Marguerite Melancon, the father of Jean-Baptiste LeBlanc who gave the statement. The problem is that part of the declaration made by J-B LeBlanc is missing from Rita's quote of Lucie's site: According to The Acadians in France,Volume II Belle Isle en Mer Registers La Rochette Papers, full wording of the declaration is: "...The said Jean Baptiste LeBlanc additionally declared that Joseph Daigre, his first cousin, minor child and only son, was born at Mines in the month of March 1752 of Charles Daigre and Marie LeBlanc, sister germain of Jean Baptiste LeBlanc called Ddessapins and issue of the same ancestors; the said Charles Daigre issued of Joseph Daigre and Magdelaine Gautrot; Joseph Daigre issued of Bernard Daigre of Port Royal and died at Port La Joye on Isle Saint Jean and of Claire Bourg of Port Royal who died at Pigiguit, parish of l'Assomption; the said Bernard Daigre descended from Jean Daigre who came from France, married at Port Royal to Marie Gaudet And both of them died at the said place. The said Charles Daigre, father of the minor, died on the ship transporting the Acadian families from Virginia to England in the monht of June 1756. The said Marie LeBlanc, mother of the minor, died at Southampton in the month of August 1756..." It is possible that Jean Daigre m. to Marie Gaudet was Jean-Oliver or Oliver-Jean since SAW shows him as Oliver; but, it is important to remember that Jean-Baptiste LeBlanc was talking about his Aunt's husband's great-grandfather. My great-grandfather was called Desire but his baptismal name was Jean-Baptiste Desire so it is easy to understand how there could be name discrepancies in the declarations. In this case, there isn't an error in the BIM declaration. The quote in Rita's email left out the information that Charles Daigre m. to Marie LeBlanc was the son of Joseph Daigre m. to Magdelaine Gautrot. Joseph had a brother named Charles who was m. to Francois Doucet. This Charles was the uncle of the Charles who m. Marie LeBlanc.

I am 97% Acadian. CHARLES is a son of BERNARD and MARIE-CLAIRE BOURG. He married only once.Reading the Belle-Isle statement, I don't see how you find a second marriage for CHARLES. There are many errors in Belle-Isle. He has statements that so-and-so were married in France and then came over, when correct fact is that they met and married over here.Almost invariably,Steve White has sorted out the errors, and what you get is correct. I have rarely ever found that I could second guess Steve's conclusions.He may not be God, but he is the most competent, organized,and accurate genealogist that has ever done either Acadian or French-Canadian genealogy. Also, we frequently frequently find JEAN DAIGRE as the first DAIGRE. Steve's DICTIONNAIRE gives us OLIVIER as the spouse of MARIE GAUDET.
