Subject: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Joseph Landry m. Magdalena [Madeleine] LeBlanc

Page 430 of DOBR, v.2 has an entry that has caused confusion for the
Landry and LeBlanc descendants. The entry under Landry reads:

Joseph, widower of Magdalena LeBlanc [parents not given] m. 25 Nov.
1781, Marie Babein, widow of Carlos Babein, [parents not given] wit.
Efreme Babin & Estevan Landry [ASC-1, 143]

Many have shown this Joseph as the spouse of Magdelaine LeBlanc, bn abt
1757, daughter of Etienne LeBlanc and Elisabeth [Isabelle] Boudrot [my
5th great-grand-parents]because Page DOBR, v. 2, p. 429 shows:

Joseph [Abraham & Marguerite Flanc] m. 23 Feb, 1773, Magdelaine LeBlanc
[Estienne & Elisabethe Boudereau] [both parents of Acadia] wit. Maturin
Savoy & Joseph LeBlanc [SJA-1, 47] Note: A correction on Page 11a of
DOBR, v.2 changes the 2 23 1773 date to 9 23 1778.

There is a problem, however, because Magdelaine LeBlanc, [Etienne and
Elisabeth Boudrot] m. a Joseph Landry who died 1/8/1784 [DOBR, v.2, p.
428]. So the Joseph Landry on page 430 of DOBR, v.2 who m. Magdalena
Babein on 25 Nov. 1781 could not have been the widower of Madgalena
LeBlanc, daughter of Etienne LeBlanc and Elisabeth Boudrot. Magdelaine
later married Henry Robichot in 1787. He died in 1799 and she m.
Jacques Lamothe 1/3/1803.

I plan to write to the DOBR to clarify the entry on p. 430 of v.2 since
there must be another Joseph and Madelaine involved.
