In 1702 Pierre Paul Delabat was appointed engineer to rebuild the fortat Port Royal. The construction of the fort impacted the properties of several residents living in the area of the fort. Disputes arose between the inhabitants and Delabat regarding the value of the properties, and compensation due the owners. In 1703 the minister ordered an evaluation of all properties affected, and in 1705 three local men were assigned the duty of making those evaluations. They were Pierre LeBlanc, Pierre Gaudet, and Jean Babineau.≤ref> Brenda Dunn, A History of Port-Royal/Annapolis Royal, 1605-1800 (Halifax: Nimbus Publishing, 2004). Page 54.

On July 1, 1704 two New England war vessels, under the command of Colonel Benjamin Church entered the Annapolis Basin where they attacked the Melanson settlement. Houses and crops were burned, livestock slaughtered, and a woman with four of her children were taken hostage. Pierre LeBlanc, commander of the Port Royal Militia, agreed to deliver to Fort Royal a demand for the capitulation of the garrison, but Acadian Governor (1701-1705) Brouillon refused to surrender and instead dispatched parties of soldiers, inhabitants’ militia, and Mi'kmaq fighters along the banks of the river to fire at the English vessels, keeping them at bay.
On June 6, 1707 following a skirmish between New Englanders led by Colonel John March, and Acadian militia led by Captain Pierre LeBlanc, March lifted his siege of Port Royal, re-embarked his men, and retreated to Casco, Maine. The casualties among the Port-Royal garrison were only one man killed and a few wounded, including Captain LeBlanc, who was wounded in the thigh during the skirmish. March, on the other hand, lost 40 to 50 men.
On January 1711, Fort Royal's British Commander, Samuel Vetch, sent the garrison’s commissary, Peter Capon, to negotiate a purchase of grain from Pierre LeBlanc. While the two men sat talking in LeBlanc’s house, a group of armed Acadians burst in “with their firelocks cocked”, seized Capon, and dragged him out into the night. LeBlanc quickly went after them and arranged for Capon’s release, paying a ransom of 20 pistoles; Vetch sent an officer and fifty armed men to St. Laurent chapel (one half mile upriver from the LeBlanc homestead) the following Sunday morning to arrest Father Justinien Durand as well as leading inhabitants including Louis Allain and Germain Bourgeois along with their eldest sons, as well as Jean Comeau, Francois Broussard, and Captain Pierre LeBlanc himself. The men remained in a dungeon for several weeks.≤ref> John Mack Faragher, A Great And Noble Scheme (W.W. Norton & Company, inc publishers. Paperback version 2006), pages 110 and 133.≤/ref>
