On 16 Feb 1711, Pierre LeBlanc, son of Antoine LeBlanc and Marie Bourgeois, married Franí§oise Landry, daughter of the deceased Antoine Landry and the deceased Marie Tibeaudeau. Pierre LeBlanc and Franí§oise Landry are the parents of all the Leblanc children whose records I’ve shown over the past couple of weeks.
