                          Bénoni LeBlanc...

Regarding Bénoni LeBlanc, he was definitely a son of Claude LeBlanc and Judith Benoit. The proof is in a long series of dispensations. I can provide further details regarding these if your correspondent so desires. For the present, suffice it to say that we can show that Bénoni was a brother of the Jean-Baptiste LeBlanc who married Marguerite Bourg (Jean-Baptiste and Marguerite were Paul Delaney's ancestors) and that Jean-Baptiste was a brother of the Madeleine LeBlanc who married first Claude Babin and second Nicolas Jacquet dit DesLauriers and that all three thus belonged to Claude's family. Incidentally, this Claude LeBlanc and his family were deported to Massachusetts in 1755, and in 1757 were listed as having been in Concord.
