Daniel LeBlanc left France about 1645 for New France and settled on the north bank of the Rivière-au-Dauphin, to the northeast of the marsh at Bélisle, about 9 miles (14 km) up river from the fort at Port Royal and a half mile (1 km) below the chapel of Saint-Laurent. About 1650, he married Françoise Gaudet, a widow with a small daughter, Marie Gaudet, from her previous marriage.
