Notes:

Louis ALLAIN 44; Marguerite BOURG (wife) 31; Pierre 7; Marie 5; 10 cattle, 12 sheep, 8 hogs, 5 1/2 arpents, 31 fruit trees, 4 guns 1 servant,. [1698 census]

Louis first appears in the New World in 1685. He bought a share in the ship Endeavor. He bought 100 acres of land in present-day Wells, Maine - which included a house and a 1/3 share in a mill on the property. Two years later, we find him in a contract with Emmanuel LEBORGNE to build and operate a mill in Port Royal. Besides being a merchant, it seems Louis also had blacksmithing skills. He married Marugerite BOURG and they had two children, Pierre and Marie.

We know they lived in Belair (near Port Royal) for a while. The creek running through the property is still called Allain's Creek/River (located just to the south of Annapolis Royal). Louis built a sawmill, grain mill, and a store on the property. He also accumulated several ships for trading. The dock on his property could accomodate two good-sized schooners. His knowledge of the English language enabled him to trade well with the English. When Acadians and French were taken prisoner to Boston, Louis was asked to serve as an intermediary in talks. When one of his partners, Jean-Baptiste Naquin, passed away in 1706, he bought his land (located further down the river).

We find Louis in the records soon after the English captured Port Royal in 1710. The governor put Louis and his son in irons in a dungeon. He charged that they were encouraging desertion among the troops.

When he passed away, he left his wealth to his daughter Marie and her husband Nicolas GAUTHIER. Nicolas continued his father-in-law's successful business. When the land was taken from Nicolas for disloyalty in 1745, it was granted to a John Easson ... an Englishman serving in Port Royal ... provided that he keep up the mill (that Louis had built).

Louis' son Pierre moved to Grand Pre and married Marguerite LEBLANC. Pierre was hurt aboard ship on the way to France and died in Brest around 1744. Of his thirteen children, there were five boys.
- Benjamin married Marie-Rose BUJOLD. They moved to Carleton.
- Jean-Baptiste married Marguerite CORMIER. They were married in Becancour, moved to St-Denis-sur-Richelieu in the mid 1770s, and later moved to Saint-Ours.
- Joseph-Antoine died at age 16 in Grand Pre.
- Louis married Anne LEGER. They lived at Petitcodiac, escaped to Miramachi to avoid deportation, and ended up at Bouctouche.
- Pierre married Catherine HEBERT. They were deported in 1755 to Maryland. In 1767, they sailed to Louisiana and settled at St. Gabriel.

He was a blacksmith and sawmill contractor in France, so he received a territorial concession in Port Royal, on 3 July 1687. Shortly after establishing himself in Port Royal, he was suspected of illicit trade with the English of New England, in 1706. The charges were again restored a few years later. The king's protection served him well though, during these accusations of corruption, because he was just ordered to pay a fine.

Antoine LeBlanc was born circa 1661 in Port-Royal, Acadie (present-day Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia) during a brief period when the the French colony was under the control of British governor Thomas Temple.

Antoine died in Grand-Pré (according to the 'Déclarations de Belle-Île-en-Mer') ? sometime between 1719 and 1730. He was still alive when his son Joseph married in 1719, but deceased 'sometime before July 20, 1730' ? when his granddaughter was christened. Here's what's recorded in the Saint-Charles-des-Mines parish records for that date:
"In the year 1730, on the 20th of July, was baptized by the undersigned priest, Anasthasie, born the same day and year, daughter of René LeBlanc, (a son of the late Antoine LeBlanc) and Anne Térriot, his wife. ..."

It's presumed that Antoine was buried in the Saint-Charles-des-Mines parish cemetery ? though there's no 'official' documentation to confirm this.



Antoine, born in c1662, married Marie, another daughter of Jacques Bourgeois and Jeanne Trahan, at Port-Royal in c1681 and also followed his older brothers to the Minas Basin, where he died before July 1730. Antoine and Marie had 10 children also, including seven sons who married into the Landry, Gautrot, Dupuis, Bourg, and Thériot families. Their three daughters married into the Landry, Allain, Richard, and Dupuis families. Antoine's son Joseph dit Le Maigre participated in the fight against Britain during King George's War.
