Misc. Notes
GAUDET, Françoise, came from France with her husband Daniel LeBlanc, according to ten depositions: five from her great-grandsons (Doc. inéd., Vol. III, pp. 42, 48, 50, 88, 117), four from her great-great-grandsons (ibid., Vol. II, p. 189; Vol. III, pp. 55, 115, 120), and one from the husband of one of her great-great-granddaughters (ibid., Vol. III, p. 54). An eleventh, from her great-grandson Honoré LeBlanc, but in which her grandson Joseph LeBlanc dit Le Maigre seems to have collaborated (ibid., Vol. II, p. 170), adds that she was Daniel’s second wife, and that she and her husband had brought with them Marie LeBlanc, the daughter of Daniel’s first marriage. Father Archange Godbout proved through an analysis of various marriage dispensations in an article published in 1952 (“Daniel Leblanc,” SGCF, Vol. V, pp. 4-9) that the first marriage was actually Françoise Gaudet’s, and that while her daughter was indeed named Marie, she was Marie Mercier, and not Marie LeBlanc. Unfortunately, none of the eleven depositions that speak of her French origin mentions Françoise’s name, but she is shown to have been Daniel LeBlanc’s wife by four Acadian censuses (see DGFA-1, p. 666).
