la fausse pointe" in February 1825; the priest who recorded his burial said that Rosémond was "age about 30 yrs." when he died, but he was closer to 36; his succession record was filed at the St. Martinville courthouse later that month.
3a
Rosémond, fils, by his second wife, married Virginie, daughter of French Creole Louis Langlinais or Langlinois, at the Vermilionville church, Lafayette Parish, in February 1837; Virginie's mother was a Boudreaux.

3b
Édouard, by his second wife, married Hortiste, daughter of French Creole Ursin Patin, at the Vermilionville church, Lafayette Parish, in May 1838; Hortiste's mother was a Guidry. Édouard's succession record was filed at the Vermilionville courthouse in September 1838; he would have turned 25 that year. He probably fathered no sons, so his line of the family would have died with him.

Jules, by his second wife, married Émilie, 18-year-old daughter of fellow Acadian Don Louis Boudreaux, at the Vermilionville church, Lafayette Parish, in May 1843. ...

They moved to Fausse Pointe on Bayou Teche by the early 1810s. Their daughter married into the Dugas family. Only two of their many sons married, and only one of them had sons of his own.
1
Oldest son Marcellin, born at Manchac on the river in July 1799, died at his parents' home at Fausse Pointe in October 1822. The priest who recorded his burial said that Marcellin died "at age about 20 years," but he was 23. He probably did not marry.
2
Jacques-Nicolas, called Jacques-Colin and Colin, born at Manchac in August 1803, married Marcellite Arthémise, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Babin of La Pointe on upper Bayou Teche, at the St. Martinville church, St. Martin Parish, in August 1823.

Jean Charles, born in St. Martin Parish in August 1839, ...
Other LEBLANCs on the Western Prairies
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link some LeBlancs in the western parishes with known lines of the family there:
Donat LeBlanc married Dorothée Comeaux and settled at Atakapas by the late 1790s.
Joseph LeBlanc "died at the home of Michel Prudhomme in the Bois de Mallet area at age 48 years" in October 1818. One wonders if Joseph was Acadian.

Jean LeBlanc married Denise Frugé in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in January 1836. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not bother to give the couples' parents' names. Their son Louis was baptized at the Vermilionville church, Lafayette Parish, age 9 months, in December 1837.
Carmelite LeBlanc's son Zéolin was baptized at the Vermilionville church Lafayette Parish, age 9 months, in July 1836, and Joseph at age 6 months in August 1839. The priest who recorded the boys' baptisms did not give the father's name or even Carmelite's parents' names.
Louis LeBlanc married Marie Caroline Racca probably in Lafayette Parish in the mid- or late 1830s. Their son Valière was baptized at the Vermilionville church, Lafayette Parish, age 2 months, in September 1838, and Noël was born in December 1840.
Clementine LeBlaugh, as the parish clerk spelled her name, married Joseph Guideroz in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in July 1838. The recording clerk did not bother to give the couples' parents' names. One wonders if Clementine was a LeBlanc much less an Acadian.
Placide LeBlanc married Odile Leleux in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in July 1843. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couples' parents' names.
Onésime LeBlanc married Marie Léocadie Landry in a civil ceremony in Lafayette Parish in August 1843. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couples' parents' names.

LOUISIANA: RIVER SETTLEMENTS
Most of the LeBlancs who came to Louisiana from Halifax via St.-Domingue in 1765 were not part of the Broussard dit Beausoleil party. These LeBlancs came with later parties and settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques on the river above New Orleans where 20 Acadians had settled the year before. So many Acadians settled there that the area soon became known as the Acadian Coast:
Joseph LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 45, came with wife Isabelle Gaudet of Port Royal, age 46, and five children--Anne, age 17, Joseph, fils, age 15, Isabelle, age 11, and Gilles, age 8. They had no more children in Louisiana. Their daughters married into the Duhon and LeBlanc families. Daughter Isabelle, widow of distant cousin Simon LeBlanc, died in Ascension Parish in May 1815, in her early 60s. Daughter Anne followed her husband to upper Bayou Lafourche and died there in her early 80s. Son Gilles married twice on the river but in his final days settled on Bayou Teche. Joseph, fils remained on the river. Joseph, père died at St. James in July 1805; he was 85 years old and a widower.
Étienne LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 43, older brother of Simon and René, fils of Atakapas, came with wife Élisabeth or Isabelle Boudrot of Grand-Pré, age 43, and seven children--Simon le jeune, age 21, Marguerite, age 16, Étienne, fils, age 14, Marie-Madeleine, called Madeleine, age 7, Mathurin, age 6, Joseph, age 3, and newborn Marie-Marthe-Élisabeth. Étienne and Élisabeth had no more children in Louisiana. A son and a daughter were baptized at New Orleans on 8 December 1765, which gives an idea of when the family reached the colony. Étienne died probably at Cabanocé before September 1769, when his wife was listed as a widow in the census there. Their daughters married into the Lamothe, Landry, LeBlanc, Le Conte, and Robichaux families. Daughter Madeleine married three times. She, one of her sisters, and a brother settled on Bayou Lafourche. The others remained on the river near their widowed mother.
Marcel LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 31, came with wife Marie-Josèphe Breau of Cobeguit, age 29, and daughter Marguerite, age 2. They had more children, including sons, in Louisiana.
Marie LeBlanc, age 21, came with husband Athanase Breau of Chepoudy, age 30, and two children, ages 2 and infant. They remained on the river.
Rosalie LeBlanc, age 20, came with husband Paul Bourgeois of Chignecto, age 33, and no children. They remained at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where Rosalie remarried to Jean-Baptiste, son of fellow Acadian Pierre Bourgeois of Chignecto and widower of Marie-Madeleine Bourg and Osite Melançon, in January 1804, in her late 50s. Rosalie died near Convent, St. James Parish, in March 1815, in her late 60s.
André LeBlanc, age unrecorded, may have been a refugee from Halifax.
The Acadian Coast became the largest center of LeBlanc family settlement:
Descendants of Marcel LEBLANC (c1734-)
Marcel, son of Jacques LeBlanc and Catherine-Marie-Josèphe Forest, born probably at Grand-Pré in c1734, escaped the British roundup at Minas in the fall of 1755 and took refuge on the Gulf of St. Lawrence shore, where he married Marie-Josèphe, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Breau of Cobeguit, at Restigouche on the Baie des Chaleurs in November 1760. Soon after their marriage, the British confined them to a prisoner of war camp in Nova Scotia, and they came to Louisiana with hundreds of other prisoners from Halifax in 1765. They settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where their children were born. (If they had children in Nova Scotia, their names have been lost to history.) Spanish officials counted Marcel and his family on the right, or west, bank of the river at St.-Jacques in 1769 and 1777. His daughters married into the Chiasson, Dugas, and Melançon families. Marcel had only two sons, but they fathered many sons of their own. His older son remained on the river, but his younger son may have moved to upper Bayou Lafourche during the early antebellum period.

André LeBlanc came to Louisiana perhaps from Halifax via St.-Domingue in 1765. Spanish officials counted him at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques in 1766 with a boy and a girl in his household. Despite his living in an Acadian community, one wonders if André was Acadian. Who were his parents? How old was he? Was he married? Who were the boy and the girl with him at Cabanocé in April 1766? Where they his children, his younger siblings, or young cousins?
~
More LeBlancs, including six families, several wives, and at least two orphans, 34 members of the family in all, reached New Orleans in September 1766 after a three-month voyage from Baltimore, Maryland--the first contingent of Acadian exiles from that British colony. These LeBlancs, most of them from the Minas Basin, also settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques near their cousins already there and added substantially to that center of family settlement:
Jacques LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 58, came with wife Catherine-Marie-Josèphe Forest of Pigiguit, age 56, and three unmarried daughters--Catherine, age 16, Osite, age 14, and Marguerite, age unrecorded. They had no more children in Louisiana. Two of their daughters married into the Babin and Lanoux families and remained on the river. Jacques died at St.-Jacques in February 1795, age 87.

She lived with son Charles Melançon on the left, or east, bank of the river at nearby Ascension.
Jean-Pierre LeBlanc, age 39, Madeleine LeBlanc's son-in-law, came with wife Osite Melanson, age 34, and three children--Isaac, age 5, Josime, a son, age 4, and Hélène, age 1. Osite was pregnant when they reached the colony; son Simon was born at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques soon after they settled there.
Désiré LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 49, came with wife Marie-Madeleine Landry, age 43, and 10 children--Simon, age 24, Isaac, age 20, Jérôme, age 17, Élisabeth or Isabelle, age 15, Désiré, fils, age 13, Marine, age 11, Osite, age 8, Benjamin, age 6, Anselme, age 4, and Marie, age unrecorded.

Anne LeBlanc, age 34, came with husband Joseph Bujole of Pigiguit, age 43, and five children, ages 15 to 1.
Marie LeBlanc, age 32, widow of Joseph Richard, came with a 6-year-old daughter.
Sylvain LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 25, son of Jacques, came with wife Marie-Madeleine LeBlanc, age unrecorded, and son Simon, age 2. They had at least one more son in Louisiana. Sylvain remarried probably at Cabanocé in the late 1760s.

Marie-Marthe LeBlanc, age 17, an orphan, may have come alone. She married Jacques, fils, son of French Canadian Jacques Lachaussée of Ste.-Anne, Côte de Beaupré, at Cabanocé in February 1768, and remarried to Paul, son of fellow Acadian Jean-Baptiste Breaux, at Cabanocé or nearby Ascension in c1770.
Marie-Madeleine, called Madeleine, LeBlanc, age 11, also an orphan, came probably with the family of Amand Gautrot, which whom she was still living at Ascension in 1770. She married Anselme, son of fellow Acadian Charles Foret, there in February 1774 and died in Ascension Parish in May 1809, a widow in her mid-50s.
The LeBlancs from Maryland, especially Désiré, added significantly to this center of family settlement:

Spanish officials counted them on the right, or west, bank of the river at Cabanocé in 1769 and on the same side of the river at Ascension the following year. Their daughters married into the Babin, Landry, and LeBlanc families. Désiré died at Ascension in March 1777; he was 60 years old. Most of his seven sons created families of their own and contributed substantially to the number of LeBlancs in South Louisiana.

Descendants of Paul LEBLANC (c1743-)
Paul, younger son of Jacques LeBlanc and Catherine-Marie-Josèphe Forest, born probably at Grand-Pré in c1741, followed his family into exile in Pennsylvania in 1755 and on to Maryland by July 1763, when he was counted with them at Oxford, on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

With an infant son, they followed his parents and older brother to Louisiana in 1766 and settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where a daughter was soon born to them, so Agnès/Anne may have been pregnant on the voyage to Louisiana. Spanish officials counted them on the left, or east, bank of the river at St.-Jacques in 1769 and 1777. Their daughter married into the Gautreaux family. Four of his eight sons married, but only the lines of his two older sons seem to have survived.

~
In July 1767, more LeBlancs--24 of them, including three more families--reached New Orleans from Maryland with dozens of fellow Acadians. The Spanish by now were in control of the colony and insisted that these Maryland exiles settle not at Cabanocé or on the western prairies but at St.-Gabriel d'Iberville, a new Acadian community on the river above New Orleans. The new arrivals agreed to the arrangement because St.-Gabriel was so close to Cabanocé, where many of their kinsmen lived. The stretch of the river around St.-Gabriel, in fact, would soon be called the Upper Acadian Coast:
Marie LeBlanc, age 66, widow of Paul Babin, came with an unmarried 22-year-old daughter. Marie was one of the oldest Acadians to make it to Louisiana.
Another Marie LeBlanc, age 54, widow of Joseph Richard, came with two unmarried sons, ages 27 and 20.
Jean-Charles LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 53, came with wife Judith-Marguerite Landry, age 40, and five children--Jean-Baptiste, age 15, Joseph, age 12, later called Agros, Marie, age 5, Simon, later called Le Gros, age 4, and Anne, age 1. They had no more children in Louisiana. Their daughters married into the Landry and Provinché families. Son Simon dit Le Gros moved to the western prairies, but Jean-Charles's other sons remained on the river. Daughter Marie died at St.-Gabriel in December 1787, a year after her marriage; she was only 24 years old.
Marie-Josèphe Trahan, age 45, widow of Michel LeBlanc, came with two children--Marguerite, age 18, and Joseph-Michel, age 9.
Bonaventure LeBlanc, age 40, came with wife Marie Thériot, age 40, and five children--Joseph dit Adons, age 16, Anne, age 14, Marie-Madeleine, age 10, Esther, age 6, and Isaac, age 4. They had no more children in Louisiana. All of their children remained at St.-Gabriel. Their daughters married into the Babin, Biven, Culere or Dulaire, Dubois (French Creole, not Acadian), Goudeau, Landry, Longuépée, and Rivet families. Bonavenuture died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in October 1811; the priest who recorded his burial said that Bonaventure was 80 years old when he died, but he probably was closer to 84. Daughter Esther married four times and died near St. Gabriel in February 1821, in her late 50s; she outlived all four of her husbands. Marie-Madeleine married three times and died near St. Gabriel in September 1825, in her late 60s.
Marie-Josèphe LeBlanc, age 25, came with husband Francois Hébert, fils, age 29, and two sons, ages 4 and 3. Marie died near Baton Rouge in March 1806; the priest who recorded her burial said that she was 76 years old when she died, but she was closer to 64.
Marguerite LeBlanc, age 23, came with husband Francois-Sébastien Landry, age 26, and two daughters, ages 3 and infant.
Another Marguerite LeBlanc, age 20, came with husband Pierre-Paul Hébert, age 30, and three children, ages 5, 3, and infant. Marguerite died at St. Gabriel in February 1805; the priest who recorded her burial said that she was "age 48" when she died, but she was closer to 58.
Esther LeBlanc, age 22, came with husband Anselme Blanchard of Grand-Pré, age 27, two children, ages 4 and 2, and a 13-year-old orphan. Anselme served as commander of the Valenzuéla District on upper Bayou Lafourche in the early 1780s.
Isabelle-Marguerite LeBlanc, age 20, came with husband Jean-Baptiste Babin, age 38, and three small children. They had many more children in Louisiana. Isabelle died near St. Gabriel in January 1804; the priest who recorded her burial said that she was 60 years old when she died, but she was closer to 57.
Jean-Baptiste LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 18, came alone.
Orphan Marie-Marguerite, called Marguerite, LeBlanc, age 16, probably came with sister Marie, age 14. Marguerite married into the Bergeron and Gaudet families and settled on Bayou Lafourche. Marie married into the Paquette family and remained on the river.
Descendants of Jean-Baptiste LEBLANC (c1749-)
Jean-Baptiste, son of probably Joseph LeBlanc and Marie-Marguerite Landry, born probably at Grand-Pré in c1749, was exiled to Maryland in 1755. He came to Louisiana in 1767 and settled at St.-Gabriel d'Iberville. He married Marguerite, daughter of fellow Acadian Alexis Comeaux, at nearby Ascension in December 1775. Spanish officials counted them on the "right bank ascending," or east bank of the river at St.-Gabriel in 1777. He owned a single slave by then. His daughters married into the Blanchard and Hébert families. Except for its blood, his line of the family seems to have died out after the second generation.

Jean Marcellin, by his second wife, died near St. Gabriel in February 1838. He was only 20 years old. His line of the family died with him.

Joseph, born near St.-Gabriel in March 1778, married distant cousin Marguerite, daughter of Joseph dit Adons LeBlanc, at St.-Gabriel in June 1802. Their son Joseph, fils was born near St. Gabriel in November 1807 but died at age 12 in February 1820. Their daughter married into the Landry family. Joseph, père died in Iberville Parish in December 1813; he was only 35 years old. His only son did not live long enough to marry, so this line of the family, except for its blood, did not survive in the Bayou State.
3
Jean-Baptiste, fils, born near St.-Gabriel in June 1790, may have died young, unless he was the Jean Baptiste who died near St. Gabriel in September 1839. The priest who recorded that burial said that Jean Baptiste was "age 54 yrs." when he died, but if this was Jean Baptiste, son of Jean Baptiste, he would have been "only" 49. The recording priest did not bother to give Jean Baptiste's parents' names or mention a wife.

Youngest son Joseph-Édouard, born near St.-Gabriel in November 1794, may have died young.
Descendants of Joseph dit Adons LEBLANC (c1751-1824?)
Joseph dit Adons, elder son of Bonaventure LeBlanc and Marie Thériot, born probably at Minas in c1751, followed his family into exile in Maryland in 1755. He was counted with them at Baltimore in July 1763, followed them to Louisiana in 1767, and settled at St.-Gabriel d'Iberville, where he married Marie-Marguerite, called Marguerite, daughter of fellow Acadian Alexandre Landry, in the late 1760s or early 1770s. Spanish officials counted them on the "right bank, ascending," or east bank of the river at St.-Gabriel in 1777. Their daughters married into the Arceneaux, Babin, Dupuis, Gareuil, and Hébert families and perhaps into the Trahan family as well. Joseph may have died near St. Gabriel in March 1824, in his early 70s. Two of his sons married first cousins.

2b
Achille Ursin, by his first wife, died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in April 1833. He was only 27 years old and probably did not marry.
2c
Hermogène, by his first wife, married Mary Azélie, daughter of Anglo-American John Allen of Valens County, Mississippi, in a civil ceremony in Valens County and sanctified the marriage at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in December 1839.

Jean-Baptiste-Joseph, called Joseph, born near St.-Gabriel in April 1785, married Marie Céleste, called Céleste, daughter of fellow Acadian Amand Hébert, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in June 1810. Their son Amand Balthazar was born near St. Gabriel in August 1811 but died at age 3 in September 1814, an infant, perhaps theirs and perhaps a son, name unrecorded, died at birth in October 1812, Joseph Hermogène was born in September 1813, and another infant, perhaps theirs and perhaps a son, name unrecorded, died at birth in January 1819. Their daughter married into the Walsh family. He may have been the Jean Baptiste LeBlanc who died near St. Gabriel, age 54, in September 1839.
4
Youngest son Étienne-Édouard, called Édouard, born near St.-Gabriel in July 1794, married first cousin Marie Adélaïde, called Adélaïde, daughter of his uncle Isaac LeBlanc, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in August 1818; they had to secure a dispensation for second degree of consanguinity in order to marry. Their son Joseph Édouard was born near St. Gabriel in September 1819, a son, name unrecorded, died at age 2 in August 1823, and Jules was born in February 1824. Édouard may have died near St. Gabriel in July 1828; if so, he would have been only 34 years old. Daughter Emma Adélaïde was born a few days before he died.
Descendants of Isaac LEBLANC (c1763-1826)
Isaac, younger son of Bonaventure LeBlanc and Marie Thériot, born probably at Baltimore, Maryland, in c1763, followed his family to Louisiana in 1767 and settled with them at St.-Gabriel d'Iberville. He married Félicité, daughter of fellow Acadian Amand Melançon, at St.-Gabriel in November 1786. Their daughters married into the Allain, Babin, Blanchard, Chiasson, Delaune, LeBlanc, Roth, and Tusson families. Isaac died near St. Gabriel in September 1826; he was 63 years old. Neither of his sons seems to have married, so this line of the family, except for its blood, probably died with him.
1
Older son Clotin, born near St.-Gabriel in December 1788, may have died young.
2
Younger son Maximilien, born near St.-Gabriel in February 1791, also may have died young.
Descendants of Jean-Baptiste dit Agros LEBLANC (c1752-)
Jean-Baptiste dit Agros, eldest son of Jean-Charles LeBlanc and Judith-Marguerite Landry, born probably at Grand-Pré in c1752, followed his family into exile in Maryland in 1755. He was counted with them at Baltimore in July 1763, followed them to Louisiana in 1767, and settled at St.-Gabriel d'Iberville, where he married Madeleine-Marthe, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean-Baptiste Foret, in April 1782. Their daughters married into the Hébert and Landry families and perhaps the Dupuis family as well. Only one of his many sons married, and he may not have fathered sons of their own, so this line of the family, except for its blood, may not have survived.
1
Oldest son Gabriel, born near St.-Gabriel in April 1786, died there in February 1808. He was only 21 years old and did not marry.
2
Hippolyte, born near St.-Gabriel in December 1792, ...
3
Placide, born probably near St. Gabriel in c1789, married Letitia, daughter of Anglo-American Jean Dodd, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in January 1817. Their daughter married into the Landry family. Placide may have died near St. Gabriel in February 1824; if so, he would have been only 35 years old. Except for its blood, his line of the family probably died with him.
4
Laurent, born near St.-Gabriel in December 1794, may have died there in November 1820. The priest who recorded this burial did not bother to give Laurent's parents' names or mention a wife but did say that Laurent was "age 30 yrs." when he died. If this was Laurent, son of Jean Baptiste dit Agros, he would have been only 25 when he died.
5
Édouard, perhaps their youngest son, born in c1807, died near St. Gabriel at age 5 in July 1812.
Descendants of Joseph dit Agros LEBLANC (c1755-1811)
Joseph dit Agros, second son of Jean-Charles LeBlanc and Judith-Marguerite Landry, born at Grand-Pré in c1755, followed his family into exile in Maryland in 1755. He was counted with them at Baltimore in July 1763, followed them to Louisiana in 1767, and settled at St.-Gabriel d'Iberville. He married Anne-Julie or Julie-Anne, daughter of fellow Acadian Chrysostôme Trahan, at nearby Ascension in October 1787. Anne-Julie had come to Louisiana from France in 1785 aboard L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships. They settled at St.-Gabriel de Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. One of their daughters was baptized at New Orleans in November 1790, so they may have lived in the city before returning to the Manchac area. They settled in what became West Baton Rouge Parish. Their daughters married into the Guidry, Landry, Reboul, and Serrette families. Joseph dit Agros died probably in West Baton Rouge Parish in March 1811; he was 55 years old.

He married Marguerite, daughter of fellow Acadian Augustin Landry, at St.-Gabriel in June 1781. Their daughters married into the Babin and LeBlanc families. Their daughter Marie Rosalie, wife of cousin Auguste LeBlanc, died at Barataria in the c1814 or 1815 in her late 20s and was reinterred at St. Gabriel in January 1816. Joseph Michel's baptismal record was recertified by the St. Gabriel priest in January 1819, when he was 60. Joseph Michel died near St. Gabriel in October 1833; the priest who recorded his burial said that Joseph was 81 years old when he died, but he was "only" 74. Only his younger sons seem to have created families of their own. Two of them married sisters.
1
Oldest son Augustin or Auguste, born near St.-Gabriel in May 1783, died near St. Gabriel in February 1834. The priest who recorded his burial said that Auguste was 52 years old when he died, but he was only 50. He may not have married.

Élie remarried to Iréné, daughter of fellow Acadian Jacques Hernandez, at the St. Gabriel church in June 1825, on the same day and at the same place his younger brother Isaac married Iréné's sister Céleste. Their son Hermogène was born near St. Gabriel in May 1829, Adolphe in April 1833, and Jean Baptiste in August 1838. ...

In early 1768, two LeBlanc wives came to Louisiana from Maryland with the large party from Port Tobacco led by brothers Alexis and Honoré Breau of Pigiguit. Spanish governor Ulloa forced them to settle at Fort San Luis de Natchez, far up the river, across from present-day Natchez, Mississippi, but they did not remain there:
Marguerite LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 62, widow of Pierre Cloistre dit Clouâtre, came with four grown, unmarried children, ages 27 to 18. After the Spanish released them from Fort San Luis de Natchez, Marguerite moved to St.-Gabriel, where she died in April 1782, in her late 70s.
Rose-Osite LeBlanc, age 37, came with husband Joseph Babin and three children, ages 21, 5, and 2.
~
The arrival dates of several LeBlancs who came to Louisiana in the 1760s and settled on the river are difficult to determine:
Marie and Rose LeBlanc came to Louisiana with brother Pierre-Dalcantasa. They may have settled with him at St.-Gabriel. One wonders if Marie and Rose were actually one person, Marie-Rose, who married Charles Landry.
Marie-Rose LeBlanc married Francois, son of fellow Acadian Charles Landry, at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques in May 1768. One wonders if Marie-Rose was the sister of the Pierre LeBlanc who married Marguerite Breaux.
Jean-Charles LEBLANC (?-)
Jean-Charles, son of Jean LeBlanc and Marie Thériot, married Anne-Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Landry, at St.-Jacques in August 1770. She had come to Louisiana from Maryland in 1768 with six of her siblings and followed them and the rest of the Breau party to Fort San Luis de Natchez, across the river from present-day Natchez, Mississippi. One wonders if Jean-Charles also had come to Louisiana from Maryland with the Breau party and had gone with them to Natchez. One also wonders if Jean-Charles and Anne-Madeleine had any children.
Descendants of Pierre LEBLANC (1753-1790)
Pierre, son of Joseph LeBlanc and Marguerite Landry, born probably at Minas in October 1753, may have been exiled to Maryland as an infant in 1755 and came to Louisiana with sisters Marie and Rose perhaps in 1766 or 1767. Spanish officials counted him on the "left bank ascending" at St.-Gabriel in 1777; he was still a bachelor and owned a Negro boy. Pierre married Marguerite-Pélagie, daughter of fellow Acadian Janvier Breaux, at Ascension in October 1778. They settled near St.-Gabriel. Their daughter married into the Dupuis family. Pierre may have died near St.-Gabriel in November1790; if so, he would have been only 37 years old. Most of his half dozen sons married fellow Acadians and remained in the St. Gabriel area. One of his sons married three times.

Oldest son Francois-Xavier, born near St.-Gabriel in October 1779, probably died young.
2
Narcisse, born at Ascension in March 1783, married distant cousin Marie Anne, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Baptiste Babin, at St. Gabriel in February 1806; Marie Anne's mother was a LeBlanc. Their daughters married into the Breaux and Richard families. Narcisse may have fathered no sons, so this line of the family, except for its blood, may have died with him.
3
Joseph-Auguste, called Auguste, born near St.-Gabriel in November 1784, married cousin Marie Rosalie, called Rosalie, daughter of Joseph Michel LeBlanc, at St. Gabriel in February 1806; they had to secure a dispensation for third degree of consanguinity in order to marry. Rosalie died at Barataria in c1814 or 1815 in her late 20s and was reinterred at St. Gabriel in January 1816. Auguste remarried to Constance, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Bujole, at the Donaldson church, Ascension Parish, in January 1817, and remarried again--his third marriage--to Clarisse, daughter of fellow Acadian Paul Babin and widow of Louis Seguinot, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in March 1820. Their child, perhaps a son, name and age unrecorded, died near Baton Rouge in October 1823. Auguste died near St. Gabriel in July 1829; he was 44 years old.
4
Maximilien, a twin, born near St.-Gabriel in March 1787, married Marie Hélène, called Hélène, daughter of fellow Acadian Simon Allain, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in February 1808. Their son Joachim was born near St. Gabriel in January 1809, Pierre Eperin in June 1816, Pierre Hermogène in January 1818, and Maximilien, fils in January 1824. ...
Joachim married Ludivine, daughter of fellow Acadian Abraham Hébert, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in September 1837. ...
5
Pierre-Charles, Maximilien's twin, died near St.-Gabriel at age 3 months in July 1787.
6
Youngest son Pierre-Paul, called Paul, born near St.-Gabriel in March 1789, married distant cousin Marguerite, daughter of fellow Acadian Mathurin Landry, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in February 1810; Marguerite's mother, also, was a Breaux; they had to secure a dispensation for third degree of consanguinity in order to marry. Their son Pierre Jude was born near St. Gabriel in February 1811, Pierre Eugène near Baton Rouge in February 1815, Ursin near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in June 1820, and an infant, perhaps a son, died near St. Gabriel at age 6 months in July 1823. Their daughters married into the Babin and Hébert families. Pierre Paul may have remarried to Letitia, also called Melcide, daughter perhaps of Anglo-American Jean Dodd and widow perhaps of Placide LeBlanc, at St. Gabriel in the late 1820s. ...

The largest contingent of LeBlancs who emigrated to Louisiana--at least 73 of them, including 20 families--arrived aboard every one of the Seven Ships from France in 1785. These were LeBlancs from Minas whom the British had exiled to Virginia in the fall of 1755, had deported to England the following year, and repatriated to France in 1763, many of them settling on Belle-Île-en-Mer off the southern coast of Brittany; and also LeBlancs from Pigiguit, Cobeguit, and Île St.-Jean whom the British had deported from the Maritime islands to France in 1758-59. After enduring the indignities of life in the mother country for a quarter of a century, they took up the Spanish government's offer to start a new life in Louisiana:
Eighteen LeBlancs crossed on Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in late July. They went to the Baton Rouge area:
Simon LeBlanc, age 62, crossed with second wife Marie Trahan, age 51, and three children--Joseph, age 20, Marie-Anne, age 15, and Jacques-Pierre-Marie, age 14. From Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, they moved downriver to Ascension, where Simon died in February 1802, age 77. Daughter Marie-Anne married into the Landry and LeBlanc families and settled on Bayou Lafourche; she died in Ascension Parish in September 1831, in her early 60s. Most of Simon's sons remained at Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. Son Jacques moved to the Bayou Teche valley in the early 1800s.
Jean LeBlanc, age 36, Simon's son by his first wife, crossed with wife Thérèse Hébert, age 35, and daughter Marie-Rose, age 1 1/2. They remained on the river.

Theirs was the first family to step off the first of the Seven Ships. Their daughters married into the Boudreaux and LeBlanc families and remained on the river. Their sons also remained on the river. Daughter Marguerite died probably at Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, in August 1798; the priest who recorded her burial said that she was "age 30 years" when she died, but she was 32. Daughter Marie Francoise also died at Manchac, in September 1814; she was 48 years old and a widow.
Marguerite LeBlanc, age 48, crossed with husband André Templé, age 57, and eight children, ages 25 to 7. Hers was the second family to step off the ship. They settled on upper Bayou Lafourche.

.
Fifteen more LeBlancs crossed on La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in mid-August. Most of them followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to Ascension and upper Bayou Lafourche:
Ursule Breau, age 65, widow of Jean-Baptiste LeBlanc, her second husband, crossed with son Simon, age 23, and granddaughter Madeleine-Francoise LeBlanc, age 11. Madeleine-Francoise married into the Giroir family and settled on Bayou Lafourche but seems to have died in Ascension Parish in July 1833, age 60. Simon, meanwhile, remained at Ascension, married there, and may have died in his late 20s.
Claude LeBlanc, age 62, crossed with third wife Dorothée Richard, age 50, and Claire Landry, her 80-year-old mother-in-law from her first marriage. Claude died at Ascension in August 1800; he was 77 years old. The stories he could have told!

Marie-Blanche LeBlanc, age 43, crossed with husband Pierre Richard, a 30-year-old female cousin of his, and two children, ages 19 and 16. They settled on upper Bayou Lafourche.
Élisabeth dite Maillet LeBlanc, age 42, crossed with husband Honoré Breaux, age 50, and six children, ages 16 to infant. They were among the few passengers from their ship who settled at Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. Élisabeth died at Manchac in January 1808; the priest who recorded her burial said that she was 60 years old when she died, but she was closer to 65.
Olivier LeBlanc, age 38, crossed with wife Marie-Madeleine Lebert, age 24, and two children--Marie-Anne, age 3, and Pierre-Olivier, age 1. Olivier remarried at Ascension and took his family upriver to the Manchac area.
Étienne LeBlanc, age 36, crossed alone. He settled on Bayou Lafourche.
Élisabeth, or Isabelle, LeBlanc of Île St.-Jean, age 29, Étienne's sister, crossed with husband Louis-Francois Le Tollierec, a Frenchman, and two children, ages 4 and 1. They settled on Bayou Lafourche.

A LeBlanc wife crossed on La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in early December. Most, if not all, of the passengers from this ship went to the new Acadian community of Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge:
Marguerite LeBlanc of Rivière-aux-Canards, age 40, crossed with husband Charles Bourg of Cobeguit, age 51. They brought no children and moved to upper Bayou Lafourche by the 1790s.
.
A young LeBlanc bachelor crossed on La Caroline, the last of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in late December:
Claude-Marie LeBlanc, age 20, crossed alone and settled on upper Bayou Lafourche.
.
Many of the LeBlancs who came to Louisiana from France settled on the Acadian Coast near their cousins already there:
Descendants of Pierre LEBLANC (c1743-)
Pierre, elder son of Victor LeBlanc and Marie Aucoin, born probably at Grand-Pré in c1743, followed his family to one of the Maritime islands and was deported to France in 1758-59 with the family of his stepfather, Grégoire Maillet. Pierre married Anne-Josèphe, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles Lebert, at Plouër, France, in February 1767; she was the sister of his younger brother Olivier's future wife. They sailed to France aboard Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and followed the majority of their fellow passengers to Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. Pierre remarried to Geneviève, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles Richard and widow of Simon dit Pierre Pitre and Victor Boudreaux, probably at Manchac in September 1787. Every one of his four sons, all born in France, may have died young, ending this line of the family.
1
Oldest son Joseph-Olivier, by his first wife, born at Plouër, France, in May 1768, may have died young.
2
Pierre-Paul, by his first wife, born at Plouër, France, in February 1770, may have died young.
3
Jean-Cleandre, by his first wife, born at Plouër, France, in September 1771, may have died young.
4
Youngest son Victor-Charles, by his first wife, born at Nantes, France, in March 1776, may have died young.
Descendants of Olivier LEBLANC (c1746-1808)
Olivier, younger son of Victor LeBlanc and Marie Aucoin, born at Grand-Pré in c1746, followed his family to one of the Maritime islands and was deported to France in 1758-59 with the family of his stepfather, Grégoire Maillet. Olivier married Marie-Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles Lebert, at Nantes, France, in June 1781; she was the sister of his older brother Pierre's wife. They sailed to Louisiana aboard La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, in 1785, and followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to Ascension. They had more children in Louisiana, including sons. Their daughter married into the Bourg family. Olivier remarried to Rose, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Richard, at Ascension in November 1790. Unlike his older brother, who settled on upper Bayou Lafourche, Olivier took his family upriver to the Manchac area, south of Baton Rouge, where he died in January 1808; the priest who recorded his burial said that Olivier was 72 years old when he died, but he was closer to 62. His burial record also noted that at the time of his death he was "unmarried."
1
Oldest son Pierre-Olivier, by his first wife, baptized at Chantenay, France, age unrecorded, in April 1784, probably died young.
2
Charles-Marie, by his first wife, born at Ascension in October 1785, married Modeste Aimée or Emerite, daughter of fellow Acadian Jacques Blanchard, at Baton Rouge in February 1806. Their son Charles, fils was born at Manchac in November 1808. Their daughter married into the Dupuis family. Charles remarried to Élisabeth, daughter of fellow Acadian Bénoni Hébert, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in March 1813. They settled in West Baton Rouge Parish. Their son Magloire le jeune was born in July 1817, and Victorin in January 1822. Their daughters married into the Anger and Babin families. Charles remarried again--his third marriage--to Anne Marine, called Marine, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles Hébert and widow of Jean Louis Landry, at the Baton Rouge church in May 1837; he was in his early 50s. His oldest son settled on the western prairies. ...
Charles, fils, by his first wife, married Élisabeth Tarsile, daughter of French Creole Jean Marie Tullier of West Baton Rouge Parish, at the St. Martinville church, St. Martin Parish, in May 1833. They remained in St. Martin Parish.
3
Youngest son Magloire-Henri, by his first wife, born probably at Manchac in October 1787, married Marie Modeste, daughter of fellow Acadian Pierre Blanchard, at Baton Rouge in August 1810.

Descendants of Jean LEBLANC (1746-)
Jean, son of Simon LeBlanc and his first wife Marguerite Bourg, born at Grand-Pré in October 1746, followed his family to one of the Maritime islands and was deported to France in 1758-59. He married Thérèse, sometimes called Bertille or Tarsille, daughter of fellow Acadian Francois Hébert of Cobeguit, at St.-Martin-de-Chantenay, France, in April 1782. They and their infant daughter sailed to Louisiana with his father's family aboard Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and followed them to Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. Their daughter married into the Longuépée family. Jean and Bertille may have had no sons; if so, this line of the family, except for its blood, did not survive. ...
Thomas LEBLANC (c1746-1786)
Thomas LeBlanc, born in Acadia in c1746, was deported to France probably in the late 1750s. He became a tailor in the mother country and sailed to Louisiana alone aboard Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships, in 1785. He followed the majority of the passengers from his ship to Ascension, where he died in December 1786; he was only 40 years. He does not seem to have married.
Descendants of Simon LEBLANC (1761-c1789?)
Simon, son of Jean-Baptiste LeBlanc and Ursule Breau, born in England in October 1761, followed his family to France in 1763, where he worked as a day laborer. He was still a bachelor when he sailed to Louisiana with his widowed mother and a niece aboard La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, in 1785. He followed them to Ascension, where he may have married Anne-Marie, called Annette, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean-Baptiste Daigle, in April 1788. Annette came to Louisiana aboard Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships. Simon may have died by January 1790, when his wife remarried at Ascension.
Joseph, born at Ascension in August 1789, may have died young. If so, his line of the family died with him.
Descendants of Joseph LEBLANC (1764-)
Joseph, elder son of Simon LeBlanc and his second wife Marie Trahan, born at Morlaix, France, in November 1764, became a sailor in the mother country. He followed his family to Louisiana aboard Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and settled with them at Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, where he married distant Marguerite-Blanche-Ian, daughter of Joseph LeBlanc, in February 1787. Marguerite also had come to Louisiana aboard Le Bon Papa and probably had known Joseph since their childhood together on Belle-Île-en-Mer. Their daughters married into the Danos family and perhaps the Rivet family as well. Joseph remarried to Marie- or Laurentine-Urienne, called Corentine, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Longuépée, at Manchac in July 1799. Corentine had come to Louisiana aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the second of the Seven Ships. Their daughters married into the Berret, Hernandez, Melançon, and Rivet families. ...

Anne had come to Louisiana aboard L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships. Pierre-Honoré's father settled on upper Bayou Lafourche by the mid-1790s, but Pierre-Honoré and Anne-Henriette remained on the river. Their daughters married into the Guidry and Prejean families. Pierre-Honoré died at St.-Jacques on the river in August 1796; he was only 31 years old. His line of the family, except for its blood, probably died with him.
Descendants of Jean-Baptiste LEBLANC (c1768-1820)
Jean-Baptiste, son of Jean-Jacques LeBlanc and his second wife Nathalie Pitre, born at St.-Servan, France, near St. Malo, in March 1768, became a sailor in France. He followed his widowed mother and a sister to Louisiana aboard La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, in 1785. Spanish officials counted him on the right, or west, bank of the river at Ascension in 1788 working as an engagé with the family of Jean Licaire. Jean-Baptiste married Marie-Henriette, daughter of fellow Acadian Simon Boudreaux, at nearby St.-Jacques in January 1795. Jean Baptiste died in St. James Parish in April 1820; he was 51 years old.

Joseph-Marie LEBLANC (1768-)
Joseph-Marie, elder son of Joseph LeBlanc and his second wife Anne Hébert, born at Kleban, Belle-Île-en-Mer, France, in April 1768, followed his family to Louisiana aboard Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and settled with them at Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. One wonders what became of him.
Simon-Louis-Marie LEBLANC (1771-1798)
Simon, younger son of Joseph LeBlanc and his second wife Anne Hébert, born at Sauzon, Belle-Île-en-Mer, France, in April 1771, followed his family to Louisiana aboard Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and settled with them at Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. Simon died at Manchac in January 1798; the priest who recorded his burial said that Simon was 25 years old when he died, but he was 26. He probably never married.
~
A LeBlanc widow was among the last Acadians to come to Louisiana:
Marine LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 52, widow of Joseph Babin, came to Louisiana aboard the schooner Brigitte, owned and piloted by fellow Acadian Joseph Gravois, in 1788. With her were five children, ages 25 to 15. They left Île St.-Pierre, off the southern coast of Newfoundland, in early October and reached New Orleans two months later. Marine died at Ascension in September 1789, age 55.

During the early antebellum period, in a reversal of the usual Acadian migration pattern, a LeBlanc from upper Bayou Lafourche "returned" to the Acadian Coast:
Descendants of Amable-André LEBLANC (1794-)
Amable-André, called André, second son of Charles-Jean LeBlanc and Brigitte-Josèphe Hébert, was born at Assumption on upper Bayou Lafourche in February 1794. Amable married Marguerite Josephine, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles Breaux, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in November 1818, and remarried to Adélaïde, daughter of fellow Acadian Simon Allain and widow of Joseph Hébert, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in June 1828. ...

Other LEBLANCs on the River
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link some LeBlancs on the river with known lines of the family there. The priests at Ascension, St.-Jacques, Convent, and St.-Gabriel were especially remiss in their duties:
Joseph LeBlanc married Marguerite Blanchard and settled near St.-Gabriel by the early 1780s.
Joseph LeBlanc married Marie-Madeleine, called Madeleine, Landry. Their son Joseph, fils died near St.-Gabriel 10 days after his birth in April 1786, and Joseph-Bénoni or Béloni, called Bénoni, was born in c1788. Béloni married Euphrosine, daughter of French Creole Antoine Lanclos and widow of Vital Rivet, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in December 1811. Their daughter Marie Madeleine may have married into the Trahan family. Béloni moved to the western prairies by May 1824, when he remarried at Grand Coteau, St. Landry Parish.
Michel LeBlanc died at Ascension in August 1786. The priest who recorded his burial did not bother to give Michel's parents' names, mention a wife, or give his age at the time of his death.
Alexandre LeBlanc married Anne Trahan. Their son Joseph was baptized at Ascension, age unrecorded, in May 1787.
Joseph LeBlanc married Marguerite Favre and settled at Ascension by the early 1790s.
Rose LeBlanc died near St.-Gabriel in December 1794. The priest who recorded her burial did not bother to give her parents' names, mention a husband, or even give her age at the time of her death. One wonders if she was an immigrant or a native of Louisiana.
Augustin LeBlanc, described as "native of Cabanocé," died at St.-Jean-Baptiste on the Upper German Coast in January 1801. The priest who recorded his burial did not bother to give Augustin's parents' names, mention a wife, or give his age at the time of his death.
Joseph LeBlanc married Marguerite or Marie Boudreaux and settled at St.-Gabriel by the early 1800s.
Isaac LeBlanc married Marie Theriot. Their daughter Geneviève married into the Thibodeaux family at St.-Jacques in August 1802, and into the Price family in Lafourche Interior Parish in October 1829.
Joseph dit Lave LeBlanc died at Ascension in November 1804. The priest who recorded his burial did not bother to give Joseph's parents' names, mention a wife, or even record his age at the time of his death.
Omer or Homer, son of Joseph LeBlanc, died at Ascension in July 1805. The priest who recorded his burial said that Omer was only nine months old when he died. Since the priest did not list the boy's mother's name, one can only guess which of the many Joseph LeBlancs at Ascension was his father.
Colin LeBlanc married Marie Constance Breaux. Their son Nicolas was born at St. James in November 1805.
Jean LeBlanc, "former school teacher," died near St. Gabriel in February 1806. The priest who recorded his burial said that Jean was 50 years old when he died but did not bother to give his parents' names or mention a wife. Considering his profession, one wonders if Jean was Acadian.
Richard LeBlanc died in Ascension Parish in June 1808. The priest who recorded his burial said that Richard was 28 years old when he died but did not bother to give his parents' names or mention a wife.
Édouard LeBlanc died near Convent, St. James Parish, in September 1811. The priest who recorded his burial said that Édouard was nine years old when he died but did not bother to give the boy's parents' names.
André LeBlanc died near Convent, St. James Parish, in March 1814. The priest who recorded his burial called André "an Acadian" and said he was "age 45" when he died, but the good father did not bother to give the Acadian's parents' names or mention a wife.
Dorville LeBlanc died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in February 1815. The priest who recorded his burial said that Dorville was 16 years old when he died but did not bother to give his parents' names.
Moïse LeBlanc died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in May 1815. The priest who recorded his burial said that Moïse was 23 years old when he died but did not bother to give his parents' names or mention a wife.
Valeno LeBlanc was born in Ascension Parish in May 1816. The Donaldson priest who recorded the boy's baptism called his parents Canto LeBlanc and Margarita Landry. Anyone have a clue? The priest did not.
Jean Baptiste LeBlanc died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in June 1816. The priest who recorded his burial said that Jean Baptiste was 77 years old when he died but did not bother to give his parents' names or mention a wife, so one wonders which Jean Baptiste he was.
Charles LeBlanc died in Ascension Parish in October 1817. The priest who recorded his burial said that Charles was married and 45 years old when he died, but the good father did not bother to give his parents' names or the name of his wife.
Joseph dit Atout LeBlanc died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in October 1817. The priest who recorded his burial said that Joseph "called Atout" was "age 34" when he died but did not bother to give his parents' names or mention a wife.
Jean Barthélemy LeBlanc died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, age 2, in September 1821. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did not bother to give his parents' names.
Paul LeBlanc died near Convent, St. James Parish, in March1822. The priest who recorded his burial said that Paul was 30 years old when he died but did not bother to give hiss parents' names or mention a wife.
Jean LeBlanc died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in April 1822. The priest who recorded his burial said that Jean was 35 years old when he died but did not bother to give his parents' names or mention a wife.
Jean LeBlanc died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in September 1822. The priest who recorded his burial said that Jean was 66 years old when he died but did not bother to give his parents' names or mention a wife.
Auguste, son of Levi LeBlanc, died in Ascension Parish, age 1, in April 1833. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did not bother to list his mother's name, and one wonders if the good father recorded the correct given name for the boy's father.
Benjamin Hermogène LeBlanc died in Ascension Parish in July 1833. The priest who recorded his burial said that Benjamin was "age 38 yrs." when he died but did not bother to give his parents' names or mention a wife.
LOUISIANA: LAFOURCHE VALLEY SETTLEMENTS
During the late 1780s and early 1790s, Spanish officials were counting LeBlancs from France on upper Bayou Lafourche, which became a third center of family settlement:
Marie LeBlanc, born in Acadia, wife of Pierre LeBlanc, died at Assumption in September 1796. She was 50 years old.
Marie Marguerite, called Marguerite, LeBlanc, wife of Joseph Gaudet, died at Assumption in March 1805, in her mid-50s.
The succession record of Marie LeBlanc, wife of Jean Guidry dit Grivois, was filed at what became the Terrebonne Parish courthouse in September 1807. She would have been in her late 70s that year.
Marguerite LeBlanc, widow of André Templet, died in Assumption Parish in May 1815, in her late 70s.
Marthe LeBlanc, widow of Pierre Landry, died in Assumption Parish in June 1822. The priest who recorded her burial said that Marthe was 95 years old when she died, but she was "only" 87.
Adélaïde Marguerite, called Marguerite, LeBlanc, wife of Francois Roger, died in Lafourche Interior Parish in June 1827. The priest who recorded her burial said that Marguerite was 55 years old when she died, but she was only 45. Her succession record was filed at the Thibodauxville courthouse in July.
Anne LeBlanc, widow of Jean Duhon, died in Assumption Parish in February 1831, in her early 80s.
Marie Rose LeBlanc, wife of Théodore Bourg, died in Lafourche Interior Parish in December 1832, in her late 60s. Her succession record was filed at the Thibodauxville courthouse in January.
Rosalie LeBlanc, wife of Noël Victor Boudreaux, died in Lafourche Interior Parish in October 1836, in her early 50s.
Marie Madeleine LeBlanc, widow of Jean-Joseph Hébert and Pierre Gerbaut or Jerbeaux, died in Lafourche Interior Parish in May 1837, in her early 60s. Her succession record was filed at the Thibodauxville courthouse in June.
Descendants of Charles LEBLANC (1734-)
Charles, son of Claude LeBlanc and Madeleine Boudrot, born at Grand-Pré in April 1734, married Anne Benoit probably on one of the Maritime islands in c1758, just before the British deported them to France. They survived the terrible crossing aboard the transport Tamerlan, which reached St.-Malo in January 1759. Charles worked as a day laborer and a sawyer in France. Anne died from giving birth to son Charles-Jean at Châteauneuf, near St.-Malo, in September 1761. Charles remarried to Rosalie, daughter of fellow Acadian Claude Trahan, at St.-Servan, also near St.-Malo, in February 1763. She gave him many more children. They and six of their children sailed to Louisiana aboard Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to Ascension, where Spanish officials counted them on the right, or west, bank of the river in 1788 and 1791. They settled on upper Bayou Lafourche, where they had more children. Their daughters married into the Boudreaux, Bourg, and Hébert families. ...
1
Oldest son Charles-Jean, by his first wife, born at Châteauneuf, France, in September 1761, married Brigitte-Josèphe, daughter of fellow Acadian Amable Hébert, probably at Nantes, France, in the early 1780s. They sailed to Louisiana aboard Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and went first to Baton Rouge. In the late 1780s or early 1790s, they moved downriver to Ascension, where his family had settled. Spanish officials counted them on the right, or west, side of the river at Ascension in 1791. They settled on upper Bayou Lafourche but moved to New Orleans in the late 1790s, where they buried five of their children, ages 14 to infant, in September and October 1799--victims, most likely, of a yellow fever epidemic that struck the city. Their son Jean-Charles, called Charles, was born at Manchac in April 1788, Amable-André or André-Amable, called André, at Assumption in February 1794, Augustin in c1796 but died at New Orleans, age 3, in October 1799, Charles, described by the priest who buried him as a "very young child," died at New Orleans in September 1799, and Alexandre was baptized at New Orleans, age 2 months, in January 1801. In a reversal of the usual Acadian migration pattern, one of their sons returned to the Baton Rouge area.
1a
André married Marguerite Josephine, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles Breaux, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in November 1818. They remained on the river, where he remarried to Adélaïde, daughter of fellow Acadian Simon Allain and widow of Joseph Hébert, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in June 1828.
1b
Jean Charles may have died in Lafourche Interior Parish in January 1824. If so, he would have been 36 years old that year, not age 26 as recorded by the priest, who did not bother to give Jean Charles's parents names or mention a wife, if he had one.
2
Pierre-Honoré, by his second wife, born at St.-Servan, France, in July 1765, married Anne-Henriette, daughter of fellow Acadian Étienne Boudreaux, at Ascension in February 1792. Anne had come to Louisiana aboard L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships from France. They remained on the river. Their daughters married into the Guidry and Prejean families. Pierre-Honoré died at St.-Jacques on the river in August 1796; he was only 31 years old. Except for its blood, his line of the family may have died with him.
3
André-Marie, by his second wife, born at St.-Servan, France, in November 1766, married Marie-Louise, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles Hébert, at Assumption in October 1793. Marie-Louise had come to Louisiana aboard La Caroline, the last of the Seven Ships from France. ...
4
Jean-Baptiste, by his second wife, born at Nantes, France, in October 1784, probably died young.
5
Youngest son Honoré, by his second wife, born probably at Assumption in c1792, also may have died young.
Descendants of Paul LEBLANC (c1744-)
Paul, son of Claude LeBlanc and Madeleine Boudrot, born in Acadia in c1744, was exiled from one of the Maritime islands probably to Boulogne, France, in 1758-59. He arrived at St.-Malo, France, from Boulogne in July 1766 and lived at nearby St.-Servan, where he married distant cousin Anne, daughter of fellow Acadian Francois Boudrot of Grand-Pré, in May 1770. They sailed to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785, and followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to Baton Rouge, where Spanish officials counted them in 1792. They had more children at Baton Rouge. By the mid-1790s, however, they had moved to upper Bayou Lafourche. Their daughters married into the Bergeron, Boudreaux, Roger, and Rousseau families. His only son married but may not have fathered sons of his own, so this line of the family may not have survived.
Joseph-Marie, baptized by a Pointe Coupée priest probably at Baton Rouge, age unrecorded, in August 1790, married distant cousin Madeleine Constance, daughter of fellow Acadian Théodore Bourg, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in September 1816; Madeleine's mother was a LeBlanc. Joseph's succession inventory and estimation was filed at the Thibodauxville courthouse in February 1820; he would have been only 30 years old that year.
Étienne LEBLANC (c1749-1799)
Étienne, son of probably Félix LeBlanc and his first wife Marie-Josèphe Thériot, born perhaps at Pigiguit in c1749, was deported to France probably from Île St.-Jean in 1758-59. He followed his family from St.-Malo to Boulogne in 1764 but returned to the St.-Malo area and lived at St.-Servan and Plelo. He became a plowman in France. Still a bachelor, he followed his younger sister Élisabeth's family to Louisiana aboard La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and settled with them at Ascension. Spanish officials counted him on the left, or east, bank of the river at Ascension in 1788 and 1791. He settled on upper Bayou Lafourche. Still a bachelor, he was living with his sister's family at Assumption in 1795. Two years later, Spanish officials counted him again at Assumption; he was still unmarried and owned three slaves. He died at New Orleans in August 1799, age 50. He never married.
Descendants of Joseph LEBLANC (c1753-1836)
Joseph, son of Honoré LeBlanc and Marie-Josèphe Trahan, born at L'Assomption, Pigiguit, in c1753, followed his family into exile in Virginia in 1755 and then on to England the following year. He was still a child when his family was repatriated to France in 1763. They landed at Morlaix in Brittany before moving on to Le Palais, Belle-Île-en-Mer, off the southern coast of Brittany, a year or so later. Joseph sailed to Louisiana aboard Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships, in 1785; according to the ship's passenger list, he was still a bachelor. He followed the majority of the passengers from his ship to Ascension, where he married Marguerite, daughter of perhaps Charles Foret, a fellow Acadian, in the late 1780s, though the baptism of Joseph, fils, son of Joseph LeBlanc and Marguerite Foret, at Ascension in December 1785, three months after Le St.-Rémi reached New Orleans, hints that Joseph and Marguerite may have been married when they reached the colony, though Joseph was listed as single on the ship's passenger list and in the Ascension census of 1788, where Spanish officials counted him on the right, or west, bank of the river, but he probably was living on upper Bayou Lafourche. Joseph remarried to Marie-Rose, called Rose, daughter of fellow Acadian Francois Landry, at Ascension in November 1793. They settled on upper Bayou Lafourche, where Joseph held two slaves in 1797. Their daughters married into the Landry, LeBlanc, and Mollere families. Joseph died in Assumption Parish in August 1836; the priest who recorded his burial said that Joseph was "age ca. 87 yrs." when he died, but he probably was a few years younger. Four of his sons created families of their own and remained on Bayou Lafourche.
1
Joseph, fils, perhaps his oldest son by his first wife, baptized at Ascension, age unrecorded, in December 1785, may have died young.
2
Pierre-Urbin, called Urbin or Lubin, from his first wife, born probably at Ascension in c1787, married Marie Melanie, called Melanie, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles Aucoin, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in October 1810. Their son Laurent Thomas, called Thomassin, was born in Assumption Parish in November 1814, Evariste Anaclet in September 1816, and Germain Valéry in May 1820. Their daughters married into the Achée, Landry, and LeBlanc families. Lubin remarried to Marguerite, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Landry and widow of Étienne Daigle, at the Plattenville church in January 1827. Lubin died in Assumption Parish in October 1832; he was only 45 years old.

Other LEBLANCs in the Lafourche Valley
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link some LeBlancs in the Bayou Lafourche valley with known lines of the family there:
The succession inventory of Charles LeBlanc, husband of Barbe LeBlanc, was filed at what became the Thibodauxville courthouse in December 1805. Was Charles an Acadian?
André LeBlanc married French Creole Melanie Labiche. Their son Valsin was born in Assumption Parish in March 1816, and George Thomas in Lafourche Interior Parish in February 1822. One wonders if André was Acadian.
Marcellin Adam LeBlanc married Marcellite Hébert and settled in Lafourche Interior Parish by the early 1820s.
Eusèbe LeBlanc married Félice Breaux and settled in Assumption Parish by the late 1830s.
NON-ACADIAN FAMILIES in LOUISIANA
LeBlanc is a common surname in France and other parts of Europe, as well as in French Canada. Although the great majority of LeBlancs who settled in South Louisiana were Acadians, non-Acadians settled there, too, some of them early in the colonial period. A few of them, in fact, were colonial officials, and one was a naval officer. During the late colonial period, two non-Acadian LeBlancs settled among Acadians on Bayou Teche and two others on the Acadian Coast. Other non-Acadian LeBlancs came to Louisiana from France and Canada during the antebellum period:
Cécile LeBlanc was the wife of a colonial councilor at New Orleans in the 1720s.
Marianne, daughter of Henry LeBlanc, former custodian of the colonial magazine, and Seruanne Le Marie of St. Laurent, near St.-Malo, France, married Claude, son of Jean-Baptiste Jousset La Loire of Montréal, at New Orleans in February 1725.
Marianne's sister Francoise-Laurence married Joseph Chauvin Delery of Montréal, widower of Hypolite Mercier, at New Orleans in May 1726.
Marianne and Francoise-Laurence's sister Seruanne-Pérrine-Laurence, married Bernard-Alexandre or Alexandre-Bernard, son of Pierre Vielle, burgher of Paris, and his wife Élisabeth LeBlanc, at New Orleans in June 1726. Alexandre-Bernard was head surgeon in New Orleans.
Catherine-Élisabeth, daughter of André LeBlanc and Catherine Renaud of Chouat, Saxe, France, and widow of Nicolas Alexandre of Natchez, married Nicolas Joseph, son of Pierre Larquet of Reims, France, at New Orleans in June 1730. Catherine-Élisabeth's first husband probably was one of the hundreds of victims of the Natchez War of 1729.
Charles, also called Joseph, son of Jacques LeBlanc and Marie-Rose ______ of Bruges, Flanders, married Marie-Josèphe, called Josèphe, daughter of Philippe Veuvre, surnamed Adam, at New Orleans in April 1763. Marie-Josèphe was a native of the city. Joseph was a master tailor. Their son Joseph, fils was born at New Orleans in April 1764.
Michel LeBlanc, "native of Germany," died at "the hospital for the poor," probably Charity Hospital, at New Orleans in August 1773. He was only 45 years old.
Charles, son of Thomas and Pérrine LeBlanc, "natives of Pennsylvania," married Geneviève, daughter of Jacques Fayard, at New Orleans in September 1773. Geneviève was a native of the city. One wonders if Charles was an Acadian who came to Louisiana in the late 1760s. If he was Acadian, the birthplace of his parents makes no sense.
Louis, son of Guillaume LeBlanc and Marie Schmit "of Carolina," married Catherine, daughter of André Olivaux, at Pointe Coupée in December 1778. Their son Louis, fils was baptized at Pointe Coupée, age 15 months, in July 1781.
Antoine-Louis, son of Manuel LeBlanc and Isabelle Vincent of Marseilles, France, married Louise, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Govin of Poitiers, France, probably at New Orleans. Louise was a native of the city. Their son Francois-Arsène was born at New Orleans in December 1791. Francois-Arsène died probably in the city in August 1841, age 49.
Georges LeBlanc married Marie Touranchen or Turangena and settled at St.-Jean-Baptiste on the Upper German Coast by the early 1790s Their son Jean was born probably at St.-Jean-Baptiste in June 1794.
Archival LeBlanc married Marguerite Montanary. Their daughter Marie-Archival, native of New Orleans, married into the Piquery family in the city in November 1798.
Céleste LeBlanc gave birth to a daughter at New Orleans in October 1799. The priest who recorded the girl's baptism did not bother to give the father's name or the mother's parents' names.
Anne LeBlanc married Domingue Bouligni of the Louisiana regiment. Their marriage was recorded at New Orleans in May 1803. One wonders if Anne was Acadian.
Louis LeBlanc married ____ Cheval probably at New Orleans in the late colonial period.
Jean LeBlanc married Catherine Dubois. Their daughter Marguerite died at New Orleans in November 1801.
Claire LeBlanc, widow of Joseph Delabarre, died near Convent, St. James Parish, in November 1827. The priest who recorded her burial said that she was "age 73 yrs." when she died (which meant she was born in c1754) and "nat. of France," but did not give her parents' names. One wonders where she was born in France and if she came to Louisiana during the late colonial period.
Victor LeBlanc died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in April 1837. The priest who recorded his burial said that Victor was "age 67" when he died (which meant he was born in c1770) and was "bn. in Canada." The good father said nothing about Victor's parents, however, nor did he mention a wife.

A young French naval officer came to the colony in the 1750s, married a fellow Frenchman, and established a large family. His descendants settled in the Pointe Coupée/Baton Rouge area as well as at New Orleans:
Descendants of Paul-Louis LEBLANC de Villeneuve (?-)
Paul-Louis, called Louis, son of Balthazar-Alese LeBlanc de Villeneuve of Craye, Dauphiné Province, in southeastern France, came to the colony as a young navy lieutenant in c1750. The de in his surname was no affectation; his family was of the lesser nobility. Paul-Louis married Marie-Jeanne-Robert Avart probably at New Orleans in the 1750s. After he left the naval service, Paul-Louis served as major in the New Orleans militia. He was brevetted lieutenant colonel "of the royal armies" and served as adjutant major of the Louisiana regiment. He and his wife had many sons, at least five of whom also served as officers in the Louisiana regiment or the colonial militia. One, perhaps two, of their sons moved to Pointe Coupée. ...

During the late colonial period, two non-Acadian LeBlancs settled on the western prairies among their Acadian namesakes already there:
Descendants of Pierre LEBLANC (c1727-1830)
Pierre, son of Jacob LeBlanc and Marie-Josèphe Ruleau, born probably at Montréal, Canada, in c1727, married Anastasie, daughter of Acadian Jean-Baptiste Damours de Louviere of Rivière St.-Jean, at St.-Jacques on the river in January 1775; Pierre may have been in his late 40s when he married. They moved to the western prairies and may have lived in the Opelousas District in the late 1770s and early 1780s before settling at Île-aux-Cannes on Bayou Teche, near present-day New Iberia. Their daughter married into the Broussard and Lion families. Pierre, called by the recording priest a "native of Canada," died "at the home of Raphaël Broussard at ile aux cannes" in March 1830; the St. Martinville priest noted that Pierre died "at age about 103 years." Only one of Pierre's four sons seems to have created a line that survived.

During the early antebellum period, another French-Canadian LeBlanc married an Acadian on the river and settled on upper Bayou Lafourche, but his line did not survive:
Francois-Xavier LEBLANC (c1785-1839)
Francois-Xavier, son of André LeBlanc and Charlotte or Marie Catherine Dupont dit Deshotels of St.-Antoine Parish, Montréal, married Marguerite Élisabeth, also called Marie Madeleine, daughter of Acadian Francois Marie Babin, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in February 1808. They moved to upper Bayou Lafourche. Francois died in Assumption Parish in September 1839; the priest who recorded his burial said that Francois was "nat. of Canada" and was "age 54 yrs." when he died, but the good father did not bother to give Francois's parents' names or mention a wife. One wonders if Francois and his Acadian wife had any children.
.
During the antebellum period, more LeBlancs, called Foreign French in Louisiana, emigrated to New Orleans from France and the Caribbean Basin:
John B. LeBlanc, a 31-year-old former soldier from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Otho out of Le Havre, France, in August 1820.
Benoît LeBlanc, a 28-year-old native of France, "attached to theater," reached New Orleans aboard the ship Ariane out of Le Havre in January 1825.

N. LeBlanc, a turner from France, age unrecorded, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Therese Louise out of Vera Cruz in January 1839.
Jules LeBlanc, a 25-year-old merchant from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Columbiana out of Le Havre in March 1843.
Euseb LeBlanc, a 22-year-old farmer from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Ancona out of Le Havre in October 1847.
Whilheim LeBlanc, a 25-year-old farmer from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Moselle out of Le Havre in July 1848. Also aboard that ship was Agnaise LeBlanc, a 30-year-old farmer from France, who may have been Whilheim's wife or sister.
_____ LeBlanc, a 24-year-old merchant from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Nerée out of Marseilles, France, in March 1849. With him was his 23-year-old wife, her first name also unrecorded.
Usile LeBlanc, a 25-year-old native of France, occupation unrecorded, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Buena Vista out of Le Havre, in December 1849. On the same ship was Cécile LeBlanc, age 25, probably Usile's wife.
CONCLUSION
LeBlancs were among the first families of Acadia (according to the leading Acadian genealogist, himself a LeBlanc descendant, they became, in fact, the largest family in greater Acadia), and they were some of the earliest Acadians to find refuge in Louisiana. The first of them came to the colony in February 1765 with the party from Halifax led by Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil. They followed the Broussards to the Bayou Teche valley and remained there. Later that year, even more LeBlancs from the prison compounds of Nova Scotia came to Louisiana. They settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques on what soon became known as the Acadian Coast. LeBlancs from Maryland came to the colony in the late 1760s, and they, too, settled on the Acadian Coast, at Cabanocé and St.-Gabriel d'Iberville. A few of their sons joined their cousins on the western prairies later in the colonial period, but the great majority remained on the Acadian Coast, which by 1770 had become the largest center of family settlement. They were especially plentiful in what became St. James, Ascension, Iberville, and West Baton Rouge parishes. Even more LeBlancs came to Louisiana in 1785. Some of these refugees from France joined their cousins on the Acadian Coast, but most of them settled on upper Bayou Lafourche, which became a third important center of family settlement. More LeBlancs, or their sons, who had settled on the river before 1770 migrated to the upper bayou in the late colonial and early antebellum periods, the later arrivals victims perhaps of the sugar plantation economy emerging along the river. During the early antebellum period, a LeBlanc from Bayou Lafourche reversed the usual Acadian migration pattern and "returned" to the Acadian Coast.
Non-Acadian LeBlancs came to Louisiana as early as the 1720s. Some of them were colonial officials, most of them remained at New Orleans, and none of them married Acadians. A young naval officer from southeastern France with the aristocratic surname LeBlanc de Villeneuve, married a local girl and fathered at least eight sons. His oldest son moved to Pointe Coupée and established a prominent family there and in the Baton Rouge area; his other sons remained at New Orleans; none married Acadians. Like their father, the LeBlanc de Villeneuve sons served as officers in the Louisiana regiment under the Spanish as well as in the colonial militia. During the late colonial and early antebellum periods, two non-Acadian LeBlancs settled among the Acadians on the western prairies, and two French Canadians settled among their namesakes on the Acadian Coast; one of the French Canadians moved to upper Bayou Lafourche, but his line did not survive. Living in predominantly-Acadian communities, most of these relative late-comers married Acadians. Throughout the antebellum period, Foreign-French LeBlancs emigrated to Louisiana from France; most of them remained in the New Orleans area.
Despite the impressive numbers of non-Acadian LeBlancs who settled in Louisiana, the great majority of LeBlancs in the state are Acadians. In fact, no Acadian family other than the Landrys brought more individuals to Louisiana than the LeBlancs. During the late colonial and antebellum periods, the descendants of Daniel LeBlanc emulated their Acadian forebears by settling in nearly every community of South Louisiana. ...
