Biography

Étienne LeBlanc was born in 1656 in Port-Royal, Acadie, Nouvelle-France. His parents were Daniel LeBlanc and Marie Françoise Gaudet. ^[1]

Possibly he left Acadie as a navigator and did not return.^[2]

He was not in Acadie when the 1686 census was taken and some view that he died unmarried in Acadie before then.^[3][4]

Research Notes

Stephe White does not give a death date. Placaide Gaudet says before 1686. No record in St. Anne's registers. He is not on the 1686 census, though all his brothers are listed near each other.
