This record can be found as image 130\/372<\/a> in the Quebec Vital Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for Montr\u00e9al H\u00f4pital G\u00e9n\u00e9ral des Soeurs Grises 1738-1785. The record appears on the obverse of folio 126.<\/p>\n

By itself, this record does not identify who Pierre LeBlanc is, exactly. However, at the time Pierre died,\u00a0there\u00c2\u00a0was 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 Fran\u00ed\u00a7oise Landry.<\/p>\n
