• Notes

  According to Stephen A. White's article "Les fondateurs de la paroisse d'Arichat, Cap-Breton" about Mathurin LeBlanc: Through his 10 sons, Mathurin is the ancestor of a great many LeBlanc’'s in West Arichat and Petit de Grat. See Notes for Mathurin LeBlanc, husband of Modeste-Catherine Fougère, for Stephen A. White's full description of Mathurin LeBlanc, and information about Mathurin LeBlanc's Will. Mathurin LeBlanc's Will identifies Jean Baptiste as one of his sons. The 1811 Census of Isle Madame records only one Jean Baptiste LeBlanc who resides in Petit de Grat. There is also a John LeBlanc residing in Grand Digue. The 1813 Militia Roll of Isle Madame records Baptiste LeBlanc age 32 born Nova Scotia in Petit de Grat, and John LeBlanc age 35 in ’D'Escousse. John LeBlanc in Grand Digue (in 1811) and ’D'Escousse (in 1813) is believed to be the son of Alexandre LeBlanc and Marguerite Boudrot. See Notes for Jean Leblanc, son of Alexandre LeBlanc and Marguerite Boudrot, for further information. So, it is reasonable to conclude Jean Baptiste LeBlanc of Petit de Grat is the son of Mathurin LeBlanc and Modeste-Catherine Fougère. Jean Baptiste LeBlanc submitted the following Land Petition in 1815: Petitioner, age 35, born in Nova Scotia, has a wife and four children. He asks a title to the lot on which he lives on the south side of Petit Degrat Harbour, east of lot of Francis Martell. Note: complied with.
