The following information was provided by member "The Acadien #47535334":

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.

Antoine married Marie Jeanne Bourgeois 1680. Marie (daughter of Jacques Jacob Bourgeois and Jeanne Trahan) was born 1664, Port Royal, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 10 Jun 1716, Grand Pré, Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada; was buried , Saint-Charles-des-Mines Grand Pré, Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Notes:

According to Acadian historian Father Clément Cormier, Jacques Bourgeois was an army officer who served at Port-Royal in the 1650s and evidently was the brother-in-law of Germain Doucet, sieur de La Verdure, an associate of Acadian Governor Charles d'Aulnay. When the English seized Acadia in 1654, four years after d'Aulnay's death, Robert Sedgwick, leader of the English expedition, held Jacques Bourgeois as "hostage" to insure that Doucet, in command at Port-Royal, would fulfill the terms of surrender. Father Cormier says Jacques was repatriated to France along with other French officers and never returned to Acadia. According to Cormier, it was Jacques's son, Jacques dit Jacob, not Jacques, père the soldier, who was progenitor of the family in Acadia. However, more recent studies devoted to this important family, including that of genealogist Stephen A. White, tell a different story:

Jacques dit Jacob or Jacobus Bourgeois was born in France, perhaps at La Ferté-Gaucher on Rivière Grand-Morin in Champagne east of Paris, in c1619, parents unknown. A young surgeon, trained perhaps by members of l'Ordre de Malte, Jacques was recruited by Claude Launay-Rasilly, brother of Isaac de Razilly, after the French re-established control of Acadia in the 1630s. Jacques came to Acadia in 1641 aboard the St.-François and established one of the first families in the colony. He married Jeanne, daughter of prominent settler Guillaume Trahan and his first wife Françoise Corbineau, at Port-Royal in c1643. Jeanne had come to Acadia even earlier than Jacques--in 1636 aboard the St.-Jehan, with her father, mother, and a sister. In February 1653, Jacques stood as a witness to the marriage of Governor Charles La Tour and Jeanne Motin de Reux, the widow of former Governor Charles d'Aulnay. Jacques was second in command of the post when Robert Sedgwick and his New Englishmen captured Port-Royal August 1654. Jacques remained there with his wife and children and became a farmer and a shipbuilder. He also worked as a merchant, trading regularly with the New Englanders of Boston. Having learned to speak English fluently, he served as the King's interpreter in dealings with the English. Jacques also became a successful fur trader among the Indians and ventured to every corner of the colony. It is said that in 1671, when the first Acadian census was taken, Jacques was the most properous habitant in the colony. In 1672, he sold a part of his holdings at Port-Royal and, with his two older sons and two of his sons-in-law, pioneered the major Acadian settlement of Mésagouèche, later Missaguash, on the isthmus of Chignecto, "the first swarming of the Acadians to establish their hive," as one historian describes it. He built a flour mill and a saw mill at Chignecto to encourage settlement beside the wide salt marshes that were perfect for cattle raising. In 1676, part of Chignecto became the seigneurie of Canadian-born French nobleman Michel LeNeuf de La Vallière, père, who named his 100-league holding Beaubassin. La Vallière brought in settlers and indentured employees from Canada, in direct competition with the earlier, adjacent Bourgeois settlement. According to Acadian tradition, a clause in La Vallière's land grant title "protected the interests of Jacques Bourgeois and the other Acadian settlers established on the domain," and "it was not long before the two elements of the population merged into one."

Jacques and Jeanne had 10 children, seven daughters and three sons. Six of their daughters married into the Cyr, Girouard, Boudrot, Mirande dit Tavare, Maisonnat dit Baptiste, Dugas, LeBlanc, and Comeau le jeune dit Des Loups-Marins families. A French census taker found Jacques living with one of his sons at Chignecto in 1698, but otherwise he spent his final days at Port-Royal. He died at Port-Royal in c1701, in his early 80s. All three of his sons, born at Port-Royal, created families of their own, but only two of them had sons:

Oldest son Charles, born in c1646, married Anne, daughter of Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Doucet, at Port-Royal in c1668. Charles and Anne had four children, including two sons who married into the Blanchard family. One of their daughters married into the Caissie family. One of Charles's grandsons, Honoré, who married twice into the Richard family, moved from Chignecto to Île St.-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island, in the late 1740s or early 1750s probably to escape British authority in Nova Scotia.

Germain, born in c1650, married Madeleine, daughter of Antoine Belliveau and Andrée Guyon, probably at Chignecto in c1673. They had three children, including a son who married into the Mius de Pleinmarais and Thibodeau families. Their daughter married into the Breau family. Germain remarried to Madeleine, another daughter of Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Doucet and sister of brother Charles's wife Anne, probably at Chignecto in c1682. They had 10 children, including two sons who married into the LeBlanc family. Their eight daughters married into the Poirier, Richard dit Lafond and dit Beaupré, Girouard, LeBlanc, and Robichaud dit Prudent families. In 1696, during King William's War, Germain commanded a ship in Pierre Le Moyne, sieur d'Iberville's attack on the New England fort at Pemaquid, Maine. Later that year, Germain confronted Massachusetts Colonel Benjamin Church when the Englishman attacked Chignecto. Germaine died in 1711, in his early 60s, from the rigors of being held hostage by British Colonel Samuel Vetch in the dungeon at Port-Royal during Queen Anne's War.

Youngest son Guillaume, born in c1655, married Marie-Anne, daughter of Martin d'Aprendestiguy, sieur de Martignon, a Basque fur trader and seigneur on lower Rivière St.-Jean, and Jeanne de Saint-Étienne de La Tour, daughter of former governor Charles La Tour, probably at Port-Royal in c1686. Guillaume did not follow his older brothers to Chignecto but remained with his father at Port-Royal, where he became a merchant like his father. In September 1727, he was one of the delegates from Port-Royal representing Acadian interests before the Nova Scotia Council at Port-Royal. Along with two other Acadian leaders, Charles Landry and Abraham Bourg, Guillaume refused to take the oath of allegiance to British King George II and was imprisoned for his opposition. Guillaume and his wife had only a single child, a daughter, who married into the LeBlanc family.

Jacques was a surgeon by trade. He immigrated to Port-Royal in 1642. He married Jeanne Trahan in 1643, and they are the parents of the following:

1) Jeanne (1644-1730) md Andre Coudray
2) Charles (1646-) md Anne Dugas
3) Germain (1650-1711) md Marguerite Belliveau and Madeleine Dugas

8) Anne (1661-1747) md Rene Leblanc
9) Marie (1665-) md Antoine Leblanc
10) Jeanne (1667-1716) md Pierre Comeau

Jacques became a farmer and shipbuilder in Port Royal. He traded with Bostonians and learned English, enabling him to become an interpreter. He sold part of his holdings in 1672, and settled in the Chignecto Basin, along with his two oldest sons and two of his sons-in-law. He became the first promotor of Beaubassin, by building a flour mill and a saw mill, encouraging more people to settle the area, which became very prosperous.

He returned to Port-Royal again before 1699, living there until his death in 1701.

Marie is the daughter of Rene Bernard and Andree Guyon (1620-). She married Rene Landry in 1659, in Port-Royal, Acadie. They are the parents of the following:
1) Antoine (1660-) md Marie Thibodeau
2) Claude (1663-1747) md (a) Marie Babin and (b) Anne-Catherine Thibodeau
3) Cecile (1664-1741) md (a) Etienne Racois and (b) Pierre Theriault

13) Anne (1684-) md Rene Blanchard
14) Charles (1688-1722) md Catherine Brossard
15) Isabelle (1690-)

The exact name of Marie and Jeanne Bernard's father is heavily debated. All evidence says it is not Rene or Andre so do not change the name unless you have discovered some new evidence that dozens of scholars have not found in decades of searching. The strongest evidence suggests his name was Charles. There is a marriage record in France for Charles Bernard and Andree Guyon, but it is still unclear if this was the same Andree Guyon. A profile for Charles Bernard as the spouse of Andree Guyon is linked to her profile so his information can be documented. Perhaps mtDNA evidence will someday allow us to link our Andree Guyon to the Thyphaine Pannier maternal line in France. Until then it is best to leave the given name blank.
