About Joseph Leblanc dit Le Maigre
Lived 1697 – 1772 (aged 75).
Joseph Leblanc dit Le Maigre (March 12, 1697 – October 19, 1772) was an Acadian farmer, trader and prominent patriot who took part in several attempts by the French to recover their holdings in what is now Nova Scotia. Leblanc was an important figure in the Acadian resistance to British rule and deportations.
After Louisbourg fell in 1758, for a time Leblanc operated as a pirate in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The British confiscated his possessions and imprisoned him at Halifax. After his release, Leblanc went to Miquelon. His wife died in July 1766 and, soon afterwards, he moved to the island of Belle Île in France, where he lived in the village of Kervaux. Leblanc died there at the age of 75.
