Monte, I'm getting an education; I had never heard of Moses Hazen's 2nd Canadian. I'm familiar with Col. James Livingston's regt., popularly called the 1st Canadian regt.; they were at the battles of Saratoga, which is my project at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nysarato/sarapk.htm Page 248 of Fernow's book has a small list of persons in Hazen's Second Canadian, but no White or LeBlanc. Page 239 lists a Basil Nideau, "priv., enlisted '75 near Montreal, enl'd for the war at Albany in Capt. Oliver, [co,] Col. M. Hazen's [regt.]." He was an interpreter for General DeLongchamps (with whom I'm also not familiar) There are no entries for LeBlanc or Richard White, but a number for Stephen White (I would guess a fairly common name). Page 211 lists Pvt. Stephen White, Capt John Davis's Co., Col. Henry Livingston's 4th N.Y. regt. It states he enlisted 21 Nov '76, died 13 Apr '77. Page 550 lists Pvt. Stephen White of the 2nd Ulster County Regt., Killed in action on 24 Dec. 1778. Page 258 lists a Capt. Stephen White in a militia commanded by Lt. Col. Marinus Willet, apparently in 1781. Page 271 lists Capt. Stephen White, commanding the 4th company in Col. Jacobus VanSchoonhoven's 12th Albany Militia from Halfmoon and Ballston Districts. Finally, under casualties, on page 544 lists Capt. Stephen White, Lt. Col Willet's regt., taken prisoner near Johnstown, Oct. 26, 1781; exchanged Fall of 1782. Nothing in particular looks like your ancestor.
