Marie-Josephe Leblanc was born about 1755. Possibly her parents were Joseph Leblanc and Marie Josephe Daigre.[1].[2]
In some website (4.45 Joseph Leblanc), it is said she was deported in France with her family in 1755, but its is a misinterpretation of statement of Honoré Daigre at Belle-Isle en Mer:
"On 10 February 1767, there appeared Honore, Olivier and Paul Daigre, brothers, living at Chubiguer, Palais Parish, who in presence of Honore LeBLANC, Joseph Simon GRANGER, Arman GRANGER and Jean Baptiste GRANGER, all Acadians living on this island, witnesses, state: [...]
From the marriage of Olivier DAIGRE and Francoise GRANGER, married at the Mines, St. Charles Parish in 1723, were born at Riviere des Canards, St. Joseph Parish: [...]
Marie Josephe - born March 1728, married same place in June 1747 to Joseph LeBLANC, son of Bernard and Marie BOURG living at the Bay of Chateau", [3]
Where is Bay of Chateau? There is a Baie des Châteaux in Labrador, Canada, but no evidence that Acadians found refuge there. Most probably Baie des Chaleurs where their son Jean Baptiste LeBlanc was born in 1764...
She married Joseph Cormier in about 1771 and together they had 11 children.[1]
Their first child, Theotiste was born September 24, 1779 in Caraquet [4], and baptized May 22, 1780 at Sainte Anne de Riistigouche Catholic parish.[5]
Chidren in the Registers of Carleton, Bonaventure and Ristigouche Parishes. [6]

Élisabeth, b. ± 1775 - m. Joseph Lepage in 1802
Louis, b. ± 1777 - m. Marie Maturine Leblanc in 1802
Théotiste, b. 24 Sep 1779 - m. Joseph Poirier in 1803
Marie Jeune, b. 5 Nov 1781 - m. Pierre Babin in 1801
Aimé Constant, b. 28 Jan 1784 - m. Marie Brigitte Leblanc in 1810
Rosalie, b. 8 Nov 1785 - m. Grégoire Comeau in 1808
Éphrem, b. 11 Nov 1787 - m. Jeanne Leblanc in 1811
Raphaël, b. ± 1789 - m. Marie Nathalie Leblanc in 1819
Hubert, b. 12 May 1792 - m. Marguerite Lejeune in 1811
She died in exile; location unknown.
Her last child, Hubert Cormier being born 12 May 1792 and baptized in Ristigouche, 9 March 1794 [7], she certainly not died in exile...
It seems that she was still alive in 1808 when her daughter Rosalie married Grégoire Comeau [8], but said "deceased" on August 1810, when her son Aimé married Marie Brigitte Leblanc. [9]
