I have sent an email to Mr. Granville W. Hough re the information on Simon LeBlanc on page 114 of his book:Spain's Louisiana Patriots in its 1779-1783 War with England During the American revolution Part Six Spanish Borderland Studies. Below is the entry and my correction: ***entry*** Simon LeBlanc (c 1733 Acadia, Canada - 25 Dec 1815 St Martin, La) C:72, soldier, At1, 1777. DAR:21, At Mil. BR:471, he on 21 Sep 1772 md Ysabel LeBlanc, and they bap ch during war, ASC ***end of entry*** Simon LeBlanc, bn abt 1733 was the Uncle of Simon [bt. as Simon-Joseph], bn 12/16/1744 who married Ysabel LeBlanc. This Simon and Ysabel are my 4th Great-grandparents. He also served in the American Revolution and he remained in Ascension Parish. He died bef 7/14/1810. There was another Simon LeBlanc, bn 1742, d. bef 6/10/1780, who married Anne Arceneaux [widow Bergeron] He also served in the American Revolution and is often confused with my 4th great-grandfather because both were in St. James and Ascension parishes. The date of birth for Simon shown as bn about 1733 is dervied from the age given at his death in 1815 in St. Martin Parish, but further research indicates that he was born abt 1737. He did serve in The American Revolution as did his brother, Rene. Both Simon and Rene lived and died in Attakapas [later St. Martin Parish]. They were my 5th great-granduncles. Their brother, Etienne, my 5th great-grandfather arrived in Louisiana in 1765 and died before the census of 1769. ***end of note to Mr. Hough*** I've received a reply and Mr. Hough said that he would correct the entry in his next book re the West Indies. I've offered to post all corrections to the book on my site. Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com
