This record can be found as image 130/372 in the Quebec Vital Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for Montréal Hôpital Général des Soeurs Grises 1738-1785. The record appears on the obverse of folio 126.
By itself, this record does not identify who Pierre LeBlanc is, exactly. However, at the time Pierre died, there was only one 85-year-old man in New France with this name, leading to the conclusion that this Pierre LeBlanc had been the spouse of Marie Franí§oise Landry.
